Press Release Summary: Sage 50 is the UK’s best selling accounting software package
and is recommended by 90% of the UK’s practicing accountants. However, with
businesses demanding more and more from their accounting software and the accounts
market increasing in competition is Sage 50 able to hold its own? DMC Software
Solutions specialists in training, supporting, supplying and implementing Sage CRM
business solutions analyse whether the latest version of Sage 50, Sage 50 Accounts
2009, has improved enough to allow it to compete with its strongest competitors.

Press Release Body: Launched in August this year the new Sage 50 Accounts 2009 is
the product of much research and development and boasts some significant
improvements over its predecessors. Sage 50 2009 promises to offer ‘certainty in
uncertain times’ for its users with special features introduced specifically to
improve debt management and cash flow.

This latest version of Sage 50 has an exciting new feature: an inbuilt diary in
which a business can prioritise its workload, set reminders, automate diary events,
such as follow up promised payments, and integrates with Microsoft Outlook. All of
which is aimed at enabling the user to improve productivity and increase efficiency.


The system’s newly enhanced dashboards are designed to help keep track of the
company’s cash flow, and include facilities to allow for planning further ahead and
a communication history in which the user can record communications to each account,
so the correct information is always to hand. Despite these improvements is Sage 50
still the system of choice for small businesses?

There is no definitive answer. While Sage 50 provides more than enough functionality
for the majority of businesses, there may be some applications where it is not
suitable.

Differing businesses operate in different ways and therefore before purchasing a new
accounts solution it is vital that research of the market place is undertaken. Many
businesses who believe that a system such as Sage 50 will meet their requirements
eventually choose something more advanced in its capabilities such as Sage 200.

Sage 50 is still as good as it ever was, if not better. Small businesses will be
attracted by its ease of use, functionality and cost efficiency, which will more
than meet their requirements.

The system’s expansive add-ons for activities such as Payroll and forecasting, and
vertical market applications such as Manufacturing, Retail and Construction make
Sage 50 is a highly accomplished tool.

Few programs in the small business market can match Sage 50 for usability and price
which is why it remains the UK’s best selling accounts solution, and there is little
doubt that its dominance will remain.

Some superior alternatives are however available in the mid market arena, which out
perform Sage 50 in many areas. But for small business with smaller budgets Sage 50
is set to remain the system of choice.
