Sage Software Reviews - Have you outgrown your Sage accounting system?


For many years, Sage has provided tens of thousands of organizations with comprehensive enterprise management capabilities. From the core financial and automation features of Sage 100 to the more robust functionality of Sage 300, the software has evolved to meet the changing needs of today’s businesses. Despite these advancements, your software may lack the the agility required to support growth, and now could be a good time to look for an alternative to Sage.

There are many options to choose from, including well-known brands. How do you know which one is right for you?

Sage 100 and Sage 300 customers look to the cloud, look to the future...

At the very least, your new financial management system should offer the same capabilities that Sage does now, including basic financial features such as general ledger, sales and order management, accounts payable and receivable, purchasing, and reporting. In addition, it should integrate well with your other applications and be customizable, so you can tailor processes and reports to meet your specific needs.

Beyond that, you may want consider whether or not your Sage alternative is built with the future in mind. Is it structured to meet your needs now and as your business grows? For most organizations, that means choosing a cloud-based ERP solution.

Cloud technology offers several advantages over more traditional on-premise configurations:

  1. Lower TCO. Because of the initial investment in hardware and software of an on-premise solution, traditional ERP rollouts have steep setup costs that can take months or years to recover. Today’s ERP solutions are delivered in a SaaS model, giving clients remote access to the hardware, software, and maintenance services. All costs are compiled into a yearly rate and can be paid via a monthly subscription. This gives smaller companies access to the benefits of ERP they didn’t have before.
  2. Faster setup and implementation. Cloud ERP solutions are deployed with pre-configured settings and services, so you can be up and running much more quickly. For example, Intacct has a simple-to-set up web services API that creates secure two-way communication with other leading cloud applications, such as Salesforce and Adaptive Insights
  3. Greater flexibility and scalability. Cloud ERP software is highly scalable, which is ideal for global multi-entity and project-based organizations. In addition, the cloud gives users secure access anytime, anywhere. You should be able to enter data on your laptop, see information on your tablet, and approve transactions from your mobile phone.
  4. Better security. The leading cloud ERP solutions provide far greater security than you can with an on-premise system. Your confidential business information should be kept safe at all levels—physical/network, application, system, and data security are all paramount. This should also include full data recovery in the event of a disaster.

For businesses wanting an alternative to their current Sage 100 or 300 installations, Intacct cloud financial ERP solution provides excellent value. Intacct was designed and built for the cloud, giving you excellent ROI, efficient setup and maintenance, and a scalable, secure platform to support future growth. Let the experts at Arxis Technology help you realize the benefits of a cloud ERP solution today.
