Sage 200cloud??
Don’t worry, you can still run Sage 200 on premise on your own servers in house, this is a marketing re-brand from Sage only to better communicate their cloud position. The core product is the same that you are used to, with added updates and improvements. Only the name has changed.
New features include the ability to hide redundant nominal and cash book accounts. Data lists now refresh automatically following user actions such as completing an order or posting an invoice; Previously you had to click the refresh button to update your lists. Quotations can now be converted to Proformas.
Reports to assist with GDPR compliance have been added to identify personal information and accounts you have not traded with in some time. The program is Making Tax Digital (MTD) ready and HMRC are running a beta scheme for businesses who are interested in shaping the future of digital VAT submissions in the UK. A list of reported product defects have been resolved and licence renewal reminder messages now appear from 30 days before your renewal, at this point we as your Sage Business Partner can take action, instead of appearing from 60 days as it always had done in the past. Integration with the latest version of Sage CRM 2018 R2 is also now available.
