Sage Cloud Offering

During the summer of 2016, Smith Cooper was honoured to be one of a handful of UK Sage partners who attended Sage’s global summit in Chicago.

One of the key messages from the event was Sage’s demonstrable ambition to not only gain ground in the ultra competitive cloud marketplace but to leapfrog competitors with the launch and rapid development of two new true cloud products in Sage One and Sage Live. These will be available globally and very much in the UK market

Whilst Sage has previously offered hybrid solutions such as Sage 200 online and Sage 50 Drive, these two new products are true 100% cloud based applications and are both set for significant investment & development by Sage PLC.

Sage One will address the traditional Line 50 market looking at sole traders, self-employed, entrepreneurs and small owner-led businesses and will ultimately have functionality on a par with Sage 50 professional.

Sage Live is a brand new product built on the Salesforce platform and incorporating best of breed business software by Sage along with best in class CRM by Salesforce. It is currently aimed at service businesses operating across multiple locations or with a mobile workforce but has a published ambition to include functionality that will take it to the edge of the Enterprise space.

At Smith Cooper, we believe these two products are a very exciting move by Sage and we will certainly be providing more information as they continue to develop at pace in 2017.
