Sage 50c subscriptions now include the option of linking up to MS Office 365 Business Premium. If you've purchased this option you'll need to have Sage 50 2017.1 with the component installed.
What's Included in the 2017.1 Component Software Update?
Starting March 2017, Sage 50c integrates with Microsoft Office 365.
Freedom!
Through the integration between Sage 50c and Office 365, customers will be able to create backups of Sage 50 company data in the cloud and see current customer and vendor financial information within Microsoft Outlook.
Starting March 2017, we are offering Sage 50c with Office 365. Customers will purchase Sage 50c and a 1-user of Office 365 Business Premium together. Contact Sales for more details at 1-888-261-9610 Monday to Friday from 6AM to 5PM PST.
This partnership provides a complete accounting and business management solution unlike anything competitors have yet done for customers in Canada, U.S. & the UK.
Small business accounting and office management has long needed one solution. We are very excited to see Sage and Microsoft partner in delivering this value to end users. We are building a strong platform for the development of future Sage 50c features.
Benefits to using the integration?
What the Outlook connector brings to the table is accessibility, users no longer have to be an accountant user of Sage 50 directly to reap the benefit. All users will have access to customer information on the go.
Automatic cloud backups, and peace of mind that data is stored safe online on the cloud.
- MS Office 365 Business premium integration means having only one bill from one vendor, a one stop shop environment for customers.
- Sage 50 client receipts data would be stored in Microsoft's One Drive
