Case Study: Sage accelerates cloud accounting and business collaboration with Microsoft Office 365

Sage reaches for the cloud to unleash accounting data and knock down business barriers

Sage, a UK-based professional services company providing accounting software, faced the challenge of helping its business customers modernize their IT environments. These customers, ranging from startups to enterprises, needed to automate processes, free employees from their desks, and improve collaboration. A specific example was long-time customer Handling Truck Services, which struggled with inefficient processes and poor access to information due to its haphazardly expanded IT infrastructure. To address this, Sage partnered with Microsoft.

By working with Microsoft, Sage integrated its Sage 50 accounting software with the cloud-based Microsoft Office 365. This solution combined the power and security of Sage's desktop application with the productivity and collaboration capabilities of the cloud. The result was Sage 50c, which provided customers like Handling Truck Services with real-time access to data from anywhere, on any device. Microsoft's support enabled Sage to bring this unified solution to market faster and with wider reach. For customers, the partnership led to increased flexibility, streamlined processes, and the ability to operate more productively.
