Protronics’ Sage 50 consultants have an average of 15 years and counting of Sage experience. We are experienced, pragmatic and candid. Whatever your requirement, you are unlikely to surprise us. We work with and adjust our approach appropriately for businesses from startups to subsidiaries of large corporates, and with not for profits. We understand the concerns, and talk the language, of finance managers, IT specialists and business owners.
As Sage 50 consultants we commonly help clients who want Sage 50 (previously known as Sage 50 Cloud) to do a little more than it’s intended to do as relatively inexpensive, easy to use accounts software. Sometimes we’re only asked to get involved long after Sage 50 use has moved outside its normal limits, so our role is to restore calm and order. Naturally we much prefer to be involved from the outset, as a systematic approach and smart methods can often bring success, and at the very least we can ensure that risks are understood.
Persistent problems
Our Sage 50 specialists are happy to pick up issues that fall outside the boundaries of Sage’s own support. Among others, this means that we’ll tackle recurring data problems and performance issues, and that we won’t just give advice but get hands on. In practice we can resolve most, but not all, such issues. In all cases though, we’ll ensure that you understand the underlying cause and options going forwards.
Outgrowing Sage 50
We help businesses that are outgrowing Sage 50. This may be helping assess in advance when is the best time to move. Or it may be stretching Sage 50, to delay the point at which it’s necessary to move on to a time that suits better in terms of organisation focus and capability for handling the change. Most commonly though our Sage 50 consultants our hands with Sage 50 data which is well outside its specified limits, making emergency changes to buy time.
Implementing Sage 50
When implementing Sage 50 our consultants focus is on: structuring the data to give you the information the business needs; a fully reconciled transfer of data from your previous system; and ensuring your team understand processes as well as how to use Sage 50 features.
Sage 50 optimisation
We can help you do more with Sage 50. Examples include:
- Explaining Sage 50’s capabilities and limitations, most commonly for finance people from an acquirer or with a larger company background
- Improving reporting, such as preparing Excel based management report packs
- Rebuilding Sage 50 data to allow better reporting or to more closely reflect a group wide trial balance
- Implementing unused features such as project costing
- Integration with other software, or advising your software developers on how best to integrate
