A lot of SMB owners wear many hats: they are the CEO, they work on publicity, they interact with clients, etc. In some instances they even act as the accountant. That’s a lot of stuff to worry about. That’s where business management software programs such as Sage 50 Accounting come in handy. These programs allow businesses to streamline their processes and activities without having to hire someone to do it. Now, you might be thinking to yourself “I’ve never even heard of Sage 50.” But, chances are you have, you just know it as Peachtree Accounting. The program, owned and published by the UK-based software company Sage, was renamed for its 2013 release.
Sage 50 has several features that make it ideal for SMBs. There are multiple versions of the software available, and are selected based on your company’s needs. All of the current versions come with some of the same basic features, such as:
- Accounts payable
- Accounts receivable
- Cash flow management
- Financial reports and statements
- And many more
One of the main problems with business management software is their price. It costs a pretty penny to invest in and license these programs, and in today’s tough financial situations, many companies are looking for ways to save money. It can also be a hassle to set up and maintain these programs. With IronOrbit’s application hosting, we have taken some of the worry out of working with these programs. Applications are stored on our servers located in state-of-the-art data centers. By virtualizing your applications, you can get all the benefits of these programs without the large upfront costs and the hassle of maintaining them. There are several advantages of having your applications hosted by IronOrbit.
