I for one am glad Sage are finally entering this market place (must be honest when they did ‘what ever’ they did to Online50 I thought this day was going to be sooner), anyway it’s not because I will recommend them, small business has it hard enough without paying through the nose to Sage, but as the largest bookkeeping software provider in the UK whose name everyone knows this sends a clear signal that you ignore at your peril that online is the way forward, should only take 20 years or so for most of the accountants to catch on :-) Well at last!

Gives the old accountants troop a good wake-up as to the real viability of off-site solutions. I'm guessing that Duane spotted this at the recent Business Startup in London - interesting that Sage are also pushing the small end of the SME market. Lots of players in that space; Xero, Kashflow, Liquid to name a few. I wonder if they plan to roll this out to their larger SME client base, and how well it will cope with: - Stock control (a popular gripe with Line50) - Integration with clients ecommerce sites (API perhaps) - Interface with SageCRM (doubtful) - Upgrade from clients' existing Instant/Line50 installations Will be interested to see progress.
