A Beginners Guide to Sage 200

[ad_1]

Most successful companies have relied on upon using certain software or programmes to keep the general day-to-day running of their business smooth and problem free. One of these ecommerce processes that is used more popularly than any other is Sage. Recently the Sage 200 was released this year in January which included various changes including better usability, easier ecommerce processes and customization.

Sage 200 was designed to be simpler and trouble free. Previous Sage programmes were not as customizable and users were restricted on the changes they would have wanted to make. Sage is management software and allows for companies to organise and coordinate their business from one place. These include customer-facing systems, back office processes, retail/wholesale activities, management of engineering, manufacturing and the construction industry.

This allows for the staff to work together rather than separately and helps the directors to have instant access to the company as a whole allowing them to plan for future developments. Most of the software has seen changes, improvements and major updates that have helped to evolve into a significant role for running businesses and companies, through a long period. These include Sage 200 Financials and Sage 200 Commercials, which are all based on Sage MMS.

These days the software can be used to fit the company’s individual needs, such as managing sales and purchase processing orders, stock organization, pricing, and allocations. In the past this was not possible as previous versions were not as flexible. Important features that enable for project costing, analysis, billings etc have made it easier to manage projects effectively with multiple staff members to have access to all of the available information for the company.

History

The Sage software group were founded by David Goldman, Paul Muller and Graham Wylie in 1981, which was initially set up to develop account software for smaller businesses. Wylie was taken on for a summer job for a government small business writing software to help their record keeping. The software written became the basis for Sage Line 50. Goldman then hired Wylie to write new software for his printing company in which Wylie used the same software to produce the first versions of Sage Accounts. This impressed him so much that he hired both Graham and Muller to form the company Sage, which began by selling to printing companies gradually extending out to a wider market.

By 1984 the company launched Sage software, where the sales for the software increased from 30 per month to 300 per month. It was then listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1989. From this point onwards it became the biggest selling software and gaining popularity.
