Discover True Business Freedom

Issue 31

For years we have had to endure siloed software platforms - swapping from one system to another, saving files, extracting data, resaving updated documents, emailing changes to colleagues, making copies for customers, backing up files at the end of the day; it's exhausting.

The list of admin tasks has been endless so much so, most of our working day is spent doing just that rather than our actual job. But finally, businesses are realising the benefits of collaboration and Sage and Microsoft Office 365 are now compatible. Welcome to the future.

It’s time to ditch the manual data input and go paperless. Streamlining your business by transitioning to the cloud is one of the easiest ways to save you and your team time and money, and by choosing Sage, the UKs market leader, you know you’re in safe hands.

As a trusted award-winning Sage Partner, Blue Logic is well versed on the new offerings – Sage 200c and Sage 50c – and can say with confidence that the new partnership with Microsoft Office 365 allows seamless transactions between the two, freeing up your time to focus on your passions rather than processes and procedures.

Say no to toggling between your Outlook and Sage platforms. Sage Accounts syncs your records, contact details, balances, transaction history and documents with Outlook. So no matter where you are, you have all the information you need to quickly and efficiently connect with your customers. For example, if you have a sales team out in the field, they can access real time information while travelling to meet a potential customer rather than having to be chained to their desks and relying on the phone to make the sale.

Whilst on the subject of travel, the new Sage data capture app is what dreams are made of – no more missing receipts! You simply take a picture of your receipt with your phone or tablet and it automatically logs your expenses into Microsoft’s One Drive which then transfers it to your Sage Account.

With the new partnership, you can also view key information about your customers using your Microsoft Outlook account. For example, you could search for recent transactions or outstanding balances all within the familiarity of your email layout. And another great advantage of the cloud is that all documents can be saved to One Drive allowing you to retrieve documents anytime, anywhere on any device.

Imagine not having to worry about remembering to take the USB stick with all your work on it to a presentation? With one simple step in Sage 50c, everything is automatically backed up to the cloud and you will be notified of any problems. As you can easily access your documents from the cloud, you no longer have to have that last minute panic and can present using Microsoft PowerPoint with confidence.

Accurate insight into your business performance is crucial when it comes to being successful. You should be able to view critical data as and when you need it without any hassle but unfortunately, that’s often not the case. Save time and support key decisions by getting straight to the business data you need — including sales, orders, invoices, productivity, budgets, profits, and much more in one single solution. Excel Reporting and Business Intelligence provide powerful trend analysis and intuitive reports enabling you to clearly plan.

If you are concerned about security, this can also be a weight off your shoulders. At Blue Logic, we can assist you on making sure every single piece of customer data on any device and in the cloud is secure should anything be lost in transit.

Make 2018 the year you welcome collaboration, organisation, accessibility and true business freedom. For more advice on how to propel your business into the future visit: www.bluelogic.co.uk
