“We took the decision to become an online 50 bureau partner and in all honesty we are extremely pleased with that decision. The ability to offer our clients the opportunity to use Sage Line 50 Online has benefited our business in a number of ways. It has improved communication between us and our clients, enabled us to provide financial outsourcing services more efficiently, increased client retention and more importantly helped us to win more than £15k of new business within 6 months of becoming a bureau partner.”

“We have been using Online50 since September 2004. One of the most useful features is that we are able to simultaneously run a number of versions of Sage Line50 so if a client sends in their backup data from an older version we can instantly access it, saving lots of time and hassle. The IT support team have been very good, they have found solutions to almost all our problems with one phone call and when the problem required more time they happily went away to sort it out and called back with a solution.

“One of our clients has a number of sites and they have found this solution to be ideal as they can access their accounts from each of their sites and know that they are working on the most up to date database.

“The speed of report generation is quicker than even the fastest machines in our office (and we have recently invested in new ones!) and we have even tested it using a dial-up connection without problems.”

“We have found Online50 to change our way in thinking as an accountanting bureau. The greatest advantage of the system is that both accountant and client can look at the same live data simultaneously without actually having to be in the same office. We have found Online 50 has added value to our practice and the range of services we have on offer to clients. The feedback from clients has been extremely good with interest from potential clients very encouraging. Finally, the IT support has been 1st class with any problems investigated and resolved promptly.”

“We have been using the Online50 accounting solution for almost a year now, and have found this to be a fantastic tool for the accounting function of all of our businesses. With secure 24/7 access from any computer with internet access, accounts can be worked on by any person with access at any time from any place. Accessing our accounts records is now even faster than when they were on our server, due to the hosing infrastructure provided by the company. Add into this superb support (ready, fast, able and willing) from a good team, and also a handy usage monitor so you can see who has been working and when, and you are on to a winner. Highly recommended - even to the point where we suggest the companies we invest in use the system too!”

“I am a new subscriber to Online 50 and have been most impressed with its ease of use and the friendliness and efficiency of the help line. You get to speak directly to someone who can deal with your query and they have always got back to me when promised. It is a tremendous benefit to have contemporaneous access with one's clients and also to be able to work on the accounts from any location with internet access.

“Any client thinking of subscribing to Sage should seriously consider Online 50 as it can produce substantial cost savings.”

“Just a short note to say thank you to Online50 for providing an excellent solution for SME's, we not only use the facility ourselves but are telling all our clients and associates — selling on the service is so easy with such a flexible product that doesn't break the bank!”

“Prior to Online50, one of our clients was hand writing invoices at the different shops they have and re-keying data a number of times. With Online50, each shop can generate their own invoices directly in Sage Line 50, the company management can review and update the accounts from home, and the book-keeping is done by us, the company accountants, who are based seventy miles away.

“We have found processing though Online50 is very fast, thanks to the speed of the servers hosting the software, and the support team have been very helpful and efficient both in setting the system up and with any difficulties we have had.

“This is an excellent service that has opened the functionality of Sage Line 50 to a new group of users.”
