Jo Fuller, Head of Pre-Sales and Product Innovation at Percipient, reviews the core Sage accounting software solutions and talks us through her guide to selecting the right product for your organisation.
Finance is the backbone of many organisations, automating, streamlining and fostering collaboration from a single solution. But the sheer number of financial management systems around means that it’s easy to become overwhelmed and feel unsure about where to start when looking for new capabilities.
The tech industry by its very nature can be confusing, and while we’re (thankfully) seeing a move away from jargon and acronym overload, in its place we’ve seen a raft of benefit-led propositions which on the face of it, can appear a little ubiquitous. With the majority of finance systems claiming to deliver efficiencies, productivity improvements, collaboration, enhanced reporting and better decision-making, how can decision-makers seek out the right option for their specific business challenges?
Choosing the Right Software
One size most definitely does not fit all when it comes to financial management software. Looking into the respective merits of each system against the size, industry, geographic profile and culture of your business is therefore crucial.
Working with a consultancy which has in-depth knowledge and experience of both the technology and your industry, can be hugely valuable in addressing this process.
The best consultancies will not only map your requirements and seek out capabilities to complement them, but unearth challenges or value adds which might not form part of the initial remit, but will deliver substantial long-term value.
But as a starting point, a straight-talking guide to the key features and functionality of each system can be incredibly useful. As a market leader, Sage provides several products all designed to deliver a plethora of benefits. But the type of system which best suits your needs is likely to vary enormously.
We’ve come up with an easy-to-read, snapshot of Sage’s core products to highlight the main features and functionality. From deployment options to international compliance and project accounting, it has been designed to allow companies to get an idea of where to start the conversation with their chosen consultancy or provider.
Award-Winning Sage Partner
Of course, choosing the right system is a big decision and the evaluation process should not be underestimated. But for those unsure about where to start, this guide aims to provide steer in the right direction and ensure that discussions with consultancies and providers are positive and productive, and lead to the right solution for your business.
