About Us
Your tech partner
27th September 2024
If there is one word that defines the latest generation of intelligent business systems and apps, then “integration” is definitely it. Integration has become the essential criteria for the tech tools that we use every day, in every role, to successfully run our businesses. Everything has to be able to talk to each other, align perfectly and combine to make data, insights and analytics available for progress and growth.
That’s why the BCN team are thrilled to see that the new release of Sage 200 Professional is now supported in Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop. This could be a game-changer for integration with a cloud-first strategy in mind.
Sage 200 Professional delivers a comprehensive accounts solution that is reliable, scalable and powerful to attend to all modern businesses. It provides industry leading processes and tools to make the finances of your organisation more efficient, more compliant and friction free.
As an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform it can also integrate the workflows of supply chain, inventory and customer record management (CRM). This unified power means you get better data, to make those all-important business decisions with confidence.
Better data means better decisions.
And better decisions means better business.
Sage 200 Professional has been the best-in-class choice for accounts and finance software for a very long time, but there have been some limitations and challenges for how it can be deployed across your IT environment.
Sage had always maintained there were no plans to make Sage 200 Professional a native cloud solution. This meant that the organisations that relied on it would historically have to remain with an on-premise solution or host Sage 200 in a private cloud. The news that Sage 200 is now supported in Azure Virtual Desktop opens a brand-new world of integration and support that can make a cloud-first strategy much simpler and comprehensively aligned.
Sage 200 being compatible with Microsoft AVD has several benefits that will shape the resourcing and costs of your ongoing solutions. Primarily, the management of on-premise servers or hosted Servers and the associated costs will begin to disappear, as you can successfully leverage the benefits of AVD to switch to an OpEx financial cost model. The headaches and impacts associated with hardware and software maintenance and replacements are instantly removed.
Making the switch to Microsoft AVD also delivers greater freedom and flexibility for your entire team. They will be able to access the tools they need anywhere, and at any time with quick and secure access to Sage across any device, desktop, laptop and even mobile.
With the increasing frequency and complexity of cyber threats, it’s reassuring to know that through Native Security & Business Continuity, and Multi-Factor-Authentication, your Sage 200 Professional is as safe as it can possibly be.
The shift towards cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning platforms and complete integration of business systems is just the beginning of next generation IT environments. With advances in data capture, insight and analytics, coupled with some remarkable opportunities for machine learning & AI, organisations of any size can now benefit from elevated processes, compliance & productivity in simple ways.
It’s always much better to start this journey with a trusted, experienced and professional partner that can help you navigate through your choices and find the right solution for you. BCN takes great pride in offering precisely this kind of relationship to all our customers, both existing and new.
