Sage 50 to Sage 200 Upgrade
Accelerating your growth with Sage 200
Sage 50 is a great software product that has been around for over twenty years. Previously known as Sage Sterling, it’s a tried and tested popular solution for small businesses.
There are lots of reasons why organisations may decide to upgrade to Sage 200. Typically, growth is a key driver for this decision. More users, transactions, warehouses, companies, complexities, internal departments, internal controls and more integration requirements. A good rule of thumb is to count the number of manual processes and spreadsheets in the business. One too many spreadsheets may be a good indicator that it’s time to upgrade.
To sum up, Sage 50cloud typically suits smaller businesses where requirements are simple and there are a small number of users and relatively low transaction volumes. It’s used mainly within the finance department and is not necessarily used across different departments. On the other hand, Sage 200 suits growing businesses and comes into its own for driving efficiencies through automation and integrated processes.

Customer Stories
Pneumatics: Michael O’Reilly
“Pneumatics Limited have worked with the people at Envisage, for more than 22 years, during which time, they have been a vital support in the growth and development of our businesses. Since implementing Sage 200, we have worked with Envisage on numerous bespoke modifications, around Stock Control, Purchasing, and Sales Order processing, in particular, and these modifications have enabled us to become more efficient in our processes, and more accurate in our reporting, and they make a huge difference to an already excellent and user-friendly ERP system, such as Sage 200.
Noreast Beers – Martina Coscoran/David McElherron
"We were using Sage 50 but we felt we had reached a point where we needed more advanced functionality, particularly for managing multiple stock locations. We also needed more detailed management reports, so we took the decision here to upgrade to Sage 200.
Since upgrading, we found that we could perform tasks much faster and the inter stock transfer was a big time saver too. We found Envisage to be excellent partners in providing support when we needed it – always in a professional and timely manner.
