Sage 50 Accounts 2012 - New Features Overview

The new and improved features in Sage 50 Accounts 2012 were mainly based on customer feedback.  The idea was to look at the issues that cause problems for users and with the new release solve these issues and in doing so improve the overall customer experience.

 

There are three main areas of improvement which Sage have called Getting Up and Running, Daily Usability and Growth Drivers. Under these headings we've briefly listed the new and improved features.  For more information about some of these features look at our page 'Thinking About Upgrading'.
