I have a new dilemma. I was subcontracted for a job yesterday so performed what I was specced and quoted to do.
Two offices in separate locations.
Office A has a PC with Sage 50 installed, Office B wants to connect to it from anywhere using their laptop.
I was told to setup remote access to PC in office A so laptop in office B can access.
Now they have changed their mind as only one user can access the Sage PC at one time with this setup. They now want:
4 users granted access to Sage 50 from remote locations.
Some may need to access accounts at same time.
There is a little more to it as they have two separate LTD company's but I will work that out later. My idea was to either:
In my mind the latter is the easiest, simplest and cheapest solution but finding out if it is actually possible is another matter. I have emailed Sage and searched google but the few sites I have found don't look too professional, e.g:
- Migrate the Sage database to the ReadyNAS in office A, setup a static IP for the internet connection in office A and have Sage installed on all 4 PCs pointing to the remotely hosted database.
- Migrate the Sage database to the cloud, have Sage installed on all 4 PCs pointing to the cloud hosted database.
- Have Sage installed in the cloud along with the database, each of the 4 users connect to the cloud virtual machine and run Sage from there.

Does anyone with Sage experience know if any of the above is possible? I know Sage are very controlling when it comes to licences and what you are and are not able to do with them.
Cheers
EDIT:
After reading thie following article it appears the cloud hosted sage 50 sites I have found are very old hence their unprofessional look. Sage One has been released by Sage but is for sole traders apparently:

So perhaps my question is which Sage 50 SaaS provider is the best?
