Why Migrate from Sage 100 to Sage Intacct?

The industry is rapidly moving to modern, intuitive cloud ERP solutions. Migrating to Sage Intacct allows your company to spend less time managing your internal systems and more time growing your business. Join the over 14,000 Sage Intacct customers and experience the many benefits of cloud-based technology!  Here are a few reasons to consider moving to the cloud.

1. Effectively Utilize Company Resources—Legacy on-premise ERP requires your company to dedicate substantial internal resources to maintaining security, compliance, updates, and other IT tasks. Cloud-based solutions like Sage Intacct enable companies to move away from systems that require dedicated IT admins to a business user-driven system. This allows employees to focus resources on value-added revenue-generating activities such as analyzing the business, rolling out new products, and expanding into new markets.  

2. Accessibility: Cloud solutions like Sage Intacct can be accessed via an internet browser. This means users can connect to their applications at home, in the office, or while traveling. Sage Intacct is device agnostic, enabling users to access Intacct via various devices such as PCs, laptops, tablets, and smartphones without needing specific hardware or operating systems. 

3. Stay Up to Date with Advancements in Technology: Technology evolves rapidly, and maintaining an up-to-date system can be time-consuming and labor-intensive if it is on-premise. Cloud solutions like Sage Intacct receive automatic updates. These updates include new features and enhancements that are applied without user intervention, minimizing downtime and ensuring that the software is always on the latest version—enabling companies to take full advantage of advancements in AI and feature upgrades like AP Automation. 

4. Lower Cost of Ownership: Many hidden costs are associated with on-premise software. Companies must handle hardware and software maintenance, including the costs associated with IT staff to manage and troubleshoot systems. There are also additional costs for physical infrastructure, including power consumption and office space. Cloud solutions like Sage Intacct offload these responsibilities and manage all aspects associated with hosting. This reduces direct costs related to hiring and training IT staff and indirect costs like downtime and productivity losses during maintenance.

5. Security & Compliance: Organizations with on-premise solutions can sometimes continue using outdated hardware that the manufacturer may no longer support, exposing them to unpatched vulnerabilities. Cloud providers, conversely, continuously update their infrastructure to ensure performance and security. Also, cloud providers offer integrated data backup and redundancy solutions to ensure data integrity and availability. This is crucial for protecting data against loss due to hardware failure, natural disasters, or cyber-attacks. Through economies of scale, Sage Intacct can spread the cost of security measures across a large number of clients, allowing them to invest in and maintain state-of-the-art security technologies and practices. This includes advanced intrusion detection and prevention systems, firewalls, anti-malware systems, and regular security audits, guaranteeing their clients 99.8% system uptime.
