Sage hosting — Securing Sage 100 in the cloud

Businesses today want more flexibility, security, and efficiency in managing their software. For many organizations using Sage 100, moving to the cloud is no longer a “nice-to-have” but a business necessity. With Sage hosting you can have the best of both worlds — keep your existing Sage 100 setup and gain the operational benefits of a cloud environment. If you’ve been looking to enhance your Sage software experience without a full overhaul, Sage hosting may be just what your business needs.

Sage hosting allows businesses to move their Sage 100 software to a secure cloud platform. No more on-premise servers to worry about, a trusted hosting provider manages the underlying infrastructure so you can focus on using Sage 100 without the IT headaches. Unlike switching to a whole new cloud ERP like Sage Intacct, Sage hosting lets you keep using your current Sage 100 application and benefit from modern cloud technology. It’s the perfect stepping stone for organizations not ready to jump into a full ERP transition.

If you rely heavily on Sage 100 but are struggling with the limitations of on-premise systems, Sage hosting could be the answer. Whether you’re a growing business looking for scalability or wanting to reduce IT costs and improve accessibility, hosting is a proven path to modernizing your business. Moving your Sage 100 to the cloud via Sage hosting brings many benefits:

Cloud hosted Sage 100 lets you scale your business easily. Whether you’re hiring new staff or in a high growth phase, hosting means your infrastructure can keep up without the need for expensive hardware upgrades.

Remote working is here to stay and cloud hosting means your team can access Sage 100 anywhere, anytime. Sage hosting supports seamless and secure connectivity whether you’re working from the office, home or on the road.

No more expensive servers, frequent maintenance, and IT staff to troubleshoot hardware. With Sage hosting you pay a fixed monthly fee, no more unexpected expenses and reduced overall IT costs.

Hosting providers manage software updates for you. Your Sage 100 application will always be up to date with the latest features and security patches. No more manual updates that disrupt your business.

A trusted Sage hosting provider will protect your data with modern security protocols, encryption, firewalls and regular compliance checks. You can rest assured your data is safe from evolving cyber threats.

If the worst happens, a cloud hosted environment means your business will keep running. Robust backup and recovery plans means you won’t lose data or be down for extended periods.

Move your Sage 100 system to the cloud with minimal disruption. Your provider will copy your environment, test the hosted setup, and transition to the live cloud platform once ready—all with the benefits of cloud hosting. You’ll also have peace of mind knowing MicroAccounting is there with you all the way through the process:

2. Test the hosted setup: You’ll test the hosted setup to ensure everything is working as expected and aligned with your workflow.
3. Launch and transition: Once you’re satisfied with the setup, the new Sage 100 cloud-hosted environment goes live, and your staff can work just as they did before—but with all the benefits of cloud hosting.
