Is Sage business cloud the same as Sage one?
Sage Business Cloud Accounting, formerly Sage One, offers all you need to manage your small business finances.
Does Sage cloud require a server?
Hosting Sage 50 in the Cloud enables you to reduce IT overheads as there is no need for expensive servers or hardware. Your accountant can easily access your company accounts which helps reduce auditing costs. Bookkeepers can easily access accounts data.
Where is Sage cloud data stored?
Like many other online solutions, data is stored in the United States of America. Sage uses the servers of Amazon to store customer data which uses secure 256 bit encryption (similar to most major banks). These servers are mirrored, which means that if one was ever to go down you would be able to continue working seamlessly as it would automatically switch over to an identical server minimising down time.

Why is the BT Switch off happening?
Basically the old BT Digital Network is out of date and can’t keep up with demand. Technology is advancing at warp speed with smart devices, phones, cloud based systems, Internet of Things (IoT) and much more.
Who will be affected?
The switch off will affect all businesses currently operating on PSTN, Copper Broadband or ISDN, which is an estimated 2 million SMEs in the UK. If your business currently has a traditional ISDN/PSTN systems then it’s going to be good practice to look for an alternative.
What should I do?
However, this is not just about phones calls. Your business may have a number of services connected to phone lines, like alarms, door entry systems and payment terminals. There are plenty of IP based solutions for these services, but you’ll need to start planning ahead to ensure business continuity and avoid getting caught in the last-minute rush.
