New Sage Contact Office 365 Integration

Sage recently introduced a new feature for Sage 50c called Sage Contact. Sage Contact integrates Sage 50C with Office 365 and allows users to view detailed information about Sage 50c customers and vendors when sending or receiving emails in Office 365 Mail and Microsoft Outlook. Sage Contact also allows users to add and edit customer and vendor details right inside Outlook and the new details will synchronize with your customer list in Sage 50c. This feature requires an Office 365 Business Premium account.

In Release 2 of Sage 50c 2017, the Cloud Backup process has an updated interface and includes enhanced Email Notifications letting you know when a backup has been made.
