iPhone Connect for Sage 50 Back on the App Store
Last year when I realeased S50 Remote the mobile solution for Sage on your iPhone there were some stumbling blocks for users. The biggest issue was being able to configure routers to allow external access to your company LAN. So with this in mind I set about thinking how to overcome this issue.
The first solution had me making timed extracts of the Sage data into a mySQL database so that data could be accessed from the web. Then considered the fact that many businesses do not like the idea of their data being in the ‘cloud’. So the only other alternative is to allow you to dump your Sage data onto a database on your iphone and then access the data directly from the device when you or your staff are on the road. No more router configuration issues, no privacy issues and your Sage data in your pocket! You can find more details here.

Alerts and Notifications
Following on from the resurrection of eCredit the automated credit control tool I had a conversation with a client who was enquiring about being able to have an event or a change in the Sage data trigger an automatic email to one or more customers. This got me thinking about a generic alerts system where a user can define some parameters and when a value or status changes have an automatic email or even SMS sent to one or more external recipients or to internal staff.
Now something like this does exist in the guise of BPM (Business Process Modelling) or workflow. These solutions are typically expensive and need alot of configuration. My thinking is that you have something that is simpler and user friendly but acheives the same end goal. If this is something of interest please get in touch.
