Mark Searles, Marketing Director of Sage explains "With the constant changes affecting business accountancy, such as the introduction of the Euro in Europe, it is vital that we are continually developing our software to meet the demands of our customers. The new Sage Line 50 will ensure that Sage remains the worlds leader in assisting SME's to manage their account systems effectively."

It has taken the company two years of development R&D and customer testing to ensure the product is meeting clients needs and expectations. The new Line 50 has been designed to be easy to use and has the ability to integrate into other software packages such as Microsoft.
