Sage 50 has served many businesses well. It’s familiar, straightforward, and gets the job done. But as your business evolves, so do your needs. If you're finding Sage 50 increasingly restrictive, you're not alone.
At TVT, we work with ambitious businesses ready to move beyond basic accounting software. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central offers a modern, scalable ERP solution that empowers teams, streamlines operations, and supports growth.
Eight reasons to upgrade from Sage 50 to Business Central
1. Sage 50: Solid start, but limited future
Sage 50 is designed for small businesses with simple needs. But once you start expanding - more users, more data, more complexity - it quickly shows its limitations. Manual processes, disconnected systems, and limited reporting can slow you down.
Business Central, on the other hand, is built for growth. It’s cloud-based, scalable, and integrates seamlessly with the Microsoft tools you already use.
2. Business Central: A unified platform for your entire business
Unlike Sage 50, which focuses on finance, Business Central connects your entire operation - from finance and sales to inventory and customer service. That means fewer silos, better collaboration, and smarter decision-making.
You get a single source of truth, with real-time data and insights that help you stay ahead.
3. Say goodbye to manual workarounds
Sage 50 users often rely on spreadsheets and manual processes to fill the gaps. That’s time-consuming and error-prone.
Business Central automates workflows, simplifies approvals, and reduces duplication. With built-in intelligence and integration with Power Automate, your team can focus on what really matters: driving the business forward.
4. Reporting that actually works
Sage 50’s reporting tools are basic and often require exporting to Excel for deeper analysis. Business Central offers powerful, real-time reporting and dashboards, with native integration to Power BI for advanced analytics.
No more waiting for month-end. You get the insights you need, when you need them.
5. Built for the cloud, ready for the future
Business Central is a true cloud solution: secure, always up to date, and accessible from anywhere. You don’t need to worry about backups, upgrades, or hardware.
And with Microsoft’s regular updates and innovation roadmap, you’re always ahead of the curve.
6. Seamless Microsoft integration
If your team uses Outlook, Teams, Excel, or SharePoint, Business Central fits right in. You can raise purchase orders from Outlook, collaborate in Teams, and analyse data in Excel; all without switching systems.
It’s a familiar experience, but with enterprise-grade power behind it.
7. Supported migration, tailored to you
Moving from Sage 50 to Business Central doesn’t have to be daunting. At TVT, we’ve helped businesses across industries make the switch smoothly and confidently.
We tailor the migration to your needs, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum value.
If Sage 50 is starting to feel like a tight fit, Business Central offers the space and flexibility to grow. It’s more than an upgrade, it’s a transformation.
