Sage 50Cloud Accounts

[Alain Fourreau]

Hi,

We have developed an integration program for Sage Business Cloud (Start, Standard and Plus). If one of our customers has an account with Sage 50cloud Accounts, will they be able to use our integration program? 

Or is there a separate API for Sage50cloud Accounts?

Regards,

Alain

Hi Alain, thank you for your question.

Integrations written for Sage Business Cloud Accounts would not be usable for Sage 50c. Sage 50c is currently a desktop product which provides integration via an SDK known as Sage Data Objects(SDO). API's have been made available for Sage 50c by 3rd party providers. 

Thanks

Hi Mark,

You say that Sage50c is a desktop product but its name contains c  which stands for cloud. Is that correct? Sage's website also indicates this. https://www.sage.com/en-gb/products/sage-50cloud/

So what is the cloud bit of Sage50? Is ist just a convenience way of backing up data which can then be downloaded from another device? If that is the case then what you call SDO are just a mean to talk to the data on the computer where Sage 50 is installed and not the data stored in the cloud. 

Have I understood this correctly? If so, can you point to the a Third Party you recommend.

Regards,

Alain

Hi Alain

The c relates to its cloud integration. It uses a backup cloud storage facility that allows remote users to synchronise the data and submit changes which are then persisted to the data server. There is also office 365 integration capability. 

Sage 50c is a global product name but the information i'm giving here relates only to the UK version.

We're unable to recommend an API provider but have seen both Hyperext and Codat API's used to create integrations. 

Thanks

Mark
