Is Sage 300 Cloud the Best Cloud Solution Available?

During a recent webinar, we had the pleasure of hearing from John Thomas, Principal Software Architect at Sage 300, who provided insights into the future of the product's cloud solution. John emphasized the importance of partnerships between Sage and companies like Peresoft, which have been early adopters of the product's web screens and have collaborated to move it into new paradigms.

One of the key takeaways from the webinar was that Sage 300's cloud solution offers a hybrid model that combines web and on-premise functionality, while retaining the same trusted business logic and database. This allows companies to keep their investment, training, and relationships unscathed.

JT discussed the importance of striving for parity between on-premise and cloud functionality, and highlighted ongoing efforts to achieve this in areas such as PJC, PJC Integrations, Payroll, and HRMS Integration.

Finally, Bobby and JT stressed the importance of cloud security and the benefits of Peresoft's automated cloud backups, which are provided through bakXpress. Companies can use third-party providers such as First Consulting Alliance to set up their cloud servers.

Development News

Peresoft is now offering a true Host2Host solution for EFT payments. The need to upload or download files from or to the bank has been automated and the user no longer has to log in to the bank to upload their EFT file. Using SFTP the file is now transferred immediately when the batch is posted. This means a one-time setup with automatic bank retrieval.

Using this push/push, push/pull method, the batch can either be sent to the banks SFTP servers or to the clients SFTP server. The bank will then automatically process this file and send back a report as to what was accepted or rejected (with reasons for rejection). Cashbook then retrieves the response file from the bank and posts the batch with the errors separated into an error batch. This seamless integration saves the client having to upload the file manually to the bank every time an EFT batch is created by Cashbook. Because this integration is more efficient the bank charges for all payments are therefore drastically reduced.

Current banks supported are Nedbank and Standard Bank. This new SFTP integration offered by Peresoft Cashbook is supported by most banks around the world and is easy to implement.
