LAS VEGAS, NV -- 10/24/07 --
Sage Software today announced a new set of
program enhancements for Sage Software Accountants Network members in the
U.S., aimed at helping members with commonly unaddressed business needs,
such as file exchange, remote access to programs and data, and recruitment.
This is just the latest set of improvements to the Accountants Network,
which has added a number of new benefits -- ranging from CPE training
discounts to a new member locator too -- over the last couple of months.
The timing of this week's announcement coincides with The Sleeter Group
Conference, for which Sage Software is a platinum sponsor, currently at the
Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
"Our recent program improvements go beyond software, addressing real
business needs our members have, such as recruiting new employees or saving
money on activities they do every day, such as emailing large client files
back and forth," said Heather Scarpero, director, Sage Software Accountants
Network. "Many of our Accountants Network members are so busy working with
clients they rarely have time to identify tools like these that they need.
We have made it easy for the Accountants Network members, by bringing them
valuable access to discounted services that will benefit their practices
and enable them to focus on what they do best: consulting with their
clients."
Secure file transfer: Through a partnership with Leapfile, a leading secure
file transfer provider, Accountants Network members can now sign up for
Sage AssuredSend, a complimentary Secure File Transfer Service. With it
and a standard internet browser, accountants can send financial and tax
information to clients with an email up to 2GB and without overnight
delivery costs, saving them both money and time.
Remote access to programs and data: Accountants Network members are also
eligible for a discount when using GoToMyPC® for remote access, which
enables users to remotely log onto their office PCs from any other
Internet-connected computer to access all their applications and files.
Free recruitment postings to Monster.com: Staffing up for the New Year is
also easier for Accountants Network members. There is currently a war for
talent in the accounting field, making it difficult for small firms in
particular to identify and recruit new employees. To help members prepare
for busy season, the Sage Software Accountants Network is offering free job
postings on Monster.com for members through December 31st -- a $350 value.
"This is a wonderful benefit from the Sage Software Accountants Network.
Monster.com is a great resource for providing good and reliable personnel",
Patricia Angello, CPA.
The Accountants Network offers resources to increase technical competency
and help grow an accountant's practice by providing informative
communications and resources, product discounts and membership benefits
related to the Sage Software family of products. Through the Accountants
Network, accounting professionals also have access to Sage Software
products that include accounting and business management software, support
services and automatically delivered upgrades and updates, including tax
tables when applicable. In addition to software, members receive a
complimentary listing in the Accountants Network member locator.
