SAGE TRAINING FROM DB COMPUTER SOLUTIONS DELIVERS
ZERO ACCOUNTING DOWNTIME DURING NEW SYSTEM DEPLOYMENT
The Challenge
Recently, a mid-sized Irish company made the decision to migrate from a legacy accounting system to innovative Sage 50c. Their rationale was straight-forward: the older system was no longer supported with annual updates and upgrades by its supplier.
To ensure financial accuracy, insight, and compliance, the company demanded a state-of-the-art accounting solution.
This organisation approached DB Computer Solutions. Following a comprehensive proposal and recommendation, the company contracted for a wide-ranging solution. However, it had one over-riding requirement.
“As part of a group of companies, our reporting is critical to the operation of our organisation,” the company’s Financial Controller stated. “Subsequently, no accounting system downtime could be tolerated. We tasked DB Computer Solutions to deliver the tools and support to do just that.”
The Solution: Sage Training from DB Computer Solutions Works Hand-in-Hand
To meet this organisation’s requirements, DB Computer Solutions embarked on a comprehensive programme which included a range of solutions and capabilities:
-
Sage 50c from DB Computer Solutions – replaced the existing legacy accounting system
-
I.T. Support from DB Computer Solutions – supported the transition by deploying the new Sage 50c solution, migrating all data, and retiring the old accounting system
-
Sage Training from DB Computer Solutions – delivered critically comprehensive Sage Training for Sage 50c to company staff, ensuring zero accounting operations downtime
The Bespoke Sage 50c Training programme, carried out by qualified and experienced Sage Training personnel from DB Computer Solutions, initially drafted a training roadmap to ensure that required staff skill sets were in place prior to Sage 50c launch.
Working closely with company managers, DB Computer Solutions Sage Trainers gained a keen insight into all required tasks carried out by company back office personnel, the type of reports required by company management, and Sage 50c functionalities the company would rely on.
“DB Computer Solutions worked hand-in-hand with our staff to deliver a seamless experience,” the company’s Financial Controller added. “First, they created a Training Scope document based on our unique, critical requirements. Based on this, DB Computer Solutions developed a bespoke Sage Training programme that exactly met our needs.
“This ensured that our staff would be fully trained and ready, and all requirements met, when our new Sage 50c solution went live.”
The Critical Sequence
While DB Computer Solutions engineers deployed Sage 50c and migrated data from the old system, DB Computer Solutions Sage Trainers worked to build knowledge of the new software with relevant company staff.
The company’s Financial department were the first to benefit from Sage Training from DB Computer Solutions. Staff became adept at working with various Sage 50c functionalities and systems including Nominals, Profit & Loss, Balance Sheets, Invoices, and similar.
As this group increased its knowledge base, the company’s Sales and Purchasing Teams were also provided deep, comprehensive training.
Simultaneously, Sage Trainers also set up all financial layouts, while also designing or modifying management report templates to meet the company’s critical group reporting requirements.
