Sage 200 Bank Feeds

Product Notification (July 2023)

Sage are making changes to how some customers access banking data in Sage 200.

Sage have made this decision to move to ‘Open Banking’ to make accessing bank and payment information faster and more secure.

What does this mean?

If you are using Sage 200 Bank Feeds, some of the connections you currently use will be switched off and you will need to connect to a new bank feed before this happens.

The process to do this is very simple!

What are your next steps?

The process varies slightly depending on which bank you connect with.

See below for detailed instructions on how to change your banking connection for each bank you may connect with:

  • HSBC
    (Connections concerning Savings and/or loan accounts & Channel Islands & Isle of Man accounts)

Sage is confident that the new ‘Open Banking’ connection will provide a seamless and secure way for you to import your transactions.

If you need further information or advice please contact us, or alternatively contact the support team on 0345 260 1151.

GCC upgrade process & tasks

Sage 200 – End of Support

Sage has a software lifecycle policy for Sage 200 meaning every year an older version of Sage 200 is moved into end of support. Full details of the ‘Sage Lifecycle Policy’ can be viewed here.

A summary of the Sage Lifecycle Policy:

  • The Sage 200 product lifecycle is the current version minus 2 previous versions.
    i.e. The current version of Sage 200 is version 2022. Therefore versions 2020 and below will be moving into, or already be in ‘End of Support’.

What does Sage 200 End of Support mean?

End of Support does not mean the software will stop working. The software can still be used, BUT Sage will withdraw support, updates, patches and legislative updates.

Note: There are limitations & risks if you stay on a version that is in End of Support.

GCC Customer Testimonials – Sage 200 Users

“The Sage 200 upgrade was one of the best projects we ran last year, it has helped us dramatically streamline and improve our processes.”

Steve Wilkinson, IT Manager

“From the initial quote, to the project planning, to the testing phase and the installation, GCC made this the smoothest Sage 200 upgrade I’ve been involved with.

They helped us through the process of upgrading Sage 200 with no hiccups and very little disruption.”

Steve Penny, Commercial Manager

“Everything is now in one place with Sage 200 – we now have one piece of software that controls both the accounts and the inventory.”

Sarah Hitchcock, Managing Director

“We engaged GCC to support & manage Sage 200.  Everything was done professionally and on time…a fantastic service.”

Boston Mwense, Finance & Support Director

“Sage 200 has helped us grow as a business – something that was imperative when choosing a new accounting system. The ongoing Sage 200 support we have received from GCC has been fantastic.”

Michael Armstrong, CFO

“We could not run our business without Sage 200. It gives us a view of what’s happening in real-time – making us much more efficient.”

Richard Boyle, Finance Director

 

“The Sage 200 upgrade installation is running nicely and the whole process of moving went well due to the great support from the GCC team, who went above and beyond what was expected.

We had inherited a terrible environment set up from a previous support partner, however GCC guided us through getting our PC’s and systems ready to run SAGE smoothly.”

 

Lee Williams, IT & Systems Manager of Volmary
