How are Sage users working remotely?

Nowadays remote work is part of our daily routines and since it does not seem like things will go back to how they used to be before Covid-19 pandemic, it is important to better understand how Sage users are working remotely.

By working remotely, we are not just referring to Sage Remote Access, which gives Finance Teams remote access to Sage, but everything else involved in the process of receiving, managing and approving invoices.

Yes, accessing Sage via a secure remote access is simple and easy but what about everything else that happens before invoices get posted to Sage:

• Will Accounts Teams start receiving company invoices at their home address?
• Will Accounts Teams be sending invoices over email to clarify any doubts they might have... is this doable and can they ensure invoices will not get lost?
• What about if several people need to look at an invoice at the same time… how can one invoice be shared with several people at the same time?
• Will Accounts Teams be sending invoices for approval via email… is this really doable… how will they keep track of the approval history?

Even if there is an answer for all the questions listed above, we also need to find a solution for how to store the invoices. This must be a simple process that, at the same time, must ensure everyone can easily have access to those invoices, regardless of whether they are office based or working remotely.

Is Sage Remote Access the best way for Sage users to work remotely?
