Sage Software has impressed us yet again with the second product update for Sage 100 Version 2018. Program fixes and enhancements have been made in various modules, allowing for improved efficiency and overall a better user experience. One big change that we’ve seen is the introduction of Sage Contact for Office 365.

Sage Contact for Office 365
What is Sage Contact? When you integrate Office 365 with Sage 100, you have the ability to view all of your customer information when creating or receiving emails in Outlook 365. How does it work? By simply opening an email and then clicking the button to launch the Sage Contact add-in, you can instantly view all the details for that specific customer, including name, address, phone, email, credit information, recent invoices and payments, and even customer memos. Pretty neat, right?
