As a Sage customer, it’s never been easier to work remotely and empower your business. We’ve put together a list of tools and helpful tips to keep your business on track when you may need to work somewhere other than your office.

There are several ways that you may be able to access your data remotely, and we recommend you work with your Sage Business Partner and IT Specialist to determine which method is best for your company. Some of your options may include:

• Back up your data daily and store somewhere so that you can access it remotely e.g. cloud backups. The payroll application allows you to create data backups of your payroll companies on a regular basis - ensure you upload the data and do not only store it locally.
• Set up a terminal server where you can access the software and all data remotely. 
• Set up a Virtual Private Network (VPN) so that users can access their work computer through Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) from a home computer
• Install your software on a laptop or PC you can bring home and work using a backup of the data.
  • Note: If multiple people will need to access the data this may not be the best option because you would need to re-enter the data from all users when you are able to get back to the office.
