The functionality in sage now, particularly improvements in recent years makes the software much more accessible to different members of staff which is great! It's not just a tool for accountants, with other areas such as project management and uploaded document management. However, the result is more staff are logged in at any one time. The need to have everyone logged out if you need to import or delete certain transactions then becomes quite disruptive and in the case of importing, prevents that function from being used to its maximum potential. Having to transact outside of normal office hours in order to avoid disruption to others has sadly now become a normal for me and I'd much rather it wasn't.
