Sage, a maker of accounting, financial, HR and payroll technology for small and mid-sized businesses, has announced that Sage 50 is available on the cloud. This new deployment option gives customers flexible, secure access to their financial data, and prepares SMBs for future innovation.

Cloud deployment lays the foundation for Sage Copilot, the company’s AI-powered assistant that helps reduce admin work, speed up decision-making, and improve confidence in financial reporting. For Sage 50 users, Copilot will integrate directly into familiar workflows—like managing invoices or preparing reports—making everyday tasks faster and easier.

Improving access and efficiency

With Sage 50 Cloud, businesses can move from an on-premises setup to a cloud-based solution, giving them secure, centralized access to up-to-date financial information from anywhere. Automatic updates and built-in backups reduce the need for manual maintenance, while enterprise-grade security helps protect sensitive data. As businesses grow, they can easily add users or features without disrupting day-to-day operations.

This shift reflects a broader trend: 73% of US SMBs have increased their digital investment in the past year, with nearly half (49%) already seeing improved efficiency, according to the Sage Small Business, Big Opportunity survey. Sage 50 Cloud helps meet this demand—offering the flexibility and future-readiness SMBs need to thrive.

Preparing for the future with agentic AI

Sage 50 customers will now be ready to take advantage of these innovations as they become available, like agentic AI workflows that will automate entire processes, from compliance to reporting.

“Upgrading Sage 50 into the cloud is about much more than accessibility—it’s about helping small businesses prepare for the future and leapfrog to the AI era,” said Neal Watkins, Executive Vice President, Small Business & Accountants Division, Sage. “This first step removes the pain of servers and updates, makes collaboration easier, and sets the stage for AI-powered tools like Sage Copilot, agentic AI workflows, and our new Sage Copilot mobile app.”
