New online destination accelerates small businesses, empowering potential entrepreneurs across North America to get motivated, get started and get paid

North America today announced SageSpark.com, a new online destination for small businesses that brings together an array of key elements entrepreneurs need to get started.  As part of SageSpark.com, Sage is also launching Billing Boss, an online invoicing service, aimed at helping North American small businesses get paid, quickly and easily. 

SageSpark.com is a centralized online resource to help early stage small businesses:

         access and use free and fee-based online applications to manage specific, discrete business needs, such as invoicing customers.

         sign up for small business services that free up their time to run their business and accelerate business growth, such as online IT helpdesk services, online marketing services, business benchmarking, and employee recruitment.

         engage in a comprehensive small business community that allows users to connect with other small businesses, find new customers, share best practices, and learn from various experts.

 ”Small businesses are starting up at a record pace for a variety of reasons: from baby boomers postponing retirement to recent college graduates, to moms trying to make extra money, and with the recent waves of layoffs and the current economy, many people are seizing the opportunity to start their own business,” said Jamie Sutherland, general manager, SageSpark.com. “With SageSpark.com, we are providing current and potential entrepreneurs with a small business accelerator that offers the choice of online services beyond traditional accounting software that will jump-start their efficiency and quickly put them on the road to success.” 

SageSpark.com delivers the elements entrepreneurs need to get started inexpensively, via free and low-cost services; and get motivated, via a strong community of experts and peers, sharing best practices and providing encouragement for entry-level businesses. 

Low-cost services include credit card processing and payroll direct deposit, a virtual IT helpdesk, and sales and marketing services, to name a few.  SageSpark.com also offers no-cost services, including Billing Boss, a simple invoicing tool.

Billing Boss is easy to use, accessible from anywhere with an internet connection, and available on 3G enabled mobile devices such as the iPhone.  With Billing Boss, small businesses can easily create and send professional-looking invoices within minutes of signing up, and get paid faster online and increase their productivity since they’ll spend less time preparing invoices and tracking down payments. 

Billing Boss is designed for businesses in North America and is currently available in seven languages with three dialects:  English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese (+ Brazil), Korean, and traditional Chinese.

Sage North America today announced enhancements to its premier timekeeping solution, Sage TimeSheet. Version 9.8 provides electronic time-keeping capabilities for users of Sage Abra HRMS, the company’s award-winning human resource management system; adds integrated support for the SQL version of Sage Abra; and includes simplified time entry features for all Sage TimeSheet customers.

A versatile electronic time and expense capture system, Sage TimeSheet can feed directly into financial, project management, and payroll systems, including Sage Abra Payroll, the payroll module for Sage Abra HRMS. Additionally, Sage TimeSheet can provide project tracking capabilities for Sage MAS 90/200 ERP and Sage MAS 500 ERP users, or function as a stand-alone project time and expense tracking tool.

Sage Abra TimeSheet 9.8 is now available as an integrated option for Sage Abra SQL HRMS. It allows employees to enter time worked online, supervisors to approve time entries, and enables Abra Payroll administrators to more easily control the time approval process, to help ensure accurate and timely payment to all employees.

In addition, several new time entry features, such as the ability to add holiday hours or other common time to all employees at once, will benefit all Sage TimeSheet users.

“[Sage TimeSheet is] an ideal solution for a distributed workforce like ours,” says Reed Sortor, systems accountant for San Francisco-based AKQA, a highly successful, global-reaching leader in digital marketing, and the creative team behind award-winning ideas and strategies used by some the world’s most recognized brands, including VISA, Nike, Coca-Cola, and Xbox. “[Using Sage TimeSheet], employees can enter their time and project-related expenses from anywhere.”

To ensure each employee has accounted for their weekly hours, AKQA has configured Sage TimeSheet to automatically generate an e-mail reminder to employees if they have not allocated their standard weekly number of hours.

“It’s critical that we have complete and accurate time recording, yet it would be an impossible task to account for it all without Sage TimeSheet,” adds Sortor.

Easy to install and administer, and flexible enough to accommodate highly complex business rules without customization, Sage TimeSheet integrates with project management, payroll, and billing systems. Compared to other project time-tracking software, Sage TimeSheet offers the most flexible configuration and customization capabilities to fit the unique requirements of most organizations, whether departmental or company-wide.

Availability

The Sage TimeSheet product line includes Sage Abra TimeSheet, Sage TimeSheet 100, Sage TimeSheet 500, Sage TimeSheet – Payroll Edition, Sage TimeSheet – MAS 90 Edition, and Sage TimeSheet – MAS 500 Edition.

Sage TimeSheet version 9.8 is now available. For more information on the Sage TimeSheet product line, including available add-ons, please visit www.sagetimesheet.com or call 800-477-6763.
