Learn something new and spectacular about Sage every day.
But on a positive note, I learn correct terminology
How old is your sage install?
We have Business Works (formally Business Works Gold). I'm pretty sure they have moved onto a real DB connection. They use a Pervasive DB.
We've had it literally since the beginning of time (when it was still Peachtree Accounting). We "upgraded" from version 2017 to 2018 last week.
What's it called?
? Peachtree Accounting, as I understand it, was the original application. The company that developed it was bought by Sage, which rebranded the applicaiton to Sage Accounting [insert flavor here]. We use Sage 50 Quantum.
Wow, that website is a joke. It looks like a high school kid's project.

Looks like Sage bought Peachtree in 1999, so we've been using this application since at least then.
Sure, there's no reason that Sage couldn't have converted it to a DBMS
Every blog did it, pretty sad if accounting software can't.

Why isn't businesses going with something like Workday (https://www.workday.com/) instead of hosting their own like Sage?

Because I will not, ever, use a company that has such shit software, that I have to fork over sales info to watc( a 3 minute demo video.

I like this philosophy.

Someone watched a video on the sales funnel and decided to add a filter right at the top.

The only thing I would not run over wifi is VoIP phones, not because of security but stability on the network.
I've been doing this all week (and I'm in India) without issues....
