Host your Sage 50Cloud Payroll on real cloud servers

The term Sage 50Cloud Payroll is slightly misleading as it is actually still a desktop application designed to be installed on your PC. It’s just that it can integrate with Sage 50Cloud Accounts.

However, you can run Sage Payroll as a completely cloud based application using the hosted Sage services from Your Office Anywhere. The benefits to this are:

• Run Sage Payroll from anywhere in the world over the Internet
• Share Sage Payroll with colleagues in your office, or other branches, or working from home, without the need for any complex IT network systems.
• Run Sage Payroll on non-Windows devices including Mac, Chromebook, iPad, and Android devices

At Your Office Anywhere we will install your Sage 50cloud Payroll software on a dedicated remote desktop server (aka terminal server) which allows any number of colleagues to connect and run Sage Payroll at the same time, only limited by your Sage licence.

• Secure – ISO 27001 certified for our information security management system
• UK data centres

Sage Payroll Hosting FAQs

Can you access Sage payroll remotely?

Yes, you can install Sage Payroll on a hosted remote desktop service.  This will enable as many users as you need to connect to and run Sage Payroll remotely from anywhere in the world where there is an internet connection.  Sage Payroll will look and feel as if it is running on your PC (or Mac) but is in fact running on a secure cloud hosted server.

Where is Sage payroll data stored?

Sage Payroll is a desktop application. In a single user environment the data is stored on that user’s PC. In a traditional “on-premise” multi-user environment the Sage data is either kept on a local file server or shared from a PC.

In a hosted remote desktop environment when hosting with Your Office Anywhere the data is held on the remote desktop server. This is in a secure UK data centre.  Both the data centre and Your Office Anywhere are certified to ISO 27001 for their information security management system.
