Welcome to the Discussion!

Hi Folks

This may be a long shot or the next best thing to happen to to Small Business users using Sage Accounts 50 in the UK.

With Sage Accounts 50 being the most popular accounting solution used by small business in the UK, and Magento being the best opensource eCommerce platform ever created, chances are, that if you have landed on this page and reading this post, you a user of both of these systems.

If you have previously searched for a solution to integrate these two systems, you would have come across several companies that actually link the two together but you will also know that all these systems are custom developed to suit your requirements and mount up to several thousand pounds to integrate. (In fact the best price I ever got was in the region of £5k + VAT.

For a new startup or small business this might be far more than what you have invested for Sage Accounts + the development of your website put together!

Being in this position and having been on the lookout for the best part of a year, there hasn't been any newcomers to the market to fill this gap and come along with a stable solution at a reasonable price.

So I'm giving this a shot, perhaps if there are enough of us out there that need a solution like this, together we can make it work.

So to get the ball rolling, please join the discussion to express your interest and ideas, or if you are a developer interested in helping out, please share with us what your can contribute to this project.

One more thing, the more people that are interested in this, the more likely something will eventually happen, so if this project means anything to you, please help out by inviting others that you know may be interested to join the discussion. Post a link on Twitter, Facebook or email your friends.

I look forward to welcoming you all on board.
