Welcome to the Spring 2009 edition of the Sage Pastel Intelligence Online magazine! 

This is the second edition of our magazine and we are thrilled to inform you that the first one was a hit. We were able to track the number of impressions and unique visitors through Google Analytics and based on that information, we can see that the uptake was very positive. But as with all things, it could be better. So be sure to send the Sage Pastel Intelligence magazine on to your colleagues and associates so they too can benefit from all the useful information and latest tips and tricks we have to offer.

Our magazine is not the only thing to have gone online. In May this year, we also launched Pastel My Business Online, SA’s first online accounting solution. To check it out, click here.

In this edition you’ll find your favourite features on Tips & Tricks for using both Accounting Xpress and Evolution. Steven Cohen, MD of Pastel Accounting, also speaks out about the hype around small businesses and their use of Social Networking tools such as Facebook and Twitter. We’re also proud of another new addition to the magazine in the form of a guest column, with the first one being on Corporate Governance for SMEs by Mervyn King.

As always, we’d love to hear your ideas and suggestions, so if there’s anything you want to share please feel free to drop us a This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
