A new version of Sage Live has been rolled out for three Apple mobile devices in the United Kingdom and Ireland. These are the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. The update includes new collaboration capabilities, which Sage says is powered by Salesforce Community Cloud, and which enables business-wide social interactions. Sage also said the system has a complete use interface refresh that has made Sage Live beautifully fast and even easier to use."

WJ Technologies, an affiliate of accounting firm CohnReznick, has picked up Unanet. A cloud application, Unanet is designed for project-based accounting. In a prepared statement, WJ  said it would "leverage Unanet's project, resource and financial management software to build their client base in professional services and other project-driven industries." Unanet does not have a lot of market recognition but it seems likely to become more visible as for the first time it was mentioned as part of their product lines by resellers making submissions for Bob Scott's Insights Top 100 VARs.

Sage has introduced Sage Live for Accountants and Sage One Partner Edition. As with a lot of Sage product press releases, this one is long on the wonderful virtues of the products, but could be better on spelling out additional functions they have from other editions of these applications. There is more information about the Sage One Partner Edition, which is designed for accountants servicing sole-traders, entrepreneurs and micro-businesses. It is designed for onboarding clients and managing their billing and collaborating with clients by being able to view client data.
