Original story:
The last 48 hours have been troublesome for Sage as it battled a major outage with its Sage Business Cloud Accounting software.
On Monday morning Sage’s software began bugging out and the firm began updating its status page with messages that it was investigating a potential issue with the service’s performance.
While Sage was able to address these performance issues, on 19th January its Sage Business Cloud Accounting software experienced performance issues.
The problem was traced to Sage’s hosting partner and a change was implemented to address the performance issues.
“Our hosting partner have successfully completed their change to improve the service performance. We will closely monitor performance over the next few days,” Sage wrote in a status update.
The last update from the firm came down this morning and unfortunately, performance is still degraded.
As of time of writing users can log into Sage, but are unable to access the software and are met with the message you can see below.
There is no word on when users can expect to access Sage again but we recommend checking the Sage status page regularly for updates.
