About Remote Data Access

What Remote Data Access (RDA) is and how it works in Sage 50 Accounts.

RDA is a cloud service that securely shares your company data, allowing access from anywhere, including at home. 

Benefits include:

• Accessing data remotely for flexible working
• Collaborate easily with colleagues and your accountant
• Set up users and manage their access

How it works

The cloud lets you share your company data securely. RDA users can connect from their own computers with Sage 50 Accounts installed. Your server or computer still stores your data, not the cloud.

---

When to use 

Use RDA when working away from your main location, like the office, or when working from home.

---

RDA or network? 

If everyone works in the same location, such as the office with computers on the same network, use your network instead of RDA.
