The Sage Transform 2024 conference highlighted the importance of Microsoft Excel in accounting, with its enduring popularity among attendees, who prioritize its usability and access. Sustainability efforts are gaining traction, with Sage's initiatives such as Sage Earth, which encourages small businesses to measure their carbon emissions, and the company's commitment to environmental impact. Domain-specific artificial intelligence is also on the horizon, with Sage working on an accounting-specific LLM called Sage Copilot, set to launch next year, which will help users unlock continuous accounting insights.
