PARIS--(Marketwire - January 20, 2010) - Sage (SGE.L), one of the world's leading suppliers of
business management software and services, today unveiled its new global
mid-market ERP solution, Sage ERP X3 v6. The innovative solution is built
around the customer and places emphasis on ease of use, rapid deployment
and cost effectiveness.
Recognizing that the needs of customers are changing, with an increasing
demand for solutions to manage businesses on a global basis, Sage has
created an international team to support the development of the Sage ERP X3
business. This team includes key people from Sage's worldwide businesses,
bringing together Sage's local expertise and global resources to ensure
Sage ERP X3 is highly relevant to today's customers. The team will work
closely with Sage's local operations to ensure Sage ERP X3 is complementary
to local mid-market product offerings and includes international pre-sales
and professional services, training, global R&D and global marketing and
communications.
Speaking at the launch, Sage Group plc Chief Executive Paul Walker said,
"The creation of this global organization to support our Sage ERP X3
customers is another evolution in Sage's long history of delivering what
our customers need. We pride ourselves on being a trusted partner,
offering expertise and people who really understand their business. This is
where our local knowledge sets us apart and combined with our global
strength is a key differentiator."
"Many businesses either don't want or can't afford the complexity of
traditional enterprise software. I believe there is a significant
opportunity for Sage to fill this gap in the market and break the mould of
the conventional approach to global ERP. Sage ERP X3 is a proven solution
which addresses this need and the latest version and the new structure
demonstrates our commitment to customers in this market."
With hundreds of enhancements and new features, Sage ERP X3 v6 has been
specifically designed to address the key issues facing mid-sized and larger
businesses: reducing costs, saving time, offering full interoperability
among sites and dispersed teams across the globe and improving the overall
customer experience. The solution also offers a greater choice of
technology than ever and has been developed and can be deployed on a wide
range of technology platforms and databases, providing crucial flexibility
for customers.
General Manager Sage ERP X3 Worldwide Christopher Lettellier said, "Sage
ERP X3 v6 represents an important evolution in terms of usability, agility
and tailored provision for mid-market companies. The solution provides a
complete view of a company's operations and total financial control
throughout the entire organisation. It is a highly flexible solution,
meaning it can be tailored to fit many business requirements, and is fully
deployable either on premise or on the web."
"Its innovative, role-based web user interface allows customers to
personalise the system to their requirements and enhances their overall
experience. The solution makes manipulating complex and critical
information easy and displays it exactly how the user wants thus improving
interoperability across a business."
Sage ERP X3 is sold and supported both directly via Sage and via Sage's
network of local business partners. Sage has expanded a partnership with
Logica, a global systems integrator, to better support multi-country Sage
ERP X3 projects. Sage also has worked with Microsoft, Oracle and Netvibes
