ST. PETERSBURG, FL--(Marketwire - June 26, 2008) - Sage Software today announced it is
partnering with Overland Park, Kan.-based nGenX to provide outsourced
hosting for Sage Abra HRMS, Sage
Software's award-winning human resource management system (HRMS) for
mid-sized businesses and organizations in North America. nGenX will offer
the ability to host the customer's Sage Abra HRMS software in a virtual
server environment with full-service information technology (IT) support,
thereby eliminating a customer's need to acquire and install server
hardware, or perform server maintenance, data storage and back-up, and
disaster recovery. Instead, Sage Abra users can choose to access the
software remotely over the Internet from nGenX's state-of-the-art data
center, which is Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) 70,
Type II-certified.
"This partnership builds on our promise to provide flexible,
cost-effective, and secure deployment choices for our Sage Abra HRMS
customers," said Jessica Simmons, vice president and general manager for
HRMS and Time Tracking, Sage Software. "Users who choose to host their
Sage Abra HRMS software with nGenX can gain flexibility, while avoiding
additional IT investments. Sage Abra operates and feels no differently in
this hosted environment, yet sensitive employee information is backed up
and secured professionally by IT experts, so HR and payroll professionals
can focus on more strategic activities."
Robert Bye, executive vice president of nGenX, said, "With nGenX,
organizations can choose to deploy Sage Abra HRMS in a hosted environment
that's both economical and secure. Data and software are backed up in our
fully monitored, tightly controlled data center, and users can access both
from any computer using any broadband connection, anywhere. We look
forward to working with Sage Software, and their business partners and
customers, to offer more deployment options, while helping to meet the HR
and payroll needs of more
mid-sized businesses and organizations."
