Paris, 05 Feb 2010
Softline, part of the Sage Group (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. The innovative solution is built around the customer and places emphasis on ease of use, rapid deployment and cost-effectiveness.
Recognising 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, Paul Walker, Chief Executive of The Sage Group, said: “The creation of this global organisation 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.
Jeremy Waterman, Managing Director, Softline Accpac, 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 Softline Accpac and its network of local business partners. Sage ERP X3 has also expanded a partnership with Logica, a global systems integrator, to better support multi-country ERP projects and has worked with Microsoft, Oracle and Netvibes to develop and deliver a truly innovative and global ERP solution.
