Enbu Consulting announces Sage ERP Africa OEM agreement

Johannesburg, 10 Feb 2014

Enbu Consulting, the leading Dublin-based specialist in CRM software, has finalised an OEM agreement with Sage ERP Africa, with the scope of the agreement also including the Middle East.

In force since late January, the agreement is worth an estimated EUR500 000 to Enbu over the coming five years, and will create an expected six jobs during that same period.

The move means Enbu will be exclusive provider of the Sage ERP X3 integration solution for Sage CRM, covered by the agreement. This deal came about after Enbu showcased the solution at a number of international conferences and events, resulting in strong interest from Sage ERP Africa.

The OEM agreement represents a further strengthening of the relationship between Enbu and Sage - Enbu is already a leading global authority on Sage CRM and part of the Sage Global CRM Programme.

Commenting on the development, Enbu Consulting's Managing Director, Fran Meggs, said: "We're delighted to cement our relationship with Sage even further. We've worked with Sage CRM from the very beginning and we boast an unparalleled level of familiarity with Sage CRM, and how it can impact across an ever-widening range of business practices.
