Sage announces launch of Sage ERP X3 v6 and new approach to the Sage ERP X3 business

Sage evolves to meet changing customer needs with new international team and ERP solution for companies with complex, international and global requirements.

Paris, January 20th, 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.

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 plc 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."
