What is Sage Software? Who owns Sage? How does Sage cloud work? As a nationwide Sage supplier and Strategic Business Partner we get asked all the time about the inner workings of Sage. In this blog post we answer all your questions and explain what we do here at Xperience.
According to the Financial Times, Sage is the UK’s second largest technology company providing accounting, enterprise resource planning (ERP), human resource (HR), payroll and payment solutions for businesses of all sizes.
The company is constantly growing, aiming to help new and existing businesses to succeed and grow in the UK and internationally. As a part of this campaign, Sage appointed Peter Jones, Dragon’s Den star and one of the UK’s most recognisable entrepreneurs, as its new Ambition Ambassador in April 2018.
Sage began as a start-up in 1981 in Newcastle, with the founder, David Goldman, wanting to automate accounting processes in his own business. Through acquisitions, including a leading desktop accounting software, Peachtree, the company has grown to 13,000 employees, serving over three million customers in 23 countries across the globe.
The current board of directors has recently changed with Stephen Kelly stepping down as a director and CEO and Steve Hare appointed as a new CEO on 2nd November.
From small business solutions to enterprise management tools, Sage accounting software will help you easily create reports, view your finances, process VAT, control cash flow and international payments, while staying up to date with the latest financial legislation, including Making Tax Digital.
In 2017, Sage launched Sage Business Cloud, offering a powerful set of cloud connected applications for businesses of all sizes, from accounting and advanced financial management to industry specific enterprise management software (ERP).
Sage cloud technology offers real-time access to finances, allowing teams to collaborate regardless of your location. Data is automatically backed up, removing the worry of losing important information.
