BEAVERTON, OR -- (MARKET WIRE) -- March 6, 2007 -- Sage Software announced today that it has
been named one of the 100 Best Places to Work in Oregon by Oregon Business
magazine. The magazine's 100 Best Companies competition recognizes 50
large (with 250 or more employees) and 50 small companies for excellence in
several categories, including benefits, compensation, work environment and
career development.
A record 31,000 employees and 342 organizations participated in the 13th
annual Oregon Business 100 Best survey. The rankings were determined
through confidential employee surveys and a benefits report completed by a
company representative.
Sage Software's Beaverton, Ore.-based campus, which specializes in
construction and real estate software, has been on the large company list
several times before under its previous name, Timberline Software. One of
the oldest software firms in the state, Timberline Software was founded in
1971 and acquired by Sage Software in 2003. Sage Software's parent company,
The Sage Group, plc. (LSE : SGE ), reaches a global client base that numbers
5.2 million customers worldwide. It serves these businesses through more
than 13,000 employees.
"We are proud to be recognized again as one of Oregon's best employers and
proud to be part of the growing Sage organization," said John Geffel, Sage
Software senior vice president and general manager, Construction and Real
Estate Solutions. "Our great team of employees brings new ideas, fresh
perspectives and solid experience; and this all adds up to superior value
delivered to our customers."
"We aspire to be the most admired and respected business software and
services provider in the world. Clearly awards such as this show we are
moving in the right direction," Geffel said.
Joining Sage Software on the 100 Best list this year were several
customers, including Reitmeier Mechanical and Yorke & Curtis.
The award is the latest in a long list of recent recognition for the
construction and real estate solutions group. Last month, Sage Software
received a prestigious "Vendor of the Year" award from Skanska USA Building
Inc. In December, the Sage Software Beaverton support center achieved
certification under the prestigious Support Center Practices (SCP)
Certification program for the 6th straight year. SCP Certification
quantifies the effectiveness of customer support based upon a stringent set
of performance standards and represents best practices in the industry.
Constructech magazine listed Sage Software a one of its Hottest Companies
and Portland Monthly magazine named the firm one of the 20 Best Places to
Work.
Sage Software has a growing portfolio of business management solutions
specifically tailored for the construction and real estate industries. The
portfolio is designed to provide support through the growth cycle of a
business and includes Sage Timberline Office and Sage Master Builder.
