| Source: Sage North America
PITTSBURGH, PA--(Marketwire - April 20, 2009) - Sage North America is bolstering its North
American ERP mid-market presence with a healthy string of new Sage ERP X3
customers. Sage ERP X3 is a fully integrated enterprise solution that
addresses the advanced business requirements of larger mid-market
distributors and manufacturers that do business internationally. The
product already is distributed in more than 35 countries, supporting
multiple locations, languages and currencies, and became part of Sage North
America in 2008. The move gives customers in the upper mid-market a more
robust ERP solution built to handle the complexities of a global economy.
The growing number of new customers indicates business owners are embracing
the advanced capabilities, performance, and ease of use offered by Sage ERP
X3.
"Our emphasis in North America is simply the next step in Sage's strategy
of offering customers a more complete array of business management
solutions as their businesses grow," said Alex Attal, executive vice
president and general manager Sage ERP X3. "Sage ERP X3 gives customers at
the upper end of the mid market an advanced solution that supports their
business needs on a global basis, while at the same time giving smaller
customers the confidence, value and peace of mind of knowing that Sage has
a solution for their business as it grows."
Among the growing list of new Sage ERP X3 customers is Yakima Chief, a
Sunnyside, WA-based hops processor, which processes five percent of the
world's supply of hops for the beer brewing industry. Supporting multiple
sites in multiple countries, Sage ERP X3 will be used to run manufacturing
and distribution operations from its Sunnyside headquarters, plus sales and
distribution offices in Belgium and Hong Kong.
