Sage modernizes finance and operations for growing businesses

Organizations running finance and operations on aging, rigid systems face slow reporting, fragmented data across entities, and manual work that does not scale with growth. Organizations that implemented Sage across its Intacct financial management and X3 enterprise resource planning (ERP) products reported faster reporting and shorter close cycles, consolidated multi-entity operations, and the configurability to match the platform to their business rather than the other way around. Notably, every interviewed customer evaluated Oracle NetSuite and chose Sage, citing prebuilt functionality, price, and fit to existing processes at the point of purchase. Interviewed customers cut the monthly close from 15 days to 10, replaced 40-minute legacy reports with reports that run in minutes, and moved from six-hour reporting days to push-button report packages. One multi-entity group consolidated 11 entities and three currencies into a single instance and brought newly acquired companies live in as little as 90 days, whereas a manufacturer gained the native traceability required for food-safety certification. By replacing SQL-dependent and green-screen legacy systems with configurable, workflow-driven applications, Sage enabled the interviewed organizations to redeploy finance staff from data entry to analysis and scale operations without proportional increases in administrative overhead.
