Sage (UK) Limited, the leader in business management software and services, today enhanced its upper mid market ERP offering with the launch of Sage ERP 1000 version 3.0, which has been specifically designed to address the issues facing mid-size organisations in the UK and Ireland. Robust, highly intuitive and easy to integrate, this innovative business management system provides a complete and joined-up view of a company’s total operations and offers an ideal platform for businesses seeking to increase collaboration, improve business insight and streamline their operations.

Ease of use and powerful reporting underpin the new Sage ERP 1000 suite and give customers the freedom to choose and customise the capabilities they need. With its flexible report designer, user-friendly interface and embedded Business Intelligence, the new suite offers rich functionality in finance, sales, inventory management, purchasing, manufacturing and service delivery that helps organisations to drive greater operational efficiency, improve financial control and ultimately enhance the customer experience. The Sage ERP 1000 suite’s updated screen designer and actionable list views also improve business insights and enables users to find accurate information and act upon it within a single screen view in order to make more informed, instant and strategic business decisions based upon the information they have available.

“Mid-market organisations and companies with more complex business requirements don’t just want functionality; they want an intuitive, cost effective and flexible ERP solution that can grow with their business over time,” explained Bob Anderson, General Manager, Sage’s Enterprise Business. “As the third largest ERP solution provider to businesses worldwide, we have unrivalled heritage, global scale, local support and expert consultancy, so our customers know that we future-proof their investments and can support them at every touch point.”

With its browser-based interface, the suite sets a new standard for organisations with complex business requirements to enjoy a low cost of ownership by minimising the need for systems administrators to manage desktop applications and reducing the overhead of IT support.

“Unlike many enterprise software providers that have scaled down their solutions for the mid-market, the Sage ERP 1000 suite has been developed for mid-market organisations from day one and has been designed with British businesses firmly in mind”, commended Anderson. “That’s why so many of Sage UK’s 100-strong network of Enterprise Business Partners have already signed-up to help satisfy demand for Sage ERP 1000 version 3.0 in the UK.”
