Full-Speed Ahead for Sage X3 With Key Partnerships and Integrations

CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwired - Jul 27, 2016) - Sage, a market leader in cloud accounting software, announces today at Sage Summit the continued success of the Sage X3 business management solution with the launch of the new Sage X3 cloud release Update 10 and a growing ecosystem of cloud applications.

At last year's Sage Summit, Sage CEO Stephen Kelly announced the end of enterprise resource planning (ERP), stating it was often synonymous with "expense, regret and pain" for business users. Since last year, Sage X3 has delivered faster, simpler and more flexible business management to midsized enterprise customers, dramatically cutting the cost and complexity of typical enterprise ERP systems. As a result, Sage X3 saw its customer base grow by more than 29% globally since last year's product update. The new Sage X3 Update 10, available to cloud customers in August, further improves the solution functionality and user experience, reinforcing Kelly's commitment to help midsized enterprises regain responsiveness and agility in managing complex operations.

Keeping businesses moving - Sage X3 Distribution cloud

Sage is also demonstrating its commitment to deliver integrated industry solutions, designed to simplify the management of the entire value chain, end to end. This is enabled by the unique set of functionality Sage X3 can provide in the midsized enterprise market, and the strong interest from partners to build upon the Sage X3 platform, resulting in a fast-growing ecosystem of complementary cloud applications integrated with the solution.

Today, Sage announced its partnership with mobile commerce solution provider XM Developments to deliver engaging and personalized shopping experiences on any device, along with the planned availability of a new connector for Salesforce CRM Enterprise Editions. This allows Sage X3 to deliver an integrated, enterprise-class cloud solution for global distributors. The new Sage X3 e-commerce solution provides the following enhanced benefits to distributors:

• Accelerates the creation of new stores by using prebuilt templates available for specific industries
