Our take

The global business landscape is undergoing rapid digital transformation, where automated operations are becoming increasingly common across various teams and practices. However, smaller companies have often lagged behind in adopting these new technologies. Sage, the market leader in accounting, financial, HR, and payroll solutions for small and medium-sized businesses, is bridging this gap by providing access to business innovations for companies of all sizes.

Founded in 1981, Sage initially developed software for its own company, pioneering automation in print estimates and basic accounting processes. Since then, the company has expanded its offerings, introducing automation to a wide range of operations. Today, Sage offers a diverse portfolio of cloud-based products, including Sage Intacct for financial management in mid-sized businesses and SageHR for enhancing connections between companies and their staff.

Throughout its history, Sage has consistently delivered innovative solutions to its clients and has earned a place in the prestigious FTSE 100 index. Recently, the company has shifted its focus towards strategic acquisitions and partnerships with other technology leaders to enhance its product offerings. One notable acquisition is Spherics, a carbon accounting solution, which will aid SMEs in their journey towards achieving net-zero carbon emissions.
