The awards program was created in 2006, and is a project of <em>TEXAS MONTHLY<\/em> magazine, the Texas Association of Business (TAB), the Texas State Council of the Society for Human Resource Management (TSC-SHRM), and Best Companies Group.<\/p> <p>Sage North America helps nearly 3.1 million small and mid-sized businesses and nonprofits in the U.S. and Canada increase efficiency and more easily manage their operations. The company&#039;s Nonprofit Solutions business, which serves nonprofit and governmental organizations with its Sage Fundraising and Sage MIP Fund Accounting software, is headquartered in Austin, Texas. More than 100 employees work on that campus.<\/p> <p>The longest tenured employee on Sage&#039;s Austin campus, Mark Hagerty-a principal software engineer for Sage MIP Fund Accounting-joined the company in August 1992. &quot;The great people here are the main reason I&#039;ve stayed for more than 17 years,&quot; he said. &quot;In addition to offering great benefits, a nice environment, ample training, and the opportunity to contribute to various areas of the business, Sage allows me to do work I enjoy-developing software that helps nonprofits run their organizations. I also appreciate that Sage gives back to its communities on both a local and national level.&quot;<\/p> <p>Sage was recognized as one of only 85 companies in the state to be included in the statewide Best Companies to Work for in Texas survey and awards program, which was designed to identify, recognize, and honor the best places of employment in Texas.<\/p> <p>Companies from across the state entered the two-part process to determine the Best Companies to Work for in Texas. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company&#039;s workplace policies, practices, and demographics; the second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience.<\/p> <p>Sage North America was recognized and honored at the Best Companies to Work for in Texas awards ceremony at the 2010 TAB Annual Conference earlier this week.<\/p> <p>For more information on the Best Companies to Work for in Texas program, visit <a href=\"http://www.bestcompaniestx.com/\" target=\"_blank\">www.BestCompaniesTX.com<\/a> or contact Jackie Miller at 877-455-2159.<\/p><\/span><\/div><table id='zwNextPrev' width='100%'><tr><td style='text-align: left;' align='left'>&lt;&lt; Previous Article&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href='http://www.crn.com/it-channel/222400145;jsessionid=2UXXYES0OXQQFQE1GHOSKH4ATMY32JVN?pgno=6' onclick='zTrkClick(this, &#039;8a7caa111a3f8801011a6eea80ab083a&#039;,&#039;8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3c78f74340d&#039;,&#039;402881e71da6b5e8011da6b634a70028&#039;,&#039;http&#037;3A&#037;2F&#037;2Fwww.crn.com&#037;2Fit-channel&#037;2F222400145&#037;3Bjsessionid&#037;3D2UXXYES0OXQQFQE1GHOSKH4ATMY32JVN&#037;3Fpgno&#037;3D6&#039;);zwShowDetails(\"8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3c78f74340d\",\"8a7caa111a3f8801011a6eea80ab083a\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Next Article<\/a> &gt;&gt;<\/td><td style='text-align: right;' align='right'><a style='cursor:pointer' onclick='zwShowTitles(\"8a7caa111a3f8801011a6eea80ab083a\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Return to List<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/div>"},"v8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3c78f74340d":{"hiddenOpening":"<div id='zw_details_8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3c78f74340d' style='display:none'>","hiddenClosing":"<\/div>","visibleOpening":"<div id='zw_details_8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3c78f74340d'>","visibleClosing":"<\/div>","contents":"<div style='padding-top:3px;' align='left' id='full_1'><table id='zwNextPrev' width='100%'><tr><td style='text-align: left;' align='left'>&lt;&lt; <a href='http://www.sagenorthamerica.com/company/newsroom/press_releases/details?CID=1D75CD86-7DDF-0001-411D-1C6810903C00&CardId=386366&RowIndex=1&Product=*&Year=*' onclick='zTrkClick(this, &#039;8a7caa111a3f8801011a6eea80ab083a&#039;,&#039;8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3de735e352b&#039;,&#039;402881e71da6b5e8011da6b634a70028&#039;,&#039;http&#037;3A&#037;2F&#037;2Fwww.sagenorthamerica.com&#037;2Fcompany&#037;2Fnewsroom&#037;2Fpress_releases&#037;2Fdetails&#037;3FCID&#037;3D1D75CD86-7DDF-0001-411D-1C6810903C00&#037;26CardId&#037;3D386366&#037;26RowIndex&#037;3D1&#037;26Product&#037;3D&#042;&#037;26Year&#037;3D&#042;&#039;);zwShowDetails(\"8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3de735e352b\",\"8a7caa111a3f8801011a6eea80ab083a\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Previous Article<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href='http://www.sagenorthamerica.com/company/newsroom/press_releases/details?CID=1D64B49E-70BF-0001-CA33-B30014E818A0&CardId=352111&RowIndex=11&Product=*&Year=*' onclick='zTrkClick(this, &#039;8a7caa111a3f8801011a6eea80ab083a&#039;,&#039;8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3d5c389349d&#039;,&#039;402881e71da6b5e8011da6b634a70028&#039;,&#039;http&#037;3A&#037;2F&#037;2Fwww.sagenorthamerica.com&#037;2Fcompany&#037;2Fnewsroom&#037;2Fpress_releases&#037;2Fdetails&#037;3FCID&#037;3D1D64B49E-70BF-0001-CA33-B30014E818A0&#037;26CardId&#037;3D352111&#037;26RowIndex&#037;3D11&#037;26Product&#037;3D&#042;&#037;26Year&#037;3D&#042;&#039;);zwShowDetails(\"8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3d5c389349d\",\"8a7caa111a3f8801011a6eea80ab083a\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Next Article<\/a> &gt;&gt;<\/td><td style='text-align: right;' align='right'><a style='cursor:pointer' onclick='zwShowTitles(\"8a7caa111a3f8801011a6eea80ab083a\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Return to List<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/table><div id='zwInlineTitle' style='text-align:left;height:auto'><a href='http://www.crn.com/it-channel/222400145;jsessionid=2UXXYES0OXQQFQE1GHOSKH4ATMY32JVN?pgno=6' onclick='zTrkClick(this, &#039;8a7caa111a3f8801011a6eea80ab083a&#039;,&#039;8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3c78f74340d&#039;,&#039;402881e71da6b5e8011da6b634a70028&#039;,&#039;http&#037;3A&#037;2F&#037;2Fwww.crn.com&#037;2Fit-channel&#037;2F222400145&#037;3Bjsessionid&#037;3D2UXXYES0OXQQFQE1GHOSKH4ATMY32JVN&#037;3Fpgno&#037;3D6&#039;);' target='_blank' >20 To Watch In 2010<\/a><span class='zwClear'><\/span><\/div><div class='zwContentExtra' id='extra_1'><\/div><div class='zwContentText'><span class='zwInline'><font face=\"Arial\"><b>5 Companies: Sage<\/b><\/font><br/> <font face=\"Arial\">Sage North America took a channel black eye in 2009 as MIS Group, one of its largest solution providers, unceremoniously shuttered its doors, leaving hundreds of customers in the lurch. The resulting fallout caused many to question the overall health of Sage&#039;s channel and left the vendor&#039;s channel team wondering whether revenue production and customer adds are really the best measures of a solution provider&#039;s value.

Winners of the first two Sage Community Service awards are Bredet Services Inc., Oakville, Ontario CN and DSD Business Systems, San Diego, CA.<\/p> <p>&quot;At Sage, we believe that businesses and people alike lead by example, and that is why we consider corporate responsibility both a privilege and a duty,&quot; said Jodi Uecker-Rust, president, Sage Business Solutions division. &quot;We are proud to acknowledge and thank the people at Bredet Services and DSD Business Systems for the work that has earned them our first Sage Community Service awards.&quot;<\/p> <p>Bredet Services Inc. helps generate tens of thousands of dollars for national and local charities such as the Children&#039;s Wish Foundation, the Terry Fox Run and the Canadian Cancer Society. At Christmas time the company sends care packages to troops in Afghanistan, as well as underprivileged children. For more than 25 years Bredet Services Inc. also has specialized in supporting Sage ERP customers with the same passion.<\/p> <p>DSD Business Systems is grounded in the belief that responsibility, compassion and dedication to one&#039;s community are the true measurements of business success. From co-sponsoring San Diego&#039;s Adopt-a-Family at Christmas and Hire-a-Youth Programs, to extensive volunteer work in the county&#039;s educational system, the company truly embraces corporate citizenship. Established in 1984, DSD Business Systems brings similar dedication to the pursuit of helping Sage customers with a full line of integrated Sage business management solutions.<\/p> <p>The Sage Community Service awards are part of the Sage Partner Advantage Award Series, which honors business partners for a variety of outstanding achievements. Business partners receiving the Sage Community Service awards have raised the bar in terms of corporate responsibility, recognizing the need to give back to the community through volunteerism and charity work. Nominations were submitted by Sage business partners and Sage employees with selections being made by a Sage executive committee.<\/p> <p>Distinction as a Sage Community Service award recipient includes an invitation to the exclusive President&#039;s Circle. All Sage Partner Advantage Award Series recipients will be honored at an official awards ceremony at the luxurious Biltmore Resort and Spa in Phoenix, Arizona, January 25-27, 2010.<\/p><\/span><\/div><table id='zwNextPrev' width='100%'><tr><td style='text-align: left;' align='left'>&lt;&lt; <a href='http://www.crn.com/it-channel/222400145;jsessionid=2UXXYES0OXQQFQE1GHOSKH4ATMY32JVN?pgno=6' onclick='zTrkClick(this, &#039;8a7caa111a3f8801011a6eea80ab083a&#039;,&#039;8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3c78f74340d&#039;,&#039;402881e71da6b5e8011da6b634a70028&#039;,&#039;http&#037;3A&#037;2F&#037;2Fwww.crn.com&#037;2Fit-channel&#037;2F222400145&#037;3Bjsessionid&#037;3D2UXXYES0OXQQFQE1GHOSKH4ATMY32JVN&#037;3Fpgno&#037;3D6&#039;);zwShowDetails(\"8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3c78f74340d\",\"8a7caa111a3f8801011a6eea80ab083a\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Previous Article<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href='http://www.sagenorthamerica.com/company/newsroom/press_releases/details?CID=1D64B19D-D14A-0001-EEFB-6E631136A9F0&CardId=347245&RowIndex=4&Product=*&Year=*' onclick='zTrkClick(this, &#039;8a7caa111a3f8801011a6eea80ab083a&#039;,&#039;8a7c9fef259c7ffe01260e71fa611b10&#039;,&#039;402881e71da6b5e8011da6b634a70028&#039;,&#039;http&#037;3A&#037;2F&#037;2Fwww.sagenorthamerica.com&#037;2Fcompany&#037;2Fnewsroom&#037;2Fpress_releases&#037;2Fdetails&#037;3FCID&#037;3D1D64B19D-D14A-0001-EEFB-6E631136A9F0&#037;26CardId&#037;3D347245&#037;26RowIndex&#037;3D4&#037;26Product&#037;3D&#042;&#037;26Year&#037;3D&#042;&#039;);zwShowDetails(\"8a7c9fef259c7ffe01260e71fa611b10\",\"8a7caa111a3f8801011a6eea80ab083a\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Next Article<\/a> &gt;&gt;<\/td><td style='text-align: right;' align='right'><a style='cursor:pointer' onclick='zwShowTitles(\"8a7caa111a3f8801011a6eea80ab083a\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Return to List<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/div>"},"v8a7c9fef259c7ffe01260e71fa611b10":{"hiddenOpening":"<div id='zw_details_8a7c9fef259c7ffe01260e71fa611b10' style='display:none'>","hiddenClosing":"<\/div>","visibleOpening":"<div id='zw_details_8a7c9fef259c7ffe01260e71fa611b10'>","visibleClosing":"<\/div>","contents":"<div style='padding-top:3px;' align='left' id='full_3'><table id='zwNextPrev' width='100%'><tr><td style='text-align: left;' align='left'>&lt;&lt; <a href='http://www.sagenorthamerica.com/company/newsroom/press_releases/details?CID=1D64B49E-70BF-0001-CA33-B30014E818A0&CardId=352111&RowIndex=11&Product=*&Year=*' onclick='zTrkClick(this, &#039;8a7caa111a3f8801011a6eea80ab083a&#039;,&#039;8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3d5c389349d&#039;,&#039;402881e71da6b5e8011da6b634a70028&#039;,&#039;http&#037;3A&#037;2F&#037;2Fwww.sagenorthamerica.com&#037;2Fcompany&#037;2Fnewsroom&#037;2Fpress_releases&#037;2Fdetails&#037;3FCID&#037;3D1D64B49E-70BF-0001-CA33-B30014E818A0&#037;26CardId&#037;3D352111&#037;26RowIndex&#037;3D11&#037;26Product&#037;3D&#042;&#037;26Year&#037;3D&#042;&#039;);zwShowDetails(\"8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3d5c389349d\",\"8a7caa111a3f8801011a6eea80ab083a\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Previous Article<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href='http://www.webcpa.com/ato_issues/23_19/sage-users-execs-connect-at-summit-52655-1.html' onclick='zTrkClick(this, &#039;8a7caa111a3f8801011a6eea80ab083a&#039;,&#039;8a7c9fef259c7ffe01260ebd50771e40&#039;,&#039;402881e71da6b5e8011da6b634a70028&#039;,&#039;http&#037;3A&#037;2F&#037;2Fwww.webcpa.com&#037;2Fato_issues&#037;2F23_19&#037;2Fsage-users-execs-connect-at-summit-52655-1.html&#039;);zwShowDetails(\"8a7c9fef259c7ffe01260ebd50771e40\",\"8a7caa111a3f8801011a6eea80ab083a\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Next Article<\/a> &gt;&gt;<\/td><td style='text-align: right;' align='right'><a style='cursor:pointer' onclick='zwShowTitles(\"8a7caa111a3f8801011a6eea80ab083a\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Return to List<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/table><div id='zwInlineTitle' style='text-align:left;height:auto'><a href='http://www.sagenorthamerica.com/company/newsroom/press_releases/details?CID=1D64B19D-D14A-0001-EEFB-6E631136A9F0&amp;CardId=347245&amp;RowIndex=4&amp;Product=*&amp;Year=*' onclick='zTrkClick(this, &#039;8a7caa111a3f8801011a6eea80ab083a&#039;,&#039;8a7c9fef259c7ffe01260e71fa611b10&#039;,&#039;402881e71da6b5e8011da6b634a70028&#039;,&#039;http&#037;3A&#037;2F&#037;2Fwww.sagenorthamerica.com&#037;2Fcompany&#037;2Fnewsroom&#037;2Fpress_releases&#037;2Fdetails&#037;3FCID&#037;3D1D64B19D-D14A-0001-EEFB-6E631136A9F0&#037;26CardId&#037;3D347245&#037;26RowIndex&#037;3D4&#037;26Product&#037;3D&#042;&#037;26Year&#037;3D&#042;&#039;);' target='_blank' >Sage Helps Showcase B.C.

she said of the Summit. &quot;We need to work on what&#039;s working well and what&#039;s not working well. We are here to make it easier for you, our customers, to do your business processes.&quot;<\/p><p>Uecker-Rust spoke about the growing phenomenon of social media, and to showcase this, attendees were able to receive conference updates and &quot;tweeted&quot; recommendations on sessions, not to mention updated highlights on a blog that had been specifically set up for the confab. Attendees were also encouraged to share their opinions via text messages throughout the conference.<\/p> <p>&quot;[The summit] helps you develop the right questions to ask,&quot; said Jeff Livingston, a physician at MacArthur OB/GYN in Irving, Texas. Livingston was spotlighted by Sage execs as a customer who was successfully using social media to connect with his patient demographic: pregnant teens. &quot;You can get your questions answered, but it&#039;s more important to stimulate your brain, find out what people are doing and what direction you should go. This is a great place to do that,&quot; he said.<\/p><p>Attendees had a variety of sessions to choose from - some were divided into product lines to focus on support and specifics, while others were more general and business-oriented.<\/p><p>Olga Arreguin, an MAS 500 user from the Alzheimer&#039;s Association in Chicago, said that she was glad to attend for the first time - even if she had to finagle a way to get here. &quot;Cost savings is a big deal, so I had to present an external topic,&quot; she said of a project-management session she was facilitating. &quot;That&#039;s how I could get my registration paid for.&quot;<\/p><p>Arreguin added that she had many missions while at the conference, namely learning about the new version of MAS 500. &quot;We just went on [Version] 7.2 and we&#039;d like to understand why we need to be interested in 7.3,&quot; she said. &quot;It certainly piqued my interest so I came to learn more. They just released it, but like a lot of customers, we&#039;re paranoid and skeptical, so we need to read about it and test the heck out of it.&quot;<\/p><p><\/p><p>FUTURE VISION<\/p><p>During a press briefing, Himanshu Palsule, executive vice president of Sage&#039;s Business Solutions Division, discussed the company&#039;s product and marketing strategy, centering on five trends that are influencing the software market from a customer perspective - business analytics, globalization, the mobile workforce, social media and cloud computing. &quot;The vision is to take advantage of these trends without disrupting our current customers,&quot; Palsule explained.<\/p><\/span><\/div><table id='zwNextPrev' width='100%'><tr><td style='text-align: left;' align='left'>&lt;&lt; <a href='http://www.sagenorthamerica.com/company/newsroom/press_releases/details?CID=1D64B19D-D14A-0001-EEFB-6E631136A9F0&CardId=347245&RowIndex=4&Product=*&Year=*' onclick='zTrkClick(this, &#039;8a7caa111a3f8801011a6eea80ab083a&#039;,&#039;8a7c9fef259c7ffe01260e71fa611b10&#039;,&#039;402881e71da6b5e8011da6b634a70028&#039;,&#039;http&#037;3A&#037;2F&#037;2Fwww.sagenorthamerica.com&#037;2Fcompany&#037;2Fnewsroom&#037;2Fpress_releases&#037;2Fdetails&#037;3FCID&#037;3D1D64B19D-D14A-0001-EEFB-6E631136A9F0&#037;26CardId&#037;3D347245&#037;26RowIndex&#037;3D4&#037;26Product&#037;3D&#042;&#037;26Year&#037;3D&#042;&#039;);zwShowDetails(\"8a7c9fef259c7ffe01260e71fa611b10\",\"8a7caa111a3f8801011a6eea80ab083a\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Previous Article<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;Next Article &gt;&gt;<\/td><td style='text-align: right;' align='right'><a style='cursor:pointer' onclick='zwShowTitles(\"8a7caa111a3f8801011a6eea80ab083a\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Return to List<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/div>"}};
