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.e-channelnews.com/ec_storydetail.php?ref=420064' onclick='zTrkClick(this, &#039;8a7caa111aa3e7b1011aa7573cae00f1&#039;,&#039;8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3af3a212f96&#039;,&#039;402881e71da6b5e8011da6b634a70028&#039;,&#039;http&#037;3A&#037;2F&#037;2Fwww.e-channelnews.com&#037;2Fec_storydetail.php&#037;3Fref&#037;3D420064&#039;);zwShowDetails(\"8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3af3a212f96\",\"8a7caa111aa3e7b1011aa7573cae00f1\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Next Article<\/a> &gt;&gt;<\/td><td style='text-align: right;' align='right'><a style='cursor:pointer' onclick='zwShowTitles(\"8a7caa111aa3e7b1011aa7573cae00f1\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Return to List<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/div>"},"v8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3af3a212f96":{"hiddenOpening":"<div id='zw_details_8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3af3a212f96' style='display:none'>","hiddenClosing":"<\/div>","visibleOpening":"<div id='zw_details_8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3af3a212f96'>","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;8a7caa111aa3e7b1011aa7573cae00f1&#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\",\"8a7caa111aa3e7b1011aa7573cae00f1\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Previous Article<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href='http://www.sagenorthamerica.com/company/newsroom/press_releases/details?CID=1D75CBF6-67AC-0001-20EB-8CA01FC01B50&CardId=377517&RowIndex=4&Product=*&Year=*' onclick='zTrkClick(this, &#039;8a7caa111aa3e7b1011aa7573cae00f1&#039;,&#039;8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3dd07513512&#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;3D1D75CBF6-67AC-0001-20EB-8CA01FC01B50&#037;26CardId&#037;3D377517&#037;26RowIndex&#037;3D4&#037;26Product&#037;3D&#042;&#037;26Year&#037;3D&#042;&#039;);zwShowDetails(\"8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3dd07513512\",\"8a7caa111aa3e7b1011aa7573cae00f1\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Next Article<\/a> &gt;&gt;<\/td><td style='text-align: right;' align='right'><a style='cursor:pointer' onclick='zwShowTitles(\"8a7caa111aa3e7b1011aa7573cae00f1\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Return to List<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/table><div id='zwInlineTitle' style='text-align:left;height:auto'><a href='http://www.e-channelnews.com/ec_storydetail.php?ref=420064' onclick='zTrkClick(this, &#039;8a7caa111aa3e7b1011aa7573cae00f1&#039;,&#039;8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3af3a212f96&#039;,&#039;402881e71da6b5e8011da6b634a70028&#039;,&#039;http&#037;3A&#037;2F&#037;2Fwww.e-channelnews.com&#037;2Fec_storydetail.php&#037;3Fref&#037;3D420064&#039;);' target='_blank' >Reseller Choice Awards 2009 Winners Announced<\/a><span class='zwClear'><\/span><\/div><div class='zwContentExtra' id='extra_1'><span class='zwDate '>February 1, 2010<\/span><\/div><div class='zwContentText'><span class='zwInline'><h3>Resellers make their voice heard<\/h3> <p>2009 has been a difficult year for many people and businesses.

The paper covered all of the ideas you&#039;d expect including lowering costs and improving access to on-demand applications.  But there was another part of the paper that speculated that if technology was that easy to come by then the next thing to look for was enhanced service based on the technology.<\/p> <p>In other words, technology access would cease being a gating factor in executing business processes.  Replacing technology as a gating factor would be having the smarts to use it optimally.  I envisioned that service companies that had operated more or less locally would, or at least could, become national or global by selling their expertise based on the on-demand technology.  The computer and telephone enabled public relations firms to become national in scope, but a bit more is required for a marketing services company or a design company for example.<\/p> <p>It has taken a long time and it seems what happened first and what I had not fully foreseen was the globalization of applications based on platform technologies.  Right now, Salesforce appears to be the most successful practitioner of that art.  But now we appear to be at the beginning of an era when business services will become global or at least national based on the consolidated expertise of some organizations.<\/p> <p>Judging by some of Sage Software&#039;s recent actions, that globalization might be taking off at the SMB end of the spectrum.  Recently, Sage announced new marketing services for its ACT! customers.  The first service will be email marketing available on-demand.  Now this may not seem to be a very big move since there are many independent email marketing providers already on the market like Constant Contact, ExactTarget, VerticalResponse and many others (you get 36 million hits on Google).<\/p> <p>But don&#039;t lose sight of the bigger picture.  With a three million user installed base in North America that has many marketing needs beyond email, Sage is poised to build a services engine that could eventually rival its software business.  This would be a very smart end run around the company&#039;s own business model limitations.  To be precise, Sage sells its products exclusively through a reseller channel.  The resellers deliver product, customization and advice leaving slim pickings for Sage beyond the license revenue.<\/p> <p>The primary way Sage grows in this model is through product sales and by recruiting new partners.  But no market is infinite and the market of resellers is relatively small compared to the market of end users.  You see where I am going.  There is nothing prohibiting Sage from offering services based on the products it makes and the installations that its partners effect.  As a matter of fact, offering this kind of service, which only makes the end customer more productive, should drive demand for the products themselves.  Looks like a smart and virtuous circle to me as well as a new kind of on-demand service.<\/p> <p>I believe the era we are entering will be constraining for many companies in several ways, not the least of which is transportation.  As fuel prices resume their rise with the recovery, companies will need to find ways to take travel costs out of their value propositions.  That should mean a need to enhanced marketing as in, how can we use marketing rather than face time to close more deals?<\/p> <p>The answer to that question goes beyond email marketing and probably beyond the meager efforts that so many SMB companies now use to sell their products.  Centralizing key services that can be delivered at scale via the Internet will enable SMB&#039;s to continue to compete in select markets against larger competitors.  It is also a growth market and who doesn&#039;t like that?<\/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=1D75CBF6-67AC-0001-20EB-8CA01FC01B50&CardId=377517&RowIndex=4&Product=*&Year=*' onclick='zTrkClick(this, &#039;8a7caa111aa3e7b1011aa7573cae00f1&#039;,&#039;8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3dd07513512&#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;3D1D75CBF6-67AC-0001-20EB-8CA01FC01B50&#037;26CardId&#037;3D377517&#037;26RowIndex&#037;3D4&#037;26Product&#037;3D&#042;&#037;26Year&#037;3D&#042;&#039;);zwShowDetails(\"8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3dd07513512\",\"8a7caa111aa3e7b1011aa7573cae00f1\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Previous Article<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href='http://www.channelinsider.com/c/a/Spotlight/Sage-Launches-New-Midmarket-Software-Suite-686231/' onclick='zTrkClick(this, &#039;8a7caa111aa3e7b1011aa7573cae00f1&#039;,&#039;8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3ad94182f7d&#039;,&#039;402881e71da6b5e8011da6b634a70028&#039;,&#039;http&#037;3A&#037;2F&#037;2Fwww.channelinsider.com&#037;2Fc&#037;2Fa&#037;2FSpotlight&#037;2FSage-Launches-New-Midmarket-Software-Suite-686231&#037;2F&#039;);zwShowDetails(\"8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3ad94182f7d\",\"8a7caa111aa3e7b1011aa7573cae00f1\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Next Article<\/a> &gt;&gt;<\/td><td style='text-align: right;' align='right'><a style='cursor:pointer' onclick='zwShowTitles(\"8a7caa111aa3e7b1011aa7573cae00f1\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Return to List<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/div>"},"v8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3ad94182f7d":{"hiddenOpening":"<div id='zw_details_8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3ad94182f7d' style='display:none'>","hiddenClosing":"<\/div>","visibleOpening":"<div id='zw_details_8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3ad94182f7d'>","visibleClosing":"<\/div>","contents":"<div style='padding-top:3px;' align='left' id='full_4'><table id='zwNextPrev' width='100%'><tr><td style='text-align: left;' align='left'>&lt;&lt; <a href='http://denispombriant.wordpress.com/2010/01/21/sage-evolves-on-demand-services/' onclick='zTrkClick(this, &#039;8a7caa111aa3e7b1011aa7573cae00f1&#039;,&#039;8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3b5684730f5&#039;,&#039;402881e71da6b5e8011da6b634a70028&#039;,&#039;http&#037;3A&#037;2F&#037;2Fdenispombriant.wordpress.com&#037;2F2010&#037;2F01&#037;2F21&#037;2Fsage-evolves-on-demand-services&#037;2F&#039;);zwShowDetails(\"8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3b5684730f5\",\"8a7caa111aa3e7b1011aa7573cae00f1\");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(\"8a7caa111aa3e7b1011aa7573cae00f1\");zift_pc--;return false;'>Return to List<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/table><div id='zwInlineTitle' style='text-align:left;height:auto'><a href='http://www.channelinsider.com/c/a/Spotlight/Sage-Launches-New-Midmarket-Software-Suite-686231/' onclick='zTrkClick(this, &#039;8a7caa111aa3e7b1011aa7573cae00f1&#039;,&#039;8a7c9fef2693aa1e0126d3ad94182f7d&#039;,&#039;402881e71da6b5e8011da6b634a70028&#039;,&#039;http&#037;3A&#037;2F&#037;2Fwww.channelinsider.com&#037;2Fc&#037;2Fa&#037;2FSpotlight&#037;2FSage-Launches-New-Midmarket-Software-Suite-686231&#037;2F&#039;);' target='_blank' >Sage Launches New Midmarket Software Suite<\/a><span class='zwClear'><\/span><\/div><div class='zwContentExtra' id='extra_4'><span class='zwDate '>January 21, 2010<\/span><\/div><div class='zwContentText'><span class='zwInline'><strong>In an effort to strengthen the company&#039;s ability to meet the growing global needs of the midmarket, Sage also established new international management structures and expanded its partnership with global services company Logica.<\/strong><br/><br/><p>On the same day <a itxtdid=\"15558258\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"&#035;\" style=\"border-bottom: 0.075em solid darkgreen ! important; font-weight: normal ! important; font-size: 100&#037; ! important; text-decoration: underline ! important; padding-bottom: 1px ! important; color: darkgreen ! important; background-color: transparent ! important; background-image: none; padding-top: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; padding-left: 0pt;\" classname=\"iAs\" class=\"iAs\">ERP vendor<\/a> Sage unveiled the latest version of its midmarket solution suite, the company also debuted what it called a new &quot;approach&quot; to its midmarket business.
