Sage announces key acquisition, product enhancements and strategic sport partnerships deal at Transform 2022
October 12 2022 - 09:00AM
Sage, the leader in accounting, financial, HR and payroll
technology for small and mid-sized businesses, has announced its
acquisition of carbon accounting solution Spherics, to help SMBs
measure and cut their emissions, at the flagship Sage Transform
customer event.
New product integration with Microsoft to continue simplifying
workflows for SMBs, expansion of Sage Intacct’s capabilities and
market reach, and an exciting new partnership with Major League
Baseball were also announced.
These announcements demonstrate Sage’s progress against its
strategy of becoming the trusted network for SMBs, by knocking down
barriers to productivity, efficiency, sustainability and helping
businesses to flow.
Spherics, a carbon accounting solution, aims to
help businesses easily understand and reduce their environmental
impact. The acquisition demonstrates Sage’s commitment to
sustainability and supporting SMBs to estimate the carbon footprint
generated by their business so they can take action to cut
it.
Further investments in scaling up Sage Intacct
will enable customers to automate processes, boost productivity and
free up time to focus on running their businesses. Among the
key Sage Intacct enhancements Sage announced expanding the solution
to France, new verticals and scaling existing capabilities that
will empower SMBs to simplify managing the complexities of their
business with greater insight and efficiencies.
At the same time, new product integration with
Microsoft will continue to simplify workflows for SMBs.
Customers can now take friction out of day-to-day tasks by
submitting and approving certain processes directly through Teams,
rather than in the Sage Intacct or Sage People application,
reducing the need to toggle between solutions. This means customers
can simply and securely approve expenses and review leave requests
via a Teams notification.
Following the successful sponsorship of The Hundred cricket in
the UK and the upcoming Rugby World Cup in France, Sage is now
partnering with Major League Baseball. The company
will be connected to pitching decisions and manager insights across
the league, starting from the 2023 regular season, including the
introduction of the Sage ‘Pitcher Power Rankings’. Sage will
also support the MLB’s Diverse Business
Partners Program, helping cultivate new opportunities
and business
growth for minority and female-owned
businesses across America.
The annual Sage Transform event is designed for the Sage Intacct
community of customers and partners and this year is taking place
in Orlando, Florida, from October 10-14 2022.
