| | April 20186CIOReviewThis year, Sage's universal agenda will be to elevate more businesses into the cloud. Recent findings by IDC, the market intelligence firm say that by 2020, over 90 percent of enterprises will use multiple cloud services and platforms. Things could not have come at a better time for Sage, the global ERP software leader that operates in 23 countries, providing solutions for start-ups and enterprises alike. Last October, Sage launched the Sage Business Cloud product, which takes holistic business management to a new level, covering everything from accounting to advanced financial management and industry-specific enterprise management. Sage believes that with the fourth industrial revolution taking shape from idea to practice, they have their "foot on the gas and are ready to meet the needs."With a total addressable market worth $27 billion, made up of 82 million businesses, Sage's cloud annual recurring revenue amounted to 78 percent of its total revenue, last year. This means that almost all of its income is from the areas including maintenance, subscription and renewal, further emphasizing the growing acceptance of subscription-based business models by its customers.Following its efforts made last year toward what is called people science, Sage will be continuing its work in that direction--pushing the envelope to accommodate the incoming Generation Z. Covering all bases, Sage has it all, from accounting to financial management, business management, to advanced and automated HR and more functions. In an effort to help businesses, especially startups and SMBs make the right move, CIOReview has come up with its annual special edition on Sage. We have curated a list of solution providers who add value to the Sage portfolio of products.Let us know your thoughts!Jeevan George Managing Editoreditor@cioreview.comCIOReviewAPRIL - 16 - 2018SAGE SPECIAL Editorial StaffSalesCarolynn WaltersJoe PhilipShirley FaithMerlin WatsonSam EricssonAkanksha MinzKatherine Joneskatherine@cioreview.comVisualizersAsher BlakeSudhin ThomasManaging EditorJeevan GeorgeEditorialThe Opportunity to AccelerateCopyright © 2018 ValleyMedia, Inc.
