Sage News and Discussion

Sage still on the acquisition trail ... let's just hope they don't acquire another healthcare division...

Sage is the only company I know who could acquire a company in the only sector of the economy that's healthy (other than Chinese money funded government sector) and screw it up.

<cough>* forums are open</cough>

To other like minded resellers?????

Good point. We are just one big happy family of resellers. I'll go see a doctor about that cough.

Be careful, it could be strep................

A SAS acquisition is a likely possibility.

British Special Forces?

Typo - SAAS. However, any acquisition in the N.A. will be carefully vetted. The N.A. market has been a drag on Sage and I 'm not holding my breath for anything soon on this side of the pond.

I was kidding.

I predict that all large acquisitions will be led by Sage UK. I think Sage North America lost their independence with the start of Sue Swenson. We just didn't know it until Sue retired and Pascal was sent over from Sage France. I'd be surprised if there are any large acquisitions that aren't global -- for example if they buy a SaaS provider (highly likely) I would bet that the product would have to service all the countries -- or at least be made to look like it could. There's a low likelihood that Sage will buy , for example, a SaaS product for US, Spain, UK, France, etc... Perhaps ERP X3 is suppose to be that SaaS product but I'm not sure that it can be.
