Since 2014, Sage Software has seen an 85% growth in subscription*, which can be attributed to two major factors: the offering of cutting edge software solutions (including Sage 100c and Sage 300c) and the attuned efforts of partners in illustrating the value of new technology to customers.

Furthermore, Sage's range of subscription ERP software gives users the opportunity to benefit from the software without having to purchase the software licensing upfront.

"We're thrilled to receive this prestigious award from Sage," explains Craig Elander, Director of Customer Management. "It's a result of our team embracing Sage 300c as an elite product in the mid-market space. The hybrid cloud approach of Sage 300c allows customers to adopt new technology at their own pace.
