-         Strengthen the capability of existing Partners in ERP and CRM as the main requirement is to develop domain expertise across verticals, offer quality consulting capability, and good implementation skills

-         Increasing focus on integrated ERP,CRM deals that entails special knowledge and skills for a Partner to accomplish an end to end solution

At Sage we believe in building a robust channel that has the necessary skills to ensure customers are satisfied with the investments they make. Likewise we are seeking alliances with those offering products that are aligned to us. An example here would be ‘Time & Attendance’ Device manufacturers as our Payroll product could be integrated and sold together to provide higher value to customers”
