Sage CRM Cloud Solution to Boost Local SME Business Information Management
SINGAPORE: 15 May 2012 – Sage Asia, a subsidiary of The Sage Group, plc, which is a FTSE 100 company and a leading global supplier of business management software and related products and service, today announced the launch of the Sage CRM Cloud in Singapore. This is an online, cloud-based CRM solution specially tailored for small to medium-sized companies.
With Rackspace’s new hybrid hosting technology – RackConnect – as its backbone, the solution delivers the reach, flexibility and rapid time-to-value of traditional Software as a Service (SaaS). Thus, empowering businesses to capitalise on the benefits of CRM in the cloud, allowing users to choose how, when and where they manage critical business information.
Sage CRM Cloud will be available in two editions – Professional and Essentials. Both solutions will leverage Rackspace’s flexible cloud resource and have been specifically designed to enable small and mid-sized companies to get started with an affordable yet well-featured and user-friendly CRM package that can grow and develop as they become more adept and confident in its use. The cloud-based solutions allow organisations to sign up for a trial and get instant access to the software, meaning that they can go live straight away.
Mr. Low Gee Sing, Managing Director of Sage Asia said, “Sage CRM provides an unrivalled gateway to CRM interactions and transforming levels of accessibility, information management and customer insight. Depending on their business needs, Sage customers have the choice and flexibility to choose using Sage CRM either via cloud or on-premise. They can start with Sage CRM on the cloud, and when their business requirement changes, move to an on-premise solution or, vice versa.
Implemented by over 12,000 organisations in 70 countries worldwide, Sage CRM is optimised specifically for small and medium business. Easy to use and quick to deploy in the cloud or on-premise, it delivers a rapid return on investment so businesses see a positive impact immediately.
Mr Low added, “We are confident that our local SMEs will find Sage CRM Cloud of great benefit, especially after seeing the successful implementation in Europe and other parts of the world. Sage CRM Cloud gives customers the flexibility, reliability, security and support to connect services and view their customer data in a way that best suits their needs now and in the future.”
