Kuala Lumpur, October 9th 2020 – Sage, the market leader in cloud business management solutions has been recognised as the 2020 Malaysia Financial Accounting Software Vendor and 2020 Malaysia ERP Software Vendor of the Year by global research and consulting firm, Frost and Sullivan. This is the third consecutive year Sage has been recognised by Frost & Sullivan for its best-in-class software and contribution to industry best practices.
A push for digital adoption across businesses has never been more crucial with the Malaysia Government’s short term economic recovery plan (PENJANA) allocating more than RM 700 million for SMEs (Small Medium Enterprises) and MTCs(Mid-Tier Companies) to adopt digital transformation, in a bid to help local businesses through the COVID-19 downturn.
“It’s been an extremely challenging year. The pandemic has disrupted businesses globally but has also given them an impetus to invest in and realise the value of digital tools.
"As organisations everywhere adjust to this ‘next normal’, business recovery and re-innovation globally will depend on their ability to increase productivity and stay agile, to stay alert to new opportunities and to adapt to them. For that, digital tools will be essential,” said Arlene Wherrett, Vice President & Managing Director, Sage Asia.
She continued, “Receiving a Frost & Sullivan award for both the Financial Accounting Software and ERP Software Vendor of the Year attests to the value Sage brings to customers and partners.”
