In this article, we'll answer a question that so many Sage customers have asked ... does Sage Enterprise Management (Formerly known as Sage X3) have the features and capability to comply with the Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) Act?

Recently, we saw the launch of Sage eCommerce for Sage 300cloud (formerly "Sage 300c") and Sage Enterprise Management (Formerly "Sage X3").  Sage eCommerce represents the latest connected service added to the collection of cloud-based applications that work hand-in-hand with your core ERP system.  Here's a closer look at what this new integrated eCommerce platform brings to the table.

A recent release of Sage X3 improved efficiency of the financial management process by automatically generating the transaction matching open items or unbalanced operations when importing bank statements (MT940).  In this article, we’ll take a closer look at this new functionality that is available as of Sage X3 Version 11.

Most companies won’t quite be ready to close the books before starting to post new transactions in 2018. That’s where the Year End Simulation feature in Sage X3 can come in handy.

It's used in cases where the previous fiscal year must remain open for a period of time into the new year. Performing a year-end simulation will roll forward the ending balances for the Balance Sheet accounts without creating the closing journal entries or permanently closing the Fiscal Year.

By simulating the close, monthly statements will include the correct opening balances until the previous Fiscal Year is ready to be closed and retained earnings calculated.

With the release of Sage X3 Version 11, a new Production Scheduler was introduced in the product, replacing the previous feature called Manufacturing Scheduler or Gantt module.  In this article, we’ll take a look at this new planning and scheduling component of Sage X3.

Sage X3 Version 11 has been released and it’s packed with some great new functionality including a new project management module, production scheduler in manufacturing, financial management enhancements, and new options for industry-specific complementary solutions and connected apps.

​Let’s take a closer look at the best new features.

Earlier this year, Sage commissioned Forrester Consulting - an independent global research firm - to conduct a Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study of Sage X3.  The results are in, showing that a composite company running Sage X3 experienced a 177% Return on Investment (ROI) from over $1.7M in cost savings over 3 years.  Here's a look at both the study methodology and results.

​With the recent announcement that Sage X3 is now available in the cloud, it seems that technology is really changing the way that business gets done. Here’s a look at why companies are moving to the cloud to build their business without the up-front cost of technology infrastructure and IT staff. 

​These days, software manages everything from sales, customers, and inventory, to accounting, operations, and HR.
