Sage Acquires HR Solution from Fairsail
Sage has announced an agreement to purchase Fairsail – an HR and payroll management solution also referred to as a Human Capital Management (HCM) platform.
According to a press release on the Fairsail website, The Sage Group plc ("Sage") is currently a minority shareholder. However with the acquisition, Sage will take full ownership of Fairsail, building on the success of a shared product, Sage People, launched last year.
Built on the enterprise cloud platform, Salesforce App Cloud, Sage People delivers functionality that covers core HR needs, such as people management, compensation, benefits, and time management as well as payroll, talent acquisition and management, and HR planning.
Not only does the Fairsail acquisition also build on Sage’s partnership with Salesforce, it serves to form part of a so-called “Golden Triangle” strategy that has Sage offering customers a single cloud solution to manage people and payroll, payments, and accounting.

Sage recently launched the Sage Foundation’s Enterprise Fund, which has a pool of $1 million and is open to nonprofits with enterprise ideas that help improve the lives of military veterans, young people or women and girls. The Fund was introduced at last year’s Sage Summit with the goal of getting the company’s colleagues, partners and customers involved in “a common vision for change.”
The $1 million will be split between two rounds of $500,000 with grants between $5,000 and $35,000 awarded to successful applicants. Applications for the first round are open until April 5 while funds for the second will be ready for release in July 2017.
"Supporting this thriving community of grassroots charities and non-profits is important to Sage," said Nancy Harris, EVP, Sage North America. "We believe some of the brightest, most innovative ideas come about when the local communities come together for the common good. Sage Foundation's Enterprise Fund will help these organizations take action on vital projects that create a better future."
