Software specialist Eureka Solutions based in East Kilbride, near Glasgow has been selected as a Platinum Partner for Sage 50 Accounts and Sage ACT! by the leading business software and services provider Sage UK. Launched in January, Sage’s Platinum Partners Scheme recognises and rewards those leading Business Partners that provide outstanding customer service, adopt a fully collaborative approach to joint business planning and achieve strong sales performance. As a Platinum Partner, Eureka Solutions will benefit from new levels of support from Sage in the form of access to valuable sales and marketing tools and assets, dedicated account management support, as well as marketing advice and guidance, which will empower the company to achieve business growth and deliver an improved experience to its customers.
Emphasising the value that FTSE 100 company Sage puts on its relationship with its business partners Steve Attwell, General Manager for Sage’s Lower Mid Market and Channel Division commented: “Our Business Partners are immensely important to us and companies such as Eureka Solutions are leading the way in their field. The launch of our Sage Platinum Partners programme is testimony to our continued commitment to delivering value add and we are confident that it will deliver significant mutual benefit for Sage, our Business Partners and ultimately our customers too.”
Alistair Livingstone, Managing Director at Eureka Solutions said: “At Eureka Solutions our focus is on delivering outstanding customer service and technical expertise. Being awarded Platinum Partner status is further testament to our commitment in these areas and we are delighted to gain this level of recognition from Sage.”
Sage ACT! is the number one selling Contact and Customer Manager with over 3 million users worldwide. It is a business productivity tool that’s more powerful than e-mail systems and spreadsheets, but easier to use, faster to get up and running, and less costly than a CRM solution. To help make the most of this information, Sage ACT! integrates with social media sites, such as LinkedIn®, Facebook, Google Maps™, to build a richer picture of customers and prospects. Sage ACT! helps to develop long-lasting, profitable relationships so existing customers keep coming back and new customer referrals keep coming in.
Sage 50 Accounts empowers small businesses to effectively manage every aspect of their finances, enabling them to accurately keep track of cash flow, invoice customers, pay suppliers, submit VAT returns and prepare year end accounts. It contains a host of inbuilt measures designed to reduce human error and allow businesses to gain an instant view of their accounts information on a minute by minute basis and take greater control of their finances.
Sage’s Platinum Partner programme will continue to evolve following its launch this month, and over time it will develop further to incorporate a range of new and timely benefits for member partners.
Having been in the business of implementing Business/CRM/ERP Systems for many years, reporting has always been the poor relation of implementation. Basically once the system is in, attention turns to reports. It is usually defined as ‘What reports do you want’, i.e. they are created reactively by the client telling us what reports they want.
