Why Sage X3 is the Best Step Forward for Business Management Software Selection
In a previous article we revealed 4 things to consider before you start your business management software selection. Business management software is otherwise known as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). This is a system that will run all your busniness functions in an integated manner. To ensure your new ERP system implementation will be successful and meet your expectations, our experienced team of ERP consultants suggest you go through a rigorous selection process. This includes interviewing publishers of business management software to see which vendors offer the software that best meets your requirements. While most systems may not meet 100% of your requirements, we suggest you start your ERP selection process considering Sage X3.
7 Reasons to Start Your Business Management Software Selection with Sage X3
1. Simplicity with Deep Functionality
It’s important for your new ERP system is easy to learn and use for early adoption. Getting less complexity doesn’t mean you should have to settle for less functionality. Put together a list of key requirements, and you’ll find that Sage X3 supports them all in a simple, integrated design with deep and broad first-class functionality that’s simple to implement and use.
2. Integrated, Not Interfaced
You’ll soon realize that software integration doesn’t just mean applications that work together – it also means they exchange real-time information, share a common database and user interface, and, more importantly, evolve together. Many ERP systems hide functional gaps by offering a 'modular design,' which often requires custom interfaces and complex maintenance. Only Sage X3 gives you both rich and fully integrated functionality in all areas of your business, including accounting and financial management, purchasing, inventory, sales, customer relationship management, and manufacturing.

3. Scalability
Scalability means your ERP system can grow with your business, and Sage X3's integrated design offers all the functions you need now and all the functions you’ll need in the future – simply activate the functions as you need them. The system is also flexible and can be parameterized to fit your organization's changes, scaling up to more than 2,000 users. You can rely on Sage X3 to help you grow.
4. Web-native, not Web-enabled
Web-native means your system can be accessed the same way in both client/server and web mode. Some ERP systems offer a customized web connection to dedicated functions, but few offer the ability to operate the system locally or through the web in the identical fashion. Think of the advantage you could have with this advanced communicative architecture when expanding your business over multiple sites or when considering developing relationships with premier suppliers, partners, or customers.
5. Multi-country by Design
Global trade requires global tools. Sage X3 is available in ten languages and legislations, allowing users to access the system in their own language wherever they are, and the country-specific parameters, such as legal and market requirements, are centralized to offer a single global solution. Sage X3 makes it easy to share common data and processes between different foreign sites or subsidiaries while respecting usage and business rules. When selecting an ERP, keep in mind that more than 3,000 companies worldwide use Sage X3 – that’s more than 53 countries and 165,000 users.
6. Low Cost of Ownership
Along with functionality and ease of use, cost of ownership might be among your first selection criteria – and of course all ERP vendors claim that their solution offers the best return on investment. But when it comes to the total cost of YOUR project, other systems won’t be as inexpensive as you thought, as your company might require more services to customize the solution. Sage X3, however, is built to dramatically reduce the time of implementation and customization while providing most of the advanced features you need as standard – because reducing the cost from implementation forward is the best way to guarantee a faster return on investment.
7. Commitment to Success, not Loyalty Programs
How much time have you spent arguing to get support from well-known software vendors?
