Dresser & Associates Strategic Partners

Sage began not as one company, but as the efforts of many entrepreneurs who built their successful products and businesses with a sincere focus on their customers. Today, their company represents the culmination of that combined entrepreneurial spirit, drive, and vision.

For more than 30 years, companies that have joined the Sage family have assisted small and medium-sized businesses with a wide range of business management applications and services. With roots reaching back to the 1970s, their company has grown and developed to meet the evolving needs of their customers through a combination of internal product development and acquisition.

Currently Sage supports more than 2.4 million customers in the U.S. and Canada. Its sole focus is to provide business management software and services to small and medium-sized businesses.

To address their customers' needs, Sage markets its applications in two customer-focused divisions: Small Business and Mid-Market.
