Sage announces Circle of Excellence

Sage's largest partner, Datel, tops customer services league

Kudos: Sage claims Circle of Excellence status will secure higher sales

Sage has selected its inner circle of 15 partners for the next 12 months based on how they were rated by 24,000 of its customers.

Sage’s largest UK partner, Datel, topped the business software vendor’s Circle of Excellence standings for the third time in five years based on how likely customers were to recommend them to others.

CPiO and Solutions for Accounting were placed second and third respectively, with

DMC, Pinnacle Comp­uting and FD Systems among the others to get the nod.
Graeme Edwards, head of commercial marketing at Sage’s Mid Market Division, said the kudos attached to the badge would boost the sales of those included.

“Our top partners will continue to grow,” he said. “Others that do not provide such a fantastic customer service may not see that growth.”

ESPI is the only business partner to have featured every year since the Circle of Excellence was launched six years ago.
