Sage has announced the launch of its new AI Developer Solutions, changing how partners and ISVs innovate on the Sage Platform.
The first phase of the programme launches with Sage Intacct, with future expansion across Sage’s product portfolio.
The company will integrate certified third-party AI Agents directly into the Sage Copilot experience, enabling partners to build and deploy specialised AI workflows that elevate human work.
“This is the next step in Sage’s Platform journey,” says Aaron Harris, chief technology officer of Sage. “We are giving our partners the ability to build with Sage intelligence at their core. Together we can accelerate innovation for millions of small and mid-sized businesses, bringing AI Agents out of the lab and into the real workflows where they’ll make the biggest impact.”
Empowering SMBs through an open ecosystem
The new Sage AI Developer Solutions introduces a curated, secure, and governed ecosystem where trusted partners can create certified advanced AI capabilities and AI Agents that enhance automation, integration, insight, and decision-making for Sage customers. The goal is to accelerate innovation while maintaining the highest standards of trust, quality, compliance, and data protection and meeting the specific business needs of its customers.
Powered by the Sage AI Gateway
At the centre of the initiative is the Sage AI Gateway, built on Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and Representational State Transfer (REST) APIs. Together, these components enable the creation of AI extensions that securely interact with and integrate seamlessly into Sage’s core products.
The Intacct AI Gateway, the MCP server will enable intelligent orchestration by allowing multiple agents to coordinate tasks, handle planning, instantly retrieve information and generate useful insights. Built on top of Sage Intacct REST APIs, the MCP server allows third-party built AI solutions to be more effective and provide increased customer value.
Expanding the developer strategy
Sage Active, Sage’s flagship AI-first cloud suite for Europe, represents the next step in this strategy.
Built for scale and designed to embed intelligent workflows across every aspect of a customer’s business, its open APIs create a scalable ecosystem where developers can design advanced, tailored solutions.
As part of Sage’s unified AI Developer Solutions, Sage Active will progressively evolve to support agentic and Model Context Protocol (MCP) capabilities, enabling partners to build vertical AI Agents and advanced automations as these capabilities roll out.
By unifying quotes, invoicing, accounting, payroll, and HR into a single cloud-native suite, it provides partners with a modern go-to-market engine that helps small and mid-sized businesses adopt new capabilities with confidence.
Collaboration with AWS
Sage is collaborating initially with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to build agents with select partners. This capability will soon expand for partners to build agents with across additional environment while leveraging the Sage platform and documentation for a seamless Copilot experience.
By utilising Amazon Bedrock, Sage and its partners gain access to advanced Large Language Models (LLMs) which can be securely connected to Sage MCPs and REST APIs.
