Sage ERP Africa has announced that Sage ERP X3 version 7 is now available in Nigeria. The latest version of Sage ERP’s global business management solution for midsized companies includes a range of enhancements that address Nigerian companies’ challenges of winning new customers, reducing operating costs and growing revenue.

New features include an entirely redesigned Web and mobile experience that ensures employees have access to the information they need wherever they are. This makes Sage ERP X3 Version 7 a great fit for the Nigerian market, where smart device penetration is high and people are always on the move.

“For Nigerian companies struggling with legacy systems or even manual processes, the biggest challenge is getting access to the accurate, timely data they need to make good business decisions,” says Keith Fenner, senior vice-president of sales – Sage ERP X3 AAMEA. “Sage ERP X3 version 7 gives Nigerian enterprises the quality information they need to better manage their businesses and grow their profits and revenues.”

Simplifying the management of complex business processes across the organization, Sage ERP X3 version 7 provides users with personal dashboards and intelligence tools, allowing them to monitor performance, serve customers better and be notified of events that require attention, when and where it is needed.

Sage ERP X3 version 7 is a robust platform with many features associated with expensive, top-tier ERP solutions. For example, it allows companies to configure complex, multiple reporting structures in a single instance of the software and provides analytical pyramid functionality for cross-analysis of aggregated data.

This means the software is suitable for even the most demanding Nigerian enterprises in the oil and gas, utilities, engineering and government sectors.

Fenner notes that another advantage of Sage ERP X3 version 7 comes from the fact that allows companies to run their subsidiaries in different countries off a single instance of the software. This means that they can reduce cost of ownership and improve visibility into their finances across all their operations.

This also means that Sage ERP X3 version 7 supports Nigerian companies as they expand into new markets by making it faster and affordable to business solutions get up-and-running without expensive software and infrastructure costs.

“Sage ERP X3 version 7 helps Nigerian companies adopt best practices and processes in their businesses, automate processes, comply with tax and other regulations, and improve collaboration throughout their enterprises,” adds Fenner.

“It also gives them the control and scalability they need as they evolve and expand in response to the dynamic African economy. Many Nigerian companies will also be enthusiastic about our payroll and HR modules as they focus on streamlining human resource management.”

The redesigned Sage ERP X3 version 7 also features a host of new usability improvements, including a new intuitive Web and mobile interface based on HTML5 that supports common browsers and that is highly customisable for users. Version 7 offers a variety of apps and comes with a mobility development kit, compatible with iOS, Windows Phone and most Android devices.
