Business management software and services firm Sage has launched the next generation of its global mid-market enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution ERP X3 version 7.

“The market-leading solution has been completely overhauled to ensure the best user experience online and on mobile devices,” says Sage in a statement.

Features include a new web interface based on HTML5 which supports multiple browsers and user personalisation. Version 7 also offers mobile access and a host of web apps, as well as Microsoft Office integration and a search function.

"Sage research shows that mid-market businesses have three clear priorities: winning new customers, reducing operating costs and growing revenue. Sage ERP X3 version 7 has been redesigned to address these key challenges with a host of new features that help mid-sized businesses," says Sage ERP Africa managing director, Jeremy Waterman.

Further features of the software include an “at-a-glance dashboard over the whole company, offering insight and intelligence when and where it is needed via a responsive user experience.”

Jayne Archbold, director of strategy and corporate communications at Sage Mid-Market and Sage ERP X3, said: "Research commissioned by Sage in Europe and North America shows that mid-market companies with improved data accessibility, quality, intelligence, and usability can expect a net gain of 35% more in incremental revenue year-over- year than lower performing companies. That's roughly $980,000 incremental revenue a year on average for a company earning $42M annually in gross revenue."
