Sage is a name that is well known for its vast array of industry and functional software. The company - actually many companies acquired over the years - focuses on the small- and mid-size market, making a point of noting that it serves companies from sole proprietors to around 500 or so employees. The emphasis is on enterprise data, hence most of the products are ERP in nature.

With that in mind, the company's HR management system - Sage Abra HR - includes a comprehensive set of tools that can handle the administrative end of the employment life cycle. As you might expect, there's an ATS (branded as eRecruiter), onboarding, benefits management, payroll, training scheduling, and tracking tax and government compliance. What you won't find are the high-end strategic, c-level kind of tools such as workforce planning and forecasting. That's in keeping with the nature and size of the businesses Sage serves.

The section of the company that offers Sage Abra was founded in 1982, and offers an array of job-specific softwares: HR, fixed asset management, time tracking, and budgeting and planning. With the acquisition by its UK parent (www.sage.com) in February 2000, Sage Software is now part of a global family of software companies that together deliver business management solutions to more than 2,000,000 customers worldwide and is a key provider of services and software to small and medium businesses worldwide.

The UK-based parent company was founded and headquartered in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom in 1981, but now operates globally. In 1991 the company entered the U.S. market, followed by Europe in 1992. In 2001, operations extended to Australia and, in 2003, to South Africa. Since 2005, the company has operations in India and the Far East, including Malaysia, Singapore, and China.
