SCOTTSDALE, AZ -- (MARKET WIRE) -- October 25, 2006 -- Sage Software today announced that Sage CRM
SalesLogix has been recognized by VARBusiness magazine for outstanding
achievement in technology innovation and was named a winner in the
enterprise software category of the publication's Tech Innovators award
competition. Sage CRM SalesLogix was among nearly 700 entries submitted in
14 technology categories. VARBusiness magazine, which covers the business
of technology integration, honored Sage Software at an awards ceremony held
earlier this week in Huntington Beach, California.
"The constant feedback we seek from our business partners and customers to
drive continuous Sage CRM SalesLogix enhancement continues to pay
dividends," said Elvin Monteleone, senior vice president and general
manager for Sage Software Mid-Market CRM. "We strive to develop products
that help our partners differentiate their value-added services and provide
customers with significant business performance improvements. This honor
from VARBusiness is made possible by a strong partner network that
continuously supports our development efforts."
Products were judged in two stages including first-round examination by
VARBusiness' team of technology editors, and final selection by a panel of
judges assembled from the solution provider community. Judges scored
products on criteria including how new and improved a technology is, its
price/performance ratio and its revenue-generating potential for VARs.
"Innovations like what we've seen from Sage Software demonstrate the
vibrancy and vitality of the industry," says VARBusiness editor Lawrence M.
Walsh. "They represent breakthroughs that will benefit our
solution-provider readers and, in turn, the users of technology."
