What SGE does
Sage Group sells application software aimed at businesses that are too small for enterprise systems but need more than basic tools. Its offerings cover accounting, payroll, HR and broader business management, mostly delivered as cloud services. In that sense it competes in the same broad technology space as other software-focused companies such as Computacenter (CCC), though Sage's focus is specifically on small and medium business software rather than IT services.
