How to choose?

How do you make a decision?

In any purchasing decision, we logically go through a process to evaluate and ensure that we make the best possible decision. This goes from the smallest to the largest of purchases. For example, if you would be purchasing a new house, you would look at the suitability of the layout to your living requirements, the track record and quality of the developer, location and accessibility. For software solutions, the requirements might not be that different.

Always, a proven vendor

When you are looking for a business solution for your important business, you should always choose the ones that are suitable for you and with proven results.

Be aware of operational requirements

A product does not stand by itself, it requires human resources to operate it as well as an eco-system to support its optimal operation. Imagine your automobile; it requires qualified engineers to maintain and service it periodically, as well as other required expertise such as tyre maintenance and experts to keep your vehicle running safely on the road. Sage with its 9 service centres; over 50 partners; and 400 associates across the country, there is bound to someone just around the corner that can attend to your needs.

In addition to the above, Sage together with our education partners have also churned out over 100,000 certified students on our products into the workforce in Malaysia. This is in addition to the over 500,000 commercial users of our products over the last 20 years. It should be convenient to find a resource that is skilled on a Sage product and as well a great resource to help your business grow.

Finding the right fit

Trying to push a square peg into a round hole is just not doing it right. There are various solutions for various requirements, never a one size fits all situation, therefore you should be very clear if the solution is designed to fit your current requirements in your business. Sometimes over-sizing or under-sizing and taking something just because it is on discount or cheaper is not necessarily a good decision. 

At Sage, we have packaged our solutions to cater from start-ups to large businesses, each level addressing different business requirements. At the same time, consideration is also given to the challenges that you face whilst you are at a certain size of a business. For example, when you are a start-up you would not likely have a full-time payroll executive or HR manager therefore you would want something easy, fast and meets your most basic requirement at the most reasonable price. However, when you grow towards a medium or large company you want more human resource features to manage your vast number of employees. 

A simple choice

As much as you would not want to buy an unknown and unbranded mobile phone today, you would not want to choose an unknown, unproven business software for your business. It is not only because of the brand, but the knowledge and assurance that you have a supplier that is thinking much more than short-term, just like you for your business. A partnership.

We hope that we have helped you at a minimum level to construct a good understanding of what it takes to make the right choice and wish you well in your selection process. We do believe that Sage is the top choice of a proven and trusted solutions provider, and should you have further inquiries feel free to contact us for more information.
