What Our Members Say

• Sage User Network offers me a forum where I can
  comment and question independently of my reseller
  or Sage. Where I can become part of a collective
  voice that will have a direct link to Sage to
  offer constructive comments for improvements
  within the Sage range of products.  That
  collective voice will have a greater effect that
  any one of us individually. The bigger the
  membership the bigger the voice..
• Chris Szewc, PartnerTech Ltd
• As members of Sage User Network we have direct
  access into Sage thinking and the direction of
  their product development, which helps us with
  our own company IT strategy.
• Philip Palser, Scientific Chemical Supplies Ltd
