The ERP software, which has been running its trade for near three decades, is availing its Business Cloud Payroll Professional in key African markets. The cloud-based solution will see medium-sized companies process payroll functions in a secure and seamless manner.
This is not the first time Sage is innovating around payroll services. The company has been rallying its products, which are primarily based on the need to automate payroll activities and the benefits associated with automation. In addition, it is worth noting that the latest announcement from the company supplements its product strategy in the African market, where it hopes to help companies scale up and hone their accounting, payments and HR needs.
Sage, which is currently hosting a one-on-one experience with businesses and media personalities in Nairobi says that the new solution is integrated with robust migration tools and dependable support team that should help companies transition their payroll services to the cloud.
