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…..”
