Announcement posted by ACCPAC 14 May 2004

More than 50 ISV applications now available for ACCPAC CRM
Sydney, 14 May 2004 ACCPAC Australia Pacific Inc., a part of The Sage Group family of companies, has announced the availability in Australia of more than 50 add-on applications developed by independent software vendors (ISVs) for its ACCPAC CRM customer relationship management software. More than 70 ISVs have committed to providing enhancement solutions or customising ACCPAC CRM for specific industries since the ACCPAC CRM Development Partner Program was launched locally in October 2003.
"Software developers are teaming with us because they understand that combining ACCPAC CRM with their applications and, at the same time, gaining access to our large, global channel is a tremendous opportunity for them to substantially grow their businesses," said ACCPAC Senior Vice President, Australia Pacific, Daithi Holden. "The result is that both ACCPAC and our business partners are able to provide more robust solutions to more and more customers - the ultimate beneficiaries."
ACCPAC CRM ISV applications include tour management, service operations management, student tracking systems, apparel solutions, professional services time and billing management, customer reward solutions, property management solutions, voice-based sales force systems, performance management, and others.
ACCPAC has been extending the power and flexibility of ACCPAC CRM to serve broader markets through both internal development and cooperative development with ISVs in the ACCPAC CRM Development Partner Program. The ACCPAC CRM Development Partner Program is unique because it enables ISVs to work with not only the ACCPAC CRM application, but through it, the other ACCPAC end-to-end applications such as accounting, human resources, warehouse management, e-commerce, and point of sale as well as hundreds of modules from more than 400 ACCPAC Development Partners.
Through these combined solutions, ACCPAC and its development partners are able to optimise the degree of fit and the magnitude of success that clients can experience with their CRM system.
ACCPAC CRM Development Partners have the opportunity to significantly expand their business through the benefits of this program. Benefits include:
SDK and Documentation: ACCPAC provides a software development kit and comprehensive documentation.
Marketing: ACCPAC works with each partner closely to help define and support the value proposition for the customer and provide marketing opportunities to the ACCPAC reseller channel.
