In 1981, David Goldman founded Sage. He worked with a team of Newcastle University students in the UK to develop software to automate his business —and realized other businesses could benefit from this too. In 1998, Sage came to North America with the acquisition of leading desktop accounting software, Peachtree.

Today, Sage has 13,000 employees and serves over three million customers in 23 countries across mainland Europe, Africa, Australia, Asia, and Latin America. In 2017, Sage acquired Intacct and Fairsail.

Intacct was designed to work with companies that provide knowledge services, personal services and intellectual property. Example industries or business types include: Financial Services, franchise, hospitality and entertainment, nonprofit or NGO organizations, professional services firms and companies that offer products through subscription or SaaS.

Accounting software packages only handle the individual business function of accounting, whereas an ERP application handles the entire range of business functions of an organization including: Finance, Human Resources, Sales, Marketing and more. ERP systems are built with the understanding that transactions occur across a broad range of business workflows whereas accounting software is simply the collection point for transactions.
