Sage, a leader in accounting, financial, HR, and payroll technology for small and mid-sized businesses, has been named a leader in this year’s IDC MarketScape: Worldwide AI-Enabled PSA (Professional Services Automation) and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) Applications Vendor Assessment.
This prestigious recognition underscores Sage's pioneering work in integrating advanced AI capabilities to fundamentally transform finance and operations for SMBs. As businesses increasingly seek to reduce manual workflows, Sage is directly addressing this critical demand by embedding cutting-edge AI into its PSA and ERP solutions.
With AI adoption accelerating across finance and operations, organizations are looking for ways to reduce manual work and improve accuracy. Sage research shows that tasks such as bank reconciliation and accessing financial insights remain time-intensive for many SMBs, with up to a quarter (24%) of workflow activities still completed manually. This is driving growing interest in AI tools that can streamline admin and support processes, enabling faster, more confident decision-making.
These findings reinforce the growing demand for connected systems that integrate Professional Services Automation (PSA) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) with AI built in, supporting faster, more efficient ways of working across both project delivery and financial management.
"It’s great to see Sage recognized as a Leader by IDC MarketScape,” said Dan Miller, EVP, Financials & ERP, Sage. “Our focus is on giving mid-sized organizations AI that actually helps them – saving time, improving accuracy, and surfacing insights they can act on quickly. This acknowledgement reflects the progress of our AI and agent strategy, and the results we’re seeing as customers use Sage Intacct to run higher-performing operations.”
According to the IDC MarketScape, “Sage Intacct's AI strategy spans PSA and ERP together, bringing more capabilities and functionalities. With AI enabled all along the life-cycle journey, it also incorporates intelligent time and GL anomaly detection and has an optional project intelligence for proactive portfolio health and margin analytics.”
Not only does the IDC MarketScape report specifically commend Sage Intacct's "unified AI strategy across PSA and ERP" and its "strong roadmap for AI agents," but it also commends Sage's focus on building trust and transparency into its AI experiences.
“AI-enabled PSA and ERP systems are becoming essential as organizations look to eliminate manual processes and improve how they deliver projects and manage finances,” said Mickey North Rizza, Group VP, Enterprise Software at IDC. “Sage is recognized for its unified AI strategy across PSA and ERP, strong roadmap for AI agents, and focus on building trust and transparency into its AI experiences.”
Sage continues to enhance its AI capabilities through a growing network of agents that automate routine work across finance and operations. These include agents that support close management, accounts payable, time capture, and assurance, as well as the recently introduced Finance Intelligence Agent, which helps teams surface insights more quickly and act with greater confidence.
This recognition is a strong validation of Sage’s ongoing commitment to reducing administrative burdens, enhancing accuracy, and empowering high-performance finance teams.
