Pinnacle Computing named as a Sage 'Strategic Partner'

Belfast-based Pinnacle Computing has been named as a Sage 'Strategic Partner' following a new initiative by Sage to strictly control its reseller network.

With four tiers in the reseller structure, which are guided by extremely tight criteria, the accolade is classified as Tier 1 and demands the highest-level of accreditation, capability and resources to implement and support large IT projects.

Ken Montgomery, Managing Director of the Pinnacle group, reaffirmed his commitment to providing local businesses with industry specific solutions. He said: "Pinnacle has invested heavily in its team over the past decade in order to reach the level of consultancy required to assist manufacturing, finance, service and distribution businesses translate their processes into a software solution.

"I am confident that Pinnacle will continue its high professionalism and consultative approach when implementing and supporting Sage Line 200 & Line 500 solutions. Pinnacle will continue to be critical in Sage's future success in this market."

Pinnacle Computing started nearly a decade ago as a Sage business partner, pulling in Northern Irish IT personnel to provide "highly specialised and tailored" Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions. The local company has steadily grown to over 50 employees and has set up offices in Dublin, Glasgow and Liverpool to support their 260-strong client base.

Sage (UK) is part of The Sage Group plc, the largest supplier of business management software and related products and services to SMEs in the world.

Formed in 1981, the Group was floated on the stock exchange in 1989, and now employs over 4,000 people in the UK, France, Germany, Portugal and the USA.
