Sage Sessions Madrid: from nothing to everything, through the cloud
Posted: Tue Dec 17, 2024 8:06 am
How do you combine the mischief of a cabaret performance, the scatology at 8,800 meters above sea level with accounting and invoicing programs and the imminent arrival of the GDPR , and also have fun? Well, leave it to Sage, the largest developer of management software for companies of all sizes, and you will have it.
On Thursday, March 15, #SageSessions stopped in Madrid , the most multitudinous event in southern Europe ( 1,500 professionals came to the Municipal Congress Palace), bringing together technology, “business builders”, freelancers, SMEs, professional offices, channel partners and many tweets in the social conversation.
The multi-talented Alex O'Dogherty was the master of ceremonies and dared to put music to cybersecurity, financing, e-commerce, consulting and 'from zero to hero', the voice of the heroes of the economy. “We live in a world out of a movie, even in business. Because that's the only way I can explain such incredible stories of “#BusinessBuilders” who could star in their own epic,” says the actor. “Dreaming is free, setting up a business in a basement not so much; if not, ask Steve Jobs. Entrepreneurship is sweating hard, leaving your skin and brains to create business ideas that succeed and, with a bit of luck, being in the right place and time to rise to the top. Who knows if today we will have the idea of our life to turn it into the business of the year !”
Uploading business to the cloud
Sage had an important announcement for the insurance email list occasion: the deployment of its recently launched Sage Business Cloud platform , the ultimate opportunity to take your business to the cloud , regardless of the size of the business or the sector of activity, helping SMEs to enter into digitalization. The British manufacturer is simply reproducing an increasingly unstoppable trend: the cloud software market is growing at a rate of 17% , five times higher than the traditional on-premise license.
“Once again, Sage Sessions is the benchmark technology event for small and medium-sized businesses. A day to share experiences and evolve in the digitalisation of the business with the help of the best experts,” says Luis Pardo , CEO and executive vice president of Sage Iberia since 2014. “ Companies face the challenge of adapting to the new digital environment to continue making the development of their businesses a reality, and with Sage Business Cloud managing all areas of the business from a single place is extremely simple, and in this way, business builders can focus on growing their businesses and creating jobs, which is what is truly important.”
At Sage Sessions, the British company presented its strategy for Spanish SMEs to make the definitive leap to cloud applications . “We face a complex and variable environment, but there is something that does not change and that is the backbone of our day-to-day work: the customer must always be at the centre of our decisions,” says Luis Pardo . “Precisely, and thanks to the fact that we talk to them thousands of times a day, we know what the main challenges are for Spanish SMEs to grow ; and, together, we want to tackle one of the main ones: digital transformation . Although most are aware that we are facing a revolutionary change, with no turning back, there are many companies that are moving more slowly than desirable in this area.”
Hence the need to organise meetings such as Sage Sessions: to pave the way and communicate confidence. In this digital revolution, there is no room for rigid solutions, no need to buy powerful equipment, no need to have departments full of highly qualified staff, no need to undergo complicated updates or have to stop to add new modules.
