History

Sage X3 has had a long history with many acquisitions, rebranding exercises and several years of development. Sage X3 started life in a small French company called SPEMI. In the early days, X3 was built for use on SORD computers but due to Toshiba acquiring SORD, the decision was made by SPEMI to build their future applications on UNIX OS. This decision gave birth to Adonix Enteprise V2 which covered accounting, distribution and payroll.

With international ambitions, ADONIX launched into new markets in 1997 and soon after acquired PRODSTAR and their product, Prodstar 2 which added manufacturing capabilities to the ADONIX platform. 

In 2005, Adonix was acquired by British software vendor, Sage and the product was renamed to Sage X3. Today, Sage X3 boasts more than 7,000 customers worldwide.

Deployment Options

Sage X3 can be deployed as both an On-Premise solution through perpetual licensing or as a Cloud ERP solution with an annual subscription cost.

The Sage X3 Cloud solution also comes in two flavours, Single-Tenant or multitenant. Single Tenant offers more flexibility and control over the system, data and wider access to customization options and third party extension. On the other hand the multitenant offers greater standardization, reducing software and IT maintenance costs whilst also reducing licensing costs.
