“Sage ERP X3 v6 has been built around the user and we have placed great emphasis on ensuring it can adapt to the way each user works. Too often ERP users have had to adapt to the way their applications work but our vision is for customers to have a completely personalized experience, where they can tailor Sage ERP X3 to their exact needs.

In just minutes any individual or team in the extended enterprise can build their own personalized workplace dashboard where they can manage all of their real-time feeds, ERP tools and status reports, activity feeds, social networks, email, documents and much more – all in one place.
“As we enter the real-time era, modern information workers are struggling to manage an ever growing myriad of feeds, updates, news searches and new enterprise tools. It’s an endless and fatiguing cycle of checking email, searching for files, switching between applications and catching up with the latest news,” said Freddy Mini, CEO, Netvibes. “Sage Enterprise Webtop TM is the first user personalized enterprise dashboard solution that promises to deliver the right tools and the right information to the right people at exactly the right time, to break this fatigue cycle and boost productivity, by combining Netvibes personalization technology with the power of Sage ERP X3.”

- Internal Teams: Offer personalized HR dashboards, where employees can access and manage benefits, view company news and much more. Create team dashboards for sales teams where each user can manage customers and prospects, track sales targets and manage everyday team communications and status updates.
