The Inixion approach
Implementing Sage X3 is about more than choosing the right ERP software. How it is configured around your processes, people and priorities has a significant impact on the value it delivers. At Inixion, we start by understanding how your business works, where improvements can be made and what you need Sage X3 to achieve – then use our experience to shape a solution around those requirements.
That approach is particularly important for businesses with complex processes and industry-specific requirements. Our experience across manufacturing, distribution and other demanding sectors means we understand the challenges your business faces and how Sage X3 can be applied to address them.
What are the benefits of Sage X3?
Sage X3 brings finance, operations, manufacturing and supply chain processes together in one ERP system, helping growing and complex organisations manage their business more effectively. Interactive business process maps, a powerful workflow engine and real-time dashboards provide greater visibility across operations, while flexible deployment options and access from anywhere, on any device, make Sage X3 a flexible and intuitive solution for managing your business.
Is Sage X3 cloud based?
Sage X3 provides great flexibility, as it can be deployed in the cloud or on-premises; whatever works best for your business. We will work with you to determine which deployment option is right for you.
What about Sage X3 Version 12?
Sage X3 Version 12 remains the current product generation, with regular releases adding new functionality and platform enhancements. Businesses can continue to run X3 using existing deployment models or consider the newer Sage-managed SaaS option as part of their longer-term cloud strategy.
Our team can help you determine the right deployment approach for your business, taking into account your existing Sage X3 environment, infrastructure, security requirements and future plans.
