The supply chain management specialist software house Sirona Technologies of Dublin has recently completed negotiations with Sage to become a Partner Developer Company and Reseller of their popular Line 50 range of financial management systems.

This new departure for Sirona Technologies will open up a new market in both Ireland and the UK for SIRONA their supply chain management and manufacturing system.

As Managing Director Alan Egan said, "The company's specialist knowledge and expertise is in the areas of Sales and Purchase Order Processing, Warehouse Management, Light Manufacturing and Mgmt Reporting / Analysis - for the medium to large enterprise. However we recognized some time ago a growing demand for SIRONA within SME companies that required a cost effective financial management system. A number of options were considered before deciding upon Sage. One major concern was that the product we adopted had to be a 'best of breed' solution. In addition it had to provide customers with a modern user interface as well as an array of excellent features and benefits. I'm pleased to say that the Sage products met these criteria very easily."

Mr Egan continued "The seamless integration of the Sage system within the SIRONA suite of software modules will undoubtedly open up a significant market for us and we are all looking forward to working with Sage to capitalise upon the opportunities in the months and years to come."
