History
1981 to 2000
The company was founded by David Goldman, Paul Muller, and Graham Wylie in 1981 in Newcastle upon Tyne, to develop estimating and accounting software for small businesses.[7]
A student at Newcastle University, Graham Wylie, took a summer job with an accountancy firm funded by a government small business grant to write software to help their record keeping. This became the basis for Sage Line 50. Next, hired by David Goldman to write some estimating software for his printing company, Campbell Graphics, Graham used the same accounting software to produce the first version of Sage Accounts. David was so impressed that he hired Graham and academic Paul Muller to form Sage, selling their software first to printing companies, and then to a wider market through a network of resellers.[8]
In 1984, the company launched Sage software, a product for the Amstrad PCW word processor, which used the CP/M operating system. Sage software sales escalated in that year from 30 copies a month to over 300. The company was first listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1989.
In 1991, Sage acquired Dac Software, Inc., a pioneering American accounting software developer, from Insilco Corporation who were undergoing bankruptcy reorganization at the time. Dac Software were well known for their DacEasy software suite, which was one of the first integrated accounting software titles to retail for well under $100, when most of its competitors sold suites with equivalent functionality for thousands of US$.[9]
In 1994, Paul Walker was appointed Chief Executive. In 1998, Sage's Professional Accountants Division was established. In 1999, Sage entered FTSE 100 and launched a dedicated Irish division, based in Dublin as well as its e-business strategy. In that same year the UK acquisition of Tetra saw Sage enter the mid-range business software market.[10] [11]
Sage was the best-performing UK share in the 1990s, increasing in value by 28,000%.[12]
2000 to 2010
In 2001, Sage acquired Interact Commerce Inc.[13] and entered the CRM/contact management market and in 2002 Sage won 'Business of The Year' in the National Business Awards.[14] Also that year, Sage sponsored the new Music Centre in Gateshead for £6m – now known as Sage Gateshead – the largest ever UK arts/business sponsorship.[15] Sage are one of two technology stocks listed on the FTSE 100 Index,[16] the other being Micro Focus.[17] In 2003, at age 43, Graham Wylie retired with 108.5 million shares in Sage worth £146m. He was rated Britain's 109th richest person in the 2002 Sunday Times Rich List.
Tony Hobson joined the Sage board of directors in June 2004 and became chairman in May 2007.[18]
2010 to present
On 19 April 2010, Sage announced that its CEO, Paul Walker, had indicated an interest in stepping down from his position, which he had held for 16 years.[19] The Financial Times reported that his departure would lead to speculation over Sage's mergers and acquisitions, which have been a key component to the group's growth in the past 20 years.
Walker was one of the longest serving CEOs of an FTSE100 company. Walker left the company on 1 December 2010.[20]

In March 2017, Sage Group acquired Compass, an analytics and benchmarking platform.[25] In March 2017, Sage Group also acquired Fairsail, a Human Capital Management (HCM) cloud-based platform.[26] [27] In July 2017, Sage purchased Intacct for $850M.[28]
On 31 August 2018, Sage announced that Stephen Kelly had stepped down as a director and CEO.[29] On 2 November 2018, Steve Hare was appointed CEO.[30] Hare had been chief financial officer of Sage since 2014 and had been interim COO following the departure of the previous CEO.
