Sage – “In what year was widepartner created and how has your evolution been since then?"

Iago González Campo, Managing Director of widepartner Spain - “It emerged in 2017 thanks to the alliance between Sistemas Ideais, Partner Sage in Portugal, and inCentea Spain. Our ambition is to be a global Sage Partner. We currently have a physical presence in Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Mozambique and Cabo Verde, although we offer services to clients also in other countries. As news, I would like to comment on our recent integration of the Brazilian Partner Sage Cora, located in Curitiba, which allows us to strengthen our structure in Brazil. "


Sage – “What is your geographic business area and what services do you offer to your clients?"

Iago González Campo, Managing Director of widepartner Spain - “Our geographic business area is mainly the countries where we have a physical presence, although it is true that we are increasingly carrying out more work in other destinations. We offer specialized services in the most diverse areas of activity, such as production, distribution, retail and services, among others. We also develop complementary applications to Sage ERPs, seeking to optimize business processes for clients."

 

Sage – “ What is your customer profile and how has it evolved in recent years?”

Iago González Campo, Managing Director of widepartner Spain - “Our clients are usually companies with a medium-high dimension, with an international presence, and who seek to improve their production, logistics and financial processes with a stable and technologically advanced solution such as Sage X3 or Sage XRT. In recent years our clients are getting bigger. We feel comfortable working for clients with a certain dimension."


Sage – “What are the main technological challenges facing companies today?

Iago González Campo, Managing Director of widepartner Spain - “From my point of view, companies currently face the following challenges:

Have a stable business solution that facilitates mobility / telework and that allows its integration with other vertical solutions.

Avoid duplication of tasks.

Have indicators and alerts that allow decisions to be made.

In a global and highly competitive world like the one we live in, having the correct information in real time can be the difference between evolving or dying. And technology must be our ally. "

 

Sage – “ What do you think are the strengths of Sage solutions compared to other options on the market??”

Iago González Campo, Managing Director of widepartner Spain - “Sage is an international company focused exclusively on management software. You have enough capacity to invest in a product and you focus on your Partner channel to reach your goal. Both Sage X3 and Sage XRT are top solutions, which allow us to compete with other well-known software manufacturers.
In addition, Sage's direct support in participating in business opportunities is a very positive aspect."

 

Sage – "What are your strengths and the added value that you bring to your clients?"

Iago González Campo, Managing Director of widepartner Spain - “We currently have a team of more than 50 consultants, who are specialized and certified in Sage solutions. As a strong point we have our experience as software implanters for more than 30 years, with consultants from different countries that enrich our ecosystem and who aim to find solutions for our clients. "

 

Sage – “How do you value your alliance as Sage Partners? Have your initial expectations been met? 

Iago González Campo, Managing Director of widepartner Spain - “widepartner would not exist without Sage, which is why our alliance is strong and totally trustworthy. Like everything in this life, we have better and worse experiences, but our initial expectations have been met and we are working to be a Partner with a greater global presence."

Iago González Campo, Managing Director of widepartner Spain - “If I have to write the letter to the Three Kings…

- More investment in product.
