Sage and AWS Accelerate AI-Driven Solutions for SMB Accounting and Compliance
Sage, a leading provider of accounting software, has made significant strides in its collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to advance AI-powered solutions for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Through this partnership, Sage is utilizing AWS's AI technologies, such as Amazon Bedrock and advanced AI chips like AWS Trainium and AWS Inferentia, to develop tailored tools focused on accounting and compliance needs for SMBs.
The collaboration has allowed Sage to rapidly accelerate the development, testing, and deployment of AI models, offering SMBs quicker access to its tools and providing more accurate financial insights. These innovations aim to streamline finance management with greater precision, ensuring that SMBs can operate with more confidence.
Over the past year, Sage has launched purpose-built large and small language models for accounting and compliance. These models enhance the reliability and efficiency of Sage’s AI-powered financial solutions, offering stronger support for SMBs' daily operations.
Key updates to Sage’s offerings include the enhanced Sage Copilot, an AI assistant integrated into Sage Accounting, Sage for Accountants, Sage 50, and Sage Intacct. This assistant is already available in the UK, US, France, Spain, and Germany. New advancements, such as the Accounting Filtering Model, ensure that AI responses stay relevant and accurate when addressing financial or compliance queries.
Additionally, Sage Copilot now offers real-time insights, automates workflows, and reduces the need for manual financial tasks. New endpoint detection models help the AI better interpret user intent, streamlining decision-making and providing relevant financial data for users.
Amaya Souarez, EVP of Sage Cloud Services & Operations, emphasized the value of the collaboration, stating, “By combining Sage’s deep accounting expertise with the powerful AI infrastructure of AWS, we are creating technology that is not just intelligent, but also trusted and practical for finance.” This partnership is aimed at helping SMBs reduce time spent on financial administration, gain clearer insights into their finances, and focus on business growth.
