Commenting on the Social Web initiative, Thomas Abraham, Managing Director, Sage India, said, “We recognize the need to be active on the web and leverage social media platforms in order to reach out to a wider audience seeking ERP, CRM and Payroll solutions. Our official blog now available at http://www.sageindiablogs.com is the first step in this direction and is a unique initiative to improve our presence in the SME segment. Likewise our official website http://www.sagesoftware.co.in is now well optimized for Search Engines and has seen increased traction over the last few months.
While commenting about the performance till date on the web initiative, Mr. Abraham shared, “We were getting a monthly traffic of about 25 visitors per day when we launched our website in mid 2009, which has increased to 100+ per day with an increase in relevancy, thereby improving lead conversion and reduction in the sales cycle. Also, Google and other search engines contribute to over 61% of the visitors. This is a great statistic as it shows people searching for relevant solutions are able to access us on the web. This has positively impacted our outlook towards the online media and the increasing relevance of the same in our business strategy.”
