Sage announced on Tuesday the launch of its new AI Developer Solutions at its flagship Sage Future for Partners event, marking a major milestone in how partners and independent software vendors innovate on the Sage platform, the Atlanta-based company said.
The first phase of the program launches with Sage Intacct, with future expansion across Sage’s product portfolio.
Sage said it will integrate certified third-party AI agents directly into the Sage Copilot experience, enabling partners to build and deploy specialized AI workflows that elevate human work. For customers, this means richer choice, embedded intelligence, and faster innovation within the Sage products they already trust, the company said.
“This is the next step in Sage’s platform journey,” Aaron Harris, chief technology officer at Sage, said in a media release. “We are giving our partners the ability to build with Sage intelligence at their core. Together we can accelerate innovation for millions of small and midsized businesses, bringing AI agents out of the lab and into the real workflows where they’ll make the biggest impact.”
The new Sage AI Developer Solutions introduces a curated, secure, and governed ecosystem where trusted partners can create certified advanced AI capabilities and AI agents that enhance automation, integration, insight, and decision-making for Sage customers. The goal, according to Sage, is to accelerate innovation while maintaining the highest standards of trust, quality, compliance, and data protection and meeting the specific business needs of its customers.
At the center of the initiative is the Sage AI Gateway, built on Model Context Protocol servers and representational state transfer APIs. Together, these components enable the creation of AI extensions that securely interact with and integrate seamlessly into Sage’s core products.
Launching in November with the Intacct AI Gateway, the MCP server “will enable intelligent orchestration by allowing multiple agents to coordinate tasks, handle planning, instantly retrieve information, and generate useful insights,” Sage said. Built on top of Sage Intacct REST APIs, the MCP server allows third-party-built AI solutions to be more effective and provide increased customer value.
Sage Active, Sage’s flagship AI-first cloud suite for Europe, represents the next step in this strategy. Built for scale and designed to embed intelligent workflows across every aspect of a customer’s business, its open APIs create a scalable ecosystem where developers can design advanced, tailored solutions.
As part of Sage’s unified AI Developer Solutions, Sage Active will progressively evolve to support agentic and MCP capabilities, enabling partners to build vertical AI agents and advanced automations as these capabilities roll out. By unifying quotes, invoicing, accounting, payroll, and human resources into a single cloud-native suite, it provides partners with a modern go-to-market engine that helps small and midsized businesses adopt new capabilities with confidence, Sage said.
“The launch signals a fundamental evolution in how Sage works with its ecosystem, enabling partners to move from integration to true co-creation within Sage’s AI-powered platform infrastructure,” the company said.
To accelerate development and enable global scalability for Sage AI Developer Solutions, Sage is collaborating initially with Amazon Web Services to build agents with select partners. This capability will soon expand for partners to build agents across additional environments while leveraging the Sage platform and documentation for a seamless Copilot experience,
By utilizing Amazon Bedrock, Sage and its partners gain access to advanced large language models which can be securely connected to Sage MCPs and REST APIs.
The inclusion of Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, an agentic platform to build, deploy, and operate agents securely at scale using any framework and model, facilitates the construction of production-ready, Sage certified AI agents that may be deployed across multiple Sage customers via Sage Copilot.
“The collaboration ensures that every AI extension developed through the program benefits from AWS infrastructure’s reliability, scalability, and resilience while preserving Sage’s commitment to trust, security, and compliance,” Sage said. “The approach empowers developers to innovate faster, deploying and commercializing customized AI agents and workflow automation with human-in-the-loop controls, ensuring solutions are both high-performing and responsible.”
“This collaboration between AWS and Sage empowers small and midsized businesses to harness the full potential of AI without complexity,” added Chris Grusz, managing director of technology partnerships at AWS. “By bringing together Sage’s platform expertise with Amazon Bedrock and AgentCore capabilities, we’re enabling partners to create trusted AI solutions that solve real customer problems. Our shared vision is to make advanced AI accessible, secure, and immediately valuable for businesses of all sizes.”
