To maintain quality and integrity of Sage products customization can only be performed by select Sage Partners called Sage Master Developers. This status is earned by completing an extensive certification process the same stringent requirements as Sage’s staff programmers. SWK has been a Sage Master Developer since 1989.
As a Sage Master Developer, SWK is approved to access Sage’s source code and documentation for the Sage product family. All SWK custom programming looks and functions as if it was an integral part of the original software.
Custom Programming is performed on a fixed fee basis so you know exactly what your investment will be. These customizations often improve productivity or result in cost reductions that mean a full ROI in a short time.
