SoftwareLink was a Sage-only VAR and one of the first to take on Sage X3. Founded in 1987, the firm, led by David Kerr, has long had a diverse financial software portfolio, with a legacy Cyma business. Kerr says the deal was made because, "We wanted to expand our X3 practice and add Sage 100 expertise. They were a perfect fit." The firm also carries AccountMate and Abila, which Kerr says is a small part of its business. The Proviso deal has longer-term potential as the investment firm reported to be working to expand Kerr's business through acquisitions and organic growth.
