New mid-market buyers (Intacct/NetSuite better, don't start on Sage 300 in 2026), services-anchored businesses (Intacct better), or buyers wanting modern UX.
Mid-market companies maintaining Sage 300 on-prem deployments who haven't yet migrated to Sage Intacct or other cloud ERP, usually due to specific industry customizations or change-management cost.
Why we say this
