Sage North America, a provider of business management software and services to more than 3 million small and midsized businesses in Canada and the United States, is partnering with the Construction Financial Management Association (CFMA), an international, professional non-profit association focused on the educational needs of financial professionals in construction.

Sage’s Construction and Real Estate business will partner with the association to deliver quality educational programs to CFMA members and the overall construction industry. The partnership seeks to accelerate the development of timely, relevant educational content fulfilling the specialized learning needs of financial managers working in the construction industry.

Through this partnership, Sage will sponsor various existing CFMA educational programs, as well as fund the establishment of the Sage Educational Fellowship, which will develop new educational programs. Sage product lines have been recognized as the most widely used applications for construction estimating, job costing, accounting, payroll, and project management in the mid-market, according to the CFMA's 2010 Information Technology Survey for the Construction Industry.

“Working with Sage to advance educational programs in construction will be a boon to the field as a whole,” says Stuart Binstock, president and CEO of CFMA. “CFMA takes pride in delivering the best learning opportunities to its members. Partnering with a market leader such as Sage will allow us to further expand those opportunities for our members and the broader construction community.”
