Sage, a global market leader in cloud-based ERP software, is known for Sage X3, a product that provides a secured, simple, and flexible ERP platform, consolidating data in one database for smarter analysis, clearer insights, and stronger business planning.
In the partnership, Awantec will serve as Sage’s business partner to promote, market, distribute and resell Sage X3 products and services exclusively within Malaysia.

Awantec said the collaboration will strengthen Awantec’s capability to support national digitalisation especially with the introduction of e-Invoice in Malaysia.
“As announced during Budget 2024 and in line with the Twelfth Malaysia Plan, the government intends to implement e-Invoice in stages in an effort to enhance the efficiency of Malaysia’s tax administration management,” it said.
Awantec chief executive officer Azlan Zainal Abidin expressed its pleasure to partner with Sage in providing new products that will serve today’s digital customers and industries.
“Collaborating with Sage will elevate Awantec’s product offering to our customers in the industry, especially since Sage has already embarked on a partnership with Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) for the National e-Invoicing initiative.
“Awantec is committed to supporting the nation’s digital transformation and digital economy agenda through our 20 years of experience in delivering large scale digital projects and a highly-skilled team.
