Many ISVs are joining us to develop extensions to  Sage’s portfolio of online products and our customers are getting even more value from our global products like Sage One and Sage Live, through new developer add-ons that create enriched functionality over and above the core product. This is a fantastic opportunity for ISVs to join our growing community and grow their business with Sage.

Examples of add-ons already on the Marketplace include cashflow support from Fundbox to eCommerce extensions from Magento and Prestashop.
