<p>Software group Sage has said its sales revival is continuing as more of its small and medium-sized business customers showed signs of recovery.</p>
<p>The FTSE 100 company returned to sales growth in the six months to September and maintained the improved performance in the final three months of 2010.</p>
<p>Chief executive Guy Berruyer said the company&#8217;s principal markets, which include the UK, USA and Australia, stepped up their gradual recovery in the quarter, helping Sage perform in line with expectations.</p>
<p>Shares in Sage were up 2% following the update.</p>
<p>The company operates in more than 24 countries and mainly serves small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). The UK makes up about 20% of its revenues, with America accounting for about 40%.</p>
<p>The Newcastle-based firm, which employs around 13,400 people and serves more than six million businesses worldwide, previously said SMEs went into the recession late but were also slow to recover.</p>
<p>Sage recently reported its first period of growth in software and software-related services in the six months to September 2010 since 2007.</p>
<p>The improved performance helped overall revenues climb 3% on an organic basis in the second half of the year, compared with a decline of 2% in the first half.</p>
<p>Despite revenues for the year being flat at £1.4 billion, the company posted a 14% rise in underlying profits of £355.7 million.</p>
<p>Aside from its Newcastle headquarters, the firm also has UK offices in Manchester, Winnersh, near Reading, central London and Witney in Oxfordshire.</p>
