About Sage Networks

Backed by a seasoned management team with extensive experience in Internet technology and growth through acquisition strategy, Sage is also differentiated by delivering exceptional customer care and building a reliable, high-performance network. Sage is able to offer access to a broader range of hosting solutions and thereby extends the value customers realize from their corporate Web sites by enabling them to migrate from static sites, to interactive sites, to transactional sites, which incorporate electronic commerce.
