Sage is expanding its AI and integration strategy on two fronts: a major new AI developer framework for partners and a broad enlargement of its electronic health record (EHR) network that now covers 75% of the senior living market. Together, these two advances reflect a unified push toward open, governed, partner-led extensibility across both its finance and care platforms.
Sage’s AI Developer Solutions mark a significant evolution of the Sage Platform, enabling partners and independent software vendors to build certified AI agents and workflow automations directly into Sage Copilot. The launch debuts with Sage Intacct, using the new Sage AI Gateway built on Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and REST APIs. The Gateway allows partner-built agents to interact securely with Sage products, coordinate tasks, retrieve information, and generate insights. Sage is also integrating Amazon Bedrock and Bedrock AgentCore to support scalable, production-ready AI extensions across multiple Sage customer environments.
Sage Active, the company’s AI-first cloud suite in Europe, will expand this developer strategy with open APIs and eventual support for agentic and MCP capabilities, enabling vertical AI agents and advanced automation within a unified suite spanning quotes, invoicing, accounting, payroll, and HR. Sage positions the overall initiative as a shift from traditional plugin integration to structured co-creation within a governed ecosystem that prioritizes trust, compliance, and data protection. Early partner activity includes Sovos, which is building intelligent tax compliance agents through the program.
Separately, Sage announced major growth in its senior living EHR interoperability. The Sage care platform, including Sage Detect, Sage Core, and Sage Insight, now integrates with ALIS, ECP, and Yardi, with PointClickCare and August Health scheduled for release by early 2026. These integrations synchronize resident data, ADT information, and level-of-care updates across systems, reducing manual entry and supporting faster onboarding. Sage reports that communities using these integrations are going live more quickly and improving workflow efficiency.
What This Means for ERP Insiders
Partner-built AI ecosystems are becoming a core driver of platform differentiation. Sage’s use of MCP servers, REST APIs, and certified agent pathways reflects a broader shift toward environments where partners can deliver advanced automation while operating inside clear governance boundaries. This raises the strategic importance of trust, certification, and platform reliability in shaping how ERP and finance ecosystems evolve.
AI gateways are emerging as a new integration layer—an architectural transition ERP leaders must watch closely. Sage’s introduction of an MCP-based gateway that coordinates agents and connects them securely to Intacct signals a move toward architectures built for multi-agent workflows rather than individual API calls. This approach raises the bar for performance, access control, and data handling across ERP platforms that aim to support agent-driven automation.
Deep industry connectivity is becoming a competitive requirement. Sage’s expansion to 75% EHR coverage in senior living shows how vendors that deliver real-time, domain-specific data pipelines can reduce manual work and strengthen adoption. For ERP stakeholders, this highlights the strategic value of targeted integrations that improve operational accuracy and accelerate customer onboarding in specialized sectors.
