History

Executive Team

Mike Lorge is the managing director of Sage Business Solutions for Australia and New Zealand.

Mike is a chartered accountant and became a director of Softline Holdings (now wholly owned by Sage)[3] in 1999, after his IT services company Lorge Consulting was acquired by Softline. This company was a Sage Accpac Business Partner and grew to be the largest and most profitable in the world, winning numerous partner awards.[1]

Mike moved to Australia in 2000 following the establishment by Softline of its Australian operations. The following year he founded Pivotil[4] which provides best practice business management tools and methodologies for Sage Business Partners.
