North American receive was approximately $218.6 million, an increase of 6.4 percent over last year’s corresponding period. Sage said the results on this continent came principally from the performance of its cloud-based Sage Intacct.  Cloud native revenue, which includes Intacct and Sage People, increased 27 percent. CFO Jonathan Howell said the webcast of the results, company is now “seeing numbers of our Sage 50 base moving to Intacct.” License revenue, which falls under the category software related services and processing, was off 24 percent to about $53.3 million, a trend Howell notes will continue with the move to the cloud and subscriptions.
