AUSTIN, TX, Apr 10 (MARKET WIRE) --
Sage Software today announced that its Sage MIP Fund Accounting product has
received a coveted 2008 Campbell Award from Campbell Rinker, an independent
market research firm, for being the most recommended accounting solution among
users from nonprofits with annual revenue of $5 million and above, based on the
firm's 2007 Nonprofit Accounting Software Survey of U.S. customers. Campbell
Rinker surveyed approximately 2,400 customers of accounting software for
nonprofits, from which a selection of qualified product ratings were used in
the selection of the awards.

This is Sage MIP Fund Accounting's third consecutive Campbell Award. In
2005, the product received the highest overall satisfaction score among
allproducts rated in the Nonprofit Accounting Software Survey, and in 2004,
itreceived a Campbell Award for having the Best Expense Tracking

that 10 percent of nonprofits are using online accounting applications (i.e.
ASPs, Web sites, etc.) as their primary solution, while the remaining 90 percent
of nonprofits are using locally installed software*. Campbell Rinker thoroughly
screens users to ensure results are accurate.
