📅 8–10 March 2026 | Glenburn Lodge & Spa, Muldersdrift, South Africa
We are thrilled to announce that IDU is a proud Gold Partner at TPAC South Africa 2026 — one of the most significant gatherings in the African Sage ecosystem. Taking place from 8 to 10 March 2026 at the beautiful Glenburn Lodge & Spa in Muldersdrift, TPAC Southern Africa brings together Sage customers, resellers, and Independent Software Vendors for an immersive, insight-led conference experience.
As a Gold Partner, IDU's presence at TPAC 2026 reflects our deep commitment to the Sage community — and our belief that better budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting tools can fundamentally change how finance teams operate and how organisations grow.
About TPAC Southern Africa 2026
TPAC is designed to connect the wider Sage community — showcasing development partner products that work with Sage 300, Sage X3, Sage 200, Sage Intacct, Sage HR, Payroll, and People. Whether you are looking for a vertical solution, a specialist add-on, or a customisation to extend your existing Sage ERP investment, TPAC puts everything in one place.
Attendees can look forward to:
• Strategic Sage content and roadmap insights
• Practical sessions focused on customer outcomes and adoption
• A Centre of Excellence and AI focus area
• Dedicated Sage CRM content
• High-quality networking with customers, partners, and technology providers
A highlight of the programme is the Customer Day on Monday 9 March — a dedicated day created specifically for Sage customers to engage directly with the ecosystem, explore proven tools and add-ons, and connect with partners who can support real improvements across finance, operations, and customer engagement.
IDU at TPAC: What to Expect
The IDU team will be on the ground at TPAC, ready to connect with Sage customers and partners, demonstrate our solution, and explore how we can help organisations get more from their Sage ERP investment.
We invite you to visit the IDU stand, experience a live demo, and discover how our collaborative budgeting, planning, and financial reporting platform can transform the way your finance team works.

IDU Director Margie Whitten Takes the Stage
We are especially excited that Margie Whitten, Director at IDU, will be presenting two sessions at TPAC 2026. Margie brings years of deep expertise in financial planning and performance management, and her sessions are not to be missed.
Session 1: Driving Strategic Growth with IDU Budgeting and Planning
In this session, Margie will explore how IDU transforms budgeting from a painful annual exercise into a continuous, strategic planning process — one that empowers managers, improves accuracy, and gives the finance team the headroom to focus on forward-looking insight rather than administrative tasks.
Session 2: From Data to Decisions — Unlocking the Power of IDU Financial Reporting
Margie's second session focuses on financial reporting as a strategic advantage. Attendees will learn how IDU turns raw financial and operational data into clear, actionable insight — moving reporting beyond compliance and into the realm of decision-making that drives real business outcomes.
