2003
Our Beginnings
Brilliant Link was founded by Mr Stef Fourie in 2003 initially as Brilliant Link CC. As a Sage Evolution partner, Brilliant Link’s core service offering was to sell and support Brilliant Accounting and Brilliant Payroll and the newly developed Pastel Evolution Accounting and Pastel Evolution Payroll.
2004
Our Growth
Brilliant Link hired its first additional consultant in order to provide an exceptional service to its customers. Since then, Brilliant Link has employed an additional 14 consultants who are all Pastel Evolution Certified Installer (PECI) certified and able to support all Sage Evolution modules, including Branch Accounting and Retail. Our consultants hold a combined total of 79 years’ consulting experience, which makes us your best Sage Evolution partner.
From the outset, Brilliant Link has enjoyed the highest business partner status with Sage. Initially we were a Platinum Business Partner and later, when Sage revised statuses, Brilliant Link achieved Super Platinum Business Partner status.

Our expertise mirrored our growth and Brilliant Link achieved first place in the Sage Evolution Commercial Sector Business Partner Programme for 2010-2011. We achieved first place yet again in the Sage Evolution Commercial Sector Business Partner Programme for 2011-2012.
2016
Our Future
Brilliant Link was once again the winner of the Service Excellence award in Gauteng for 2013-2014 and we took second place in Gauteng for the Sage Evolution Business Partner Programme for 2013-2014 at the annual Sage Evolution Awards Gala held in Cape Town.
With our future looking promising, thanks to consistent growth in consultants and administration staff, we required larger premises. Brilliant Link purchased and currently operates from our beautiful premises in Boskruin, Randburg.
