Sage Software announced today from its annual Insights conference the availability of Peachtree by Sage – Quantum 2009, which offers growing small businesses the simplicity of an integrated accounting solution, featuring unrivalled performance and capacity for up to 30 users1. With the release of Peachtree Quantum 2009, Sage Software simplifies the choice for growing small businesses ready to move up to their next accounting solution.“For small businesses that have outgrown their current systems, but aren’t ready for a mid-market solution such as our sister product Sage MAS 90, the new Peachtree Quantum provides the right balance of serious accounting functionality, ease of use, and transaction capacity,” said Connie Certusi, general manager of Sage Software small business accounting solutions. “For 2009, we’ve focused on giving customers major efficiencies in time management through function re-designs and speed improvements in transaction processing. Peachtree Quantum 2009 costs less than any similar accounting solution, and now offers small businesses greater value with better performance under heavy data and increased user access.”
Peachtree Quantum 2009 offers exceptional improvements in product performance and scalability with a new increased capacity for up to 30 users, up from the original 10-user access. The new SmartPosting technology now available in Peachtree Quantum significantly improves the speed at which Peachtree Quantum operates; it enables Peachtree Quantum to run 4 times faster than QuickBooks® Enterprise 20082, the closest comparable solution, when tested in a 20 user, high transaction environment. The streamlined performance of Peachtree Quantum 2009 will easily handle the workload of 30 users and an expanding database3, which will assist growing small businesses with accomplishing accounting tasks more quickly and efficiently.
As the most comprehensive accounting package in the Peachtree 2009 product line, Peachtree Quantum offers the exclusive functionality detailed above, along with all the new and improved features in the standard product line. Available in the late-May timeframe, Peachtree 2009 offers more business management tools including work smart features for time management and new employee payroll management functionality.
The Peachtree Quantum Business Care Plan is also included with product purchase. With this plan, companies receive one year of unlimited access4 to high-level support specialists for both Peachtree Quantum and Microsoft® Excel®5, and access to product updates and upgrades for 12 months from the date of purchase.6 The Business Care Plan also includes an array of training options, including self-study guides and online training, both live and recorded. The Business Care Plan is unique at the small business level, and something typically only available with more expensive mid-market solutions.
With industry-specific features and reports to meet the specialized needs of small manufacturers, distributors, contractors, and nonprofit organizations, Peachtree Quantum provides growing small businesses with the accuracy, control, and results they require for successful business management. The Sage Software migration path expands the Peachtree product line and offers a natural transition up to Sage MAS 90 to ensure small businesses have familiar and affordable options to support their long term business growth.
Peachtree Quantum will be available in late May with the rest of the Peachtree by Sage 2009 line. Previews of Peachtree Quantum and the entire Peachtree 2009 line are available at the Sage Software Insights Conference in National Harbor, MD, May 12-15.
