Peachtree by Sage Facilitates More Effective Management For Nonprofits

Atlanta, Ga., May 19, 2009 — Sage North America today announced the general availability of its Peachtree 2010 product line, including the latest release of Peachtree by Sage Premium Accounting for Nonprofits and Peachtree by Sage - Quantum. The new and improved functionality in Peachtree Premium Accounting for Nonprofits 2010 goes beyond accounting, bringing nonprofit organizations enhanced capabilities around managing contacts as well as improved security and visibility.

“These days, many organizations are struggling to do more with less - with fewer employees on staff and available financial resources, nonprofits must maximize both,” said Connie Certusi, general manager, small business accounting solutions, Sage North America. ”Peachtree 2010 helps them do just that, with a range of improvements. >From contact management, which helps organizations better cultivate donor and volunteer relationships, to the new in-product guide, which can assist new users in navigating the system, to enhancements around password security to ensure safekeeping of records, Peachtree makes it easier for nonprofits to manage all of their resources, so they can focus instead on serving the communities and organizations that rely on them for support.”

Peachtree Premium Accounting for Nonprofits and Peachtree Quantum combine a range of helpful features with the solid accounting and strong organizational reporting features for which Peachtree is known. With specific improvements around customer management, nonprofits will have even more options for cultivating and managing their donors and volunteers, and the ability to better track interactions with them:

* Customer Management Center: Particularly in the current economy, donors and volunteers are nonprofit organizations’ most precious asset. The new Customer Management Center helps nonprofits view donors and volunteer details in one place, with customizable dashboard views, enhanced lookups and easy export to Microsoft® Excel® or PDF.

* Automatic Backup: With 2010, system backup has also been automated, and can now be scheduled to take place at any time that’s convenient for the organization, so that it doesn’t impact the normal flow of activity, or require extra hours for employees.
