Sage Launches New Support Program

The program is designed to help small businesses use Peachtree and Excel.

Sage Software, a division of the Sage Group, has introduced its new Freedom Support Extra program for Peachtree accounting software and Microsoft Excel users. The new program is designed to help small businesses, accountants and Sage Software Accountants' Network members better use Peachtree and Excel to increase the reporting and analysis capabilities available through combining the two applications.

Small businesses that purchase Freedom Support Extra will receive support and training for both Peachtree and Excel, including time-saving and productivity-boosting tips. The program also offers downloadable and customizable business templates to automate routine reports and processes across Peachtree and Excel.

"Many small business owners' first experience with managing finances is through Excel spreadsheets. As their businesses grow and they add employees, they move up to an accounting solution like Peachtree, but often keep Excel as part of their operations," Andrew Goldberg, senior director of strategic marketing for Peachtree at Sage Software, said in a statement. "Our new Freedom Support Extra support and training package will help those businesses to take full advantage of their investments and improve their business processes."
