We have completed participation in beta testing for Peachtree 2011, and anticipate the announcement of an official release date shortly. We cannot yet legally discuss the specifics of this new release (due to our non-disclosure agreement), but we expect the new version to be available in late May – early June.  

What does this mean for you?  

If you are using a version of Peachtree earlier than Peachtree 2008, it means that Sage’s “official” support for your version will end shortly after this new release. While we will continue supporting these “obsolete” versions, we are constrained by our inability to obtain the manufacturer’s support for those earlier versions. It may be time to consider an upgrade.  

If you are using Peachtree 2008 or later, you should carefully review the new features for the 2011 version, and make your upgrade decision based on features. We can tell you that there are significant new features in the area of inventory management and job costing, so if you use either of these components you will want to carefully review these features.  

If you decide to upgrade, we urge you to consider placing your upgrade order through TriStar. We do very little advertising, receiving the majority of our new business through referrals from the Peachtree website. Our positioning on that website (currently #1 for Pennsylvania) is determined by the Peachtree orders we place with Sage. Your upgrade order will help us maintain that lofty position.

 In most cases we are able to match or exceed whatever upgrade pricing Sage is able to offer you directly (as a consequence of our Platinum status). So, by placing your Peachtree upgrade order with TriStar you help us maintain our Platinum status, and we help you to save a little money on your upgrade.

 A classic “win-win!”

 Give us a call if you would like to discuss your upgrade options.
