Sage's low-cost accounting software lines will fall under the Sage 50 name, under the company's effort to replace its historical product names under the Sage brand. Both Peachtree and Simply Accounting will bear the Sage 50 label, according to Connie Certusi, EVP of Small Business Accounting Solutions. Sage 50 is a designation already in use in Europe. Certusi did not give a clear indication of how Sage will distinguish between Peachtree, which is sold in the United States, and Simply, which is sold primarily in the Canadian market.
