"In the past, access to this kind of financial analysis and benchmarking
data with iLumen's service was primarily only available to banks and
accountants, who in turn used it when working with clients," said Connie
Certusi, general manager, small business accounting solutions, Sage North
America. "We're thrilled to arm our small business and accountant
customers with this powerful analysis tool, to help them gain a clear
picture of where they are, where they are going, and where opportunities
exist."
With Business Analytics, small businesses gain access to many of the same
powerful capabilities that are used by leading banks, accounting firms and
larger businessess to provide financial insights and trend analyses. The
feature is included for Peachtree users, making it a tremendous value for
small businesses and accountants alike. They will be able to access
relevant financial analysis, compare their own business performance against
their industry's performance, and gain a deeper understanding of their own
business challenges and opportunities.
"We are delighted to partner with Sage and power the Peachtree product with
our analytic and benchmarking capabilities," said Michael Canzian,
President, iLumen. "We have packaged our service to be 'inside the box'
