Sage today unveiled tentative plans to rebrand their product names in North America. The current naming plans are to develop a common strategy in order to build the Sage brand:

As a strong brand trusted by users
To significantly increase both awareness and consideration of all Sage products in the SMB space
To increate the value proposition of how Sage can support the needs of SMBs
To grow market share and revenue

Although these names are still subject to change, expect the new product brand names to be similar to the following:

Sage 50

Sage Peachtree
Sage Simply Accounting (Canada)

Sage 100

Sage ERP MAS 90
Sage ERP MAS 200
Sage Master Builder
Sage Fund Accounting

Sage 300

Sage ERP Accpac
Sage Timberline Office

Sage 500

Sage ERP MAS 500
Sage Fund Accounting – Multi User Edition

Sage Universal Solutions

Sage CRM
Sage Fixed Assets (Previously Sage FAS Fixed Assets)
Sage HRMS (Previously Sage Abra HRMS)
Sage Estimating (Previously Sage Timberline Estimating)

The timeline for these changes should approximate the release date of the next major upgrade for the product(s) with most changes occurring late in 2012 and early 2013.

Products not presently slated for rebranding due to specific market plans, strategies or international factors:

Sage ACT!
Sage SalesLogix
Sage EPR X3
Sage BusinessWorks
Sage BusinessVision
Sage DacEasy
Sage PFW
Sage Pro
Sage fundraising series – including Sage Millennium
