Sage 50 to Sage Intacct migration
Move beyond Sage 50 (formely PeachTree) as your financial requirements become more complex. Rand Group helps growing organizations transition to Sage Intacct, a cloud-native financial management platform with greater automation, reporting, and scalability. Our Sage experts guide your migration from planning and data preparation through configuration, integrations, training, go-live, and ongoing support.
Is it time to make the move from Sage 50 to Sage Intacct?
Sage 50 can provide a strong accounting foundation, but growing organizations may eventually need more sophisticated financial management capabilities. Spreadsheet-heavy reporting, increasing manual work, additional entities or locations, more complex approval requirements, and disconnected business systems can all be signs that your organization is beginning to outgrow its current accounting software.
Sage Intacct provides a cloud-native financial management platform designed to support greater financial complexity. With more advanced automation, reporting, controls, multi-entity capabilities, and integrations, Sage Intacct can help finance teams streamline processes and build a financial management environment that can evolve with the organization.

Support increasing financial complexity

What data can be migrated from Sage 50 to Sage Intacct?
A Sage 50 to Sage Intacct migration can include data such as the chart of accounts, customers, vendors, opening balances, transactions, and other financial records. The specific data migrated depends on your business requirements, data quality, reporting needs, and how much historical information you want available in Sage Intacct.
Can historical Sage 50 data be migrated to Sage Intacct?
Yes, historical Sage 50 data can be considered as part of the migration. However, organizations do not always need to move every historical transaction. During migration planning, Rand Group can help determine how much history should be converted to Sage Intacct and what information may be better retained separately for historical reference.
How long does a Sage 50 to Sage Intacct migration take?
The timeline depends on factors such as the amount and quality of data being migrated, number of entities, Sage Intacct modules being implemented, integrations, reporting requirements, process complexity, testing, and available internal resources. A migration assessment helps establish the appropriate scope, timeline, and cutover plan.
Can Sage Intacct support multiple entities and locations?
Yes. Sage Intacct provides multi-entity financial management capabilities for organizations managing multiple entities, locations, or business units. It can help streamline intercompany transactions, consolidations, eliminations, and reporting while providing visibility into individual entities and consolidated financial performance.
What happens to our integrations when we move from Sage 50 to Sage Intacct?
Existing integrations should be evaluated during migration planning rather than automatically recreated. Some requirements may be addressed through Sage Intacct’s native capabilities, while others may require integrations or Marketplace solutions. Reviewing integrations early also provides an opportunity to eliminate unnecessary connections or redesign inefficient processes.
How should we prepare for a Sage 50 to Sage Intacct migration?
Start by documenting your current financial processes, reports, integrations, data requirements, and pain points. Organizations should also review data quality, identify duplicate or inactive records, determine historical-data requirements, and involve key finance and technology stakeholders in migration planning.
