Peachtree Software began shipping Peachtree Business Internet Suite, a retail product that enables small companies to quickly and easily conduct business on the Internet.

It is the first retail product that enables small businesses to take orders over the Internet, review the orders, and then place the orders into their accounting packages.

"Peachtree Business Internet Suite helps companies build a presence on the World Wide Web, allowing small businesses to immediately seize electronic commerce opportunities," said Ron Verni, president of Peachtree Software. "We're confident that Peachtree Business Internet Suite, like our accounting software products, will help users expand their business operations in an inexpensive and manageable manner."

Offering six programs in one package, Peachtree Business Internet Suite includes a comprehensive tutorial, Web site creation software, Internet access with the popular browser, Netscape Navigator, electronic transaction capabilities with integration to Peachtree Complete Accounting for Windows via PeachLink order processor, and email. To facilitate the online ordering process further, the product provides a secure environment for sending and receiving credit card data.

"Establishing a presence in the marketplace is a key factor in generating sales," Verni said. "Peachtree Business Internet Suite makes that presence a reality for small businesses, enabling them to advertise, take orders, access information, and find new customers, all from their home offices or business locations."

Peachtree and Harbinger Corporation (HRBC) formed a strategic partnership in which Harbinger, one of the largest electronic commerce providers in the world, supplies the Web site creation software for the product and provides Web hosting services.
