Sage North America has placed its Act and Peachtree direct sales operations under a single executive. The reorganization resulted in both efforts being placed under Manny Sandhu, an eight-year Sage veteran, as VP for both. The combination of the sales management also meant that Jim Mullery, VP of sales for Act, has left the company. According to a Sage spokesman, "Consolidating sales under one leader for the US small business market allows us to drive best practices internally, and more importantly, helps us develop a common approach and improved customer experience for our US entry-level customers."
