Commitment
to Business Software Excellence
We recognise that many users have similar needs and we identify
these key elements of solution to support computerised accounting.
Our first concern is to provide feature-rich, stable and
powerful accounting software to handle a wide range of needs.
The second key element is to develop an accounting system
in a modern database language. The third criterion is flexibility.
Users must be able customise the programs precisely to the
needs of their business. We give our clients the option
to purchase source code.
We believe that the needs of today's business user cannot
be satisfied by accounting systems designed only for the
bookkeepers. Business Managers want immediate access to
all key financial and management data to make timely decisions.
Key Benefits of Integrated Accounting System Immediate access
to information is the key benefit of an integrated accounting
system (IAS). The usefulness of an accounting system is
judged by its ability to translate facts and figures into
the information one needs, when one needs it. This information
is a key factor in tracking efficiency and forecasting the
needs of ones’ business. Each system in IAS offers
powerful reports, based on feedback from our customers.
Whilst software companies are expert in their field, they
rarely have accounting and operational systems expertise.
We are able to implement individual business management,
accounting and information systems for local as well as
global operations.
