For the many companies seeking true value in a very robust business management system, one that rivals higher end and therefore more expensive systems, I can recommend AccountMate without hesitation."
J. Carlton Collins, President, Accounting Software Advisor
"I have yet to be embarrassed in front of a
client, because a feature of AccountMate Software didn't work the way it was intended
to."
Carl
Gruber, Computer Logic Group
"At
AccountMate, unlike some of the large public vendors, I get personal attention
from my dedicated Business Development Manager. This gives me an edge because I
am kept informed about upcoming developments and can plan accordingly. My Business Development Manager, as someone
who knows me and my business, is also able to give me direction when special
circumstances arise with a prospect or enduser."
"I
have recently started migrating people to AccountMate from Great Plains because
my clients and I feel Visual AccountMate is a much more intuitive program and
his much easier to integrate with third party applications."
Current
AccountMate and Great Plains Reseller
"I am in the process of taking all of the on
line training courses for VAM and must say I am very impressed with the feature
set, especially in order entry. This
makes me a big convert and evangelist!"
Jay
Rubin, President of DFC Enterprises, Inc.
"From our perspective, the ability to customize
Visual AccountMate software and offer training on a product that is so easy to
learn has given us a competitive advantage and a tremendous boost to our profit
margin. AccountMate offers us a winning combination: a very user-friendly
product, 32-bit technology that makes full use of the Windows NT platform, plus
source code for quick and easy modifications to fit our customers' needs. The
VAM product has made us much more profitable over the last few years."
Bart
Nachimow, President of MIBAR Computer Services
"AccountMate has given us the best of both worlds
in that Visual AccountMate® is a powerful
'canned' package, that also offers the flexibility for quick and easy
customization. We can meet the specific needs of our client base, which has
contributed to our excellent client loyalty. Considering that roughly 90% of
our installations involve some sort of customization, Visual AccountMate® fits our objectives
like a glove."
Luis
Leon, Microtask Consulting, Inc.
"Working
with AccountMate is great, they're wonderful people to work with, from their
tech support to their account reps. I've heard horror stories about vendors
from other resellers, but I've never had any problems with AccountMate. Not
only are the people good, the product sells itself. It is incredibly intuitive
and, because the company offers source code, can be customized to fit the needs
of any business."
Jesse Jones, Owner of AccountPro, Inc.
"If they have lived in an unstructured
environment in the past, it is my responsibility to get them into the real
world with the proper controls. As an accountant and CPA I can recognize
weaknesses in their procedures and internal controls and develop solutions to
these problems. Since we are paid to solve problems, if we demonstrate success
in this regard, we have taken a big step in earning that client's trust.
Therefore, when it comes time to recommend an accounting solution, the odds are
good the client will adopt our recommendation. Having VAM in my arsenal gives
me the confidence that the software will do exactly what my clients need it to
do to make them more productive. And that makes me look good and ensures my
future success."
Tom Bourassa, CPA
"It's great to find a system that offers all the
functionality we need to comply with federal regulations. Now we don't have to
reinvent the wheel and develop our own customized accounting system from
scratch to team up with our Housing Management Software. The availability of
source code is great because it reassures our users that they won't have to
switch to another vendor's product down the road. VAM is the perfect complement
to our Visual HOMES package."
Bhasker Agrawal, President of Information
Systems and Services, Inc.
"That package and the follow-up, Visual
AccountMate for Windows 95®/Windows NT®,
were responsible for easily allowing MetAir's to increase the business it
handled by more than 200%."
Les Kule, President of Friendly Software
Applications, Inc.
"Visual AccountMate is truly the system of the
future for three reasons. First it uses a true 32-bit database system, allows
you to get into the system so you can do your own reporting, or even write your
own hard code since the source code is provided, and it helps simplify
communication world-wide. We have seen a significant productivity increase, and
over time expect it to result in at least a 30 percent increase in employee
productivity within our customer service, sales and accounting divisions. For a
business with revenue in excess of $50 million a year, that type of increase
will make a significant difference to our bottom line and justify the cost and
time associated with implementing this new system."
Jim
Williams, General Manager and Controller of Ohsman and Sons Co.
"Visual
AccountMate is exceptionally easy to work with and to understand. The online
'HELP' files work well and are well documented, and the functionality is
excellent. The process flow is not redundant and is easy to follow. AccountMate should definitely
exploit this as an enormous advantage over the competition."
Brian Kloss
"Visual
AccountMate has drastically cut down on order taking time because we now has
the ability to view multiple order forms simultaneously, because of the software's
graphical user interface. Additionally, and perhaps most important, the new
software is giving us much more sophisticated and accurate inventory tracking
capability. In the past we did a lot of manual inventory control, with Visual
AccountMate we have been able to automate the entire process, allowing us to
better anticipate shortages and quickly place orders with our Swiss offices."
Sam Seagal, General Manager of Reuge USA
"Switching to Visual AccountMate has
provided substantial time savings that make it possible to run this business on
a far more efficient basis."
Ida Kitira, President of Vance Kitira
"I like the fact Visual AccountMate has an open
architecture that will allow us to easily make customizations and interface to
other programs."
Lori Katz, Executive Vice President and Owner of
Epsom Salt Plus
"The new accounting system makes it possible to
provide our customers with the same quality and service on the administrative
side of the business that we have always provided in other areas. Productivity
has gone up dramatically, particularly on the sales side of the business."
Jay Moritz, Administrator of Earl's Organic
Produce
"Visual AccountMate®has
been a great investment for us. I can't imagine a better accounting solution
for e-commerce. We are quite satisfied with all the capabilities of the new
accounting system and I'm glad we have the power of a full functioning
accounting suite to deal with the fast pace and high information requirements
of electronic commerce."
David Wright, Homebid.com Director of Customer
Service
"VAM
was so easy to learn and implement. Its design was very intuitive and
user-friendly, plus it was tailored to meet our company's specific needs."
Dennis Grande, Owner and Director of Turtle
Company
"Because the software is so intuitive it has
been easy for us to train new employees as we grow. In general the new software
is just much more powerful, I can basically retrieve any information I need
with a mouse click or two. With the amount of time we are saving and the better
customer service we can now offer Visual AccountMate will quickly be able to
demonstrate a significant return on investment."
Barbara Kemery, Office Manager of Violet Packing
"We have not experienced a single second of
downtime with these servers, which is crucial because our entire operation
depends on their performance and the nearest repair facility is hundreds of
miles away. Because Visual AccountMate is Netfinity ServerProven, I can rest
assured there will be no hardware/software incompatibility issues and the
solution will have the power to handle our high volume of transactions. Even
with 20-plus simultaneous users, we are experiencing no noticeable delays."
Luis Rodriguez, Director of Information Systems for Agropecueria Motelibano
"The net result has been a substantial
improvement in quality. Mistakes that sometimes used to be made because a paper
form was created incorrectly or mishandled have been eliminated. In fact,
because our equipment is so modern and our staff is highly skilled, the
majority of the mistakes that we made in the past did involve paperwork snafus.
Eliminating these problems means that quality issues now arise only on a very
rare basis. In addition, shop floor workers and clerical staff save a huge
amount of time because the software takes care of many filing and data re-entry
tasks that used to have to be performed by hand. This new software gives us a
tremendous competitive advantage yet it was delivered at a cost that we could
easily afford, besides the ISO9000 solution, Visual AccountMate provides a
complete integrated application for the accounting requirements of Metalurgica
Tassaroli."
Metalurgica Tassaroli
"Visual AccountMate helped to significantly
improve the productivity of our financial staff and also helped us keep more
accurate accounting records."
Richard Daniels, Finance Director of Port of Port Arthur, Texas
"I love the fact that all the reports we need for both the government and our
auditor are so easy to generate. The laser-check processing feature in the VAM
system has also really enhanced our payroll processing."
Dan Farrell, Executive Director of Altoona Housing Authority (AHA)
"We signed up as a reseller 15 years ago and we've never regretted our decision.
The coding has remained elegant as the software has grown into a scalable
enterprise-wide system across multiple platforms. After all these years, we
still enjoy a mutually beneficial and profitable relationship with AccountMate.
There's no reason to think that the next 15 years won't be even better."
Lorraine Keating of Prism Visual Software
"Since installing VAM, we have saved one person in the office and another in the shop.
Also, we used to have an "expediter" and now that position is no longer
necessary. In addition to all the savings in labor expenses, you can't even
imagine how much time we have saved with VAM's tiling feature, which has made
our phone reps much more productive. They no longer have to waste time exiting
screens in order to open new ones. And the ability to link with our Long Island
office now via modem means we can work right along with them and share
information any time of day. We couldn't be happier with VAM."
Ron Buttner, President of Anodic Inc.
"With VAM we will be able to grow and change the computer system as systems and
markets change. modifications are more easily identified so they
can be tested with new releases of VAM. Moreover, with the availability of the
SQL version of VAM we will be able to enhance the security and productivity of
VAM if we need to. And most important to us is VAM's relational database, which
will enable us to continue to add or enhance management reports as needed."
Loren Merrell, System Administrator of Keith Riggs Plumbing
"Visual AccountMate offers an excellent upgrade path for your RealWorld Expertise Customers, who will be delighted with the
software's easy to use graphical interface and unlimited potential for
customization and integration. I never would have guessed how important having
access to Visual AccountMate's source code would be to my business success
before I become an AccountMate Business Partner. Being able to offer customized solutions when needed has been an
enormous advantage to our business when we come up against local competitors."
"One of the unexpected benefits AccountMate has
provided Business Systems and Solutions are the marketing opportunities they
pass along to their resellers. Recently
a single case study about a Business Systems and Solutions customer was
profiled in Windows NT, SQL Server and Business Finance magazines, as well as
on the Microsoft, AccountMate and IBM web sites, at no cost to our business!
To have a potential customer read about their local consultant in a national
magazine, or to have them pull up a case study on Microsoft's website while you
are on the site is such a tremendous advantage when we are trying to close a
sale."
George Bergmark, President and CEO of Business Systems and Solutions
