Targeted
to small to medium-sized companies
with up to $250
Million in revenues.
Mature
product. ACCPAC has a long and successful track record, especially in
Canada. With ACCPAC there is very little risk of needing to convert to a
new system because the system is no longer supported.
Browser-based. ACCPAC is one of the first products to only require a
browser for the entire application. Although the browser is a bit slow for
office use, it is ideal for remote access. ACCPAC has flexibility to
enable some users to access via a browser while others access through the
LAN.
Reseller channel. ACCPAC has an extensive choice of resellers and
implementers to choose from globally, and especially in Canada.
Third
Party Products. There is an extensive list of third party products
that have been tightly integrated and complement ACCPAC. ACCPAC provides
API's (Application Programming Interface) so that developers can update
ACCPAC data and use ACCPAC validation rules to ensure data integrity.
Scalable. You can start with Pervasive SQL as the database engine and
grow into Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle or DB2.
Investment protection.
The product line comes in four "editions" that enable companies to move up
to greater functionality as their needs and budgets allow. No database
migration or relearning of software is needed since all editions are
formed on the same code base.
Excel.
ACCPAC uses Excel for financial report writing, and Excel is the tool of
choice for accountants.
Crystal Reports. ACCPAC uses Crystal Reports for generic reporting.
Crystal is the leading report writer, and can be used to change existing
reports and make new ones.
Wide
functionality. ACCPAC includes financials, distribution, Canadian and
US payroll, Customer Relationship Management, and Warehouse Management,
Point of Sale, Human Resources, EDI and eCommerce.
Linux.
ACCPAC runs on Windows or Linux.
Multiple Platforms. ACCPAC runs on different databases and operating
systems.
International product.
ACCPAC can be used in multinational offices and
supported by local VARs globally with multilingual
and multicurrency functionality to meet the needs of companies operating
in the global marketplace.
Business Intelligence. ACCPAC has recently released CFO (Comprehensive
Financial Optimizer) and Insight and is about to release Sales Optimizer.
CFO allows you to perform a business health test based on financial
information to see what has been done well (and not so well) over the year
financially and what needs to be improved. The system will show how a few
small changes can make a huge difference to the bottom line or cash flow.
Insight is an extension of Excel allowing you to generate reports from
multiple data sources, and includes consolidation reporting, drill down,
and publishing reports to the internet. Sales Optimizer is an OLAP (On
Line Analytical Processing) tool that will allow you to slice and dice
sales information across multiple dimensions.
Customer Relationship Management. On May 12, 2003, ACCPAC released
ACCPAC CRM 5.5, the latest version of its customer relationship management
(CRM) application for small and mid-size businesses (SMBs). ACCPAC CRM 5.5
includes a new user interface, many enhancements to its Sales Force,
Marketing and Customer Care functions, as well as introduces expanded
e-mail support for most e-mail systems including Lotus Notes, Microsoft
Outlook and Eudora. Version 5.6 released in November 2003, which includes
2 way synchronization with Outlook and the ability to easily toggle
between Outlook and ACCPAC CRM.
