Solution Providers
Entry Level Accounting Solutions
Entry level solutions are for a small business of one to five active users with limited accounting needs, but the desire to have true financial accountability and reporting. These solutions have the widest installed user base and offer a full range of features and functions.
|
Small to Medium Business (SMB)
The SMB market place serves businesses with 5-25 users with more demanding transaction and reporting needs. These solutions typically support more functionality and a broader range of reporting. The underlying database is more robust ,and therefore, these products are more scalable and able to take the business to its next level.
Mid-Range Accounting
Note that many of the products shown above also fit this range. Product fit is often based on number of active users, number of transactions processed, and the need to specialized features, such as multi-currency and multi-language support. These products are considered to have many of the more advanced features as well as being highly scalable. Mid-Range solutions often fit companies of 25-100 users.
Small to Medium Enterprise (SME) Accounting Solutions
Enterprise solutions typically target large organizations of 100 users or more. The feature set and functionality of these systems is advanced and very robust, so specialized businesses, such a process based manufacturing, large scale project management, of as few as five users, could benefit from these applications.
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Solutions
ERP has been the buzzword at the pinnacle of accounting for many decades. At one time, ERP meant specialized modules for Human Resources, Customer Relationship Management, Warehousing and Distribution. Today, all the solutions in the Enterprise market and most of the Mid-Range and SMB solutions have strong offerings in these areas. Where these were once a half-dozen competitors in the Fortune Five Thousand market, today there are only a few giants remaining.
Business Analytics - Business Intelligence & Reporting
Business Analytics and Reporting are extremely important in any business. Many software manufacturers offer specific products to accomplish this, as well as products that are independent of specific accounting applications. The list below represents a short list of the top solutions in this classification.
Sales Tax
Sales Tax compliance tools assist executives and financial managers with sales tax computation, return preparation, and filing and remittance. With many states adopting the Streamline Sales Tax law (which requires out of state vendors to charge sales tax based on the recipient's tax jurisdiction instead of the shipper's location), small businesses can easily be required to file sales tax returns in 20 or more jurisdictions.
Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and contact management tools allow teams to track customer interaction, monitor employee activity, and generate routine correspondence to customers.
Specialty Needs and Add-on Solutions
There are a number of applications which do not fit neatly into a specific category, but which offer unique and important services to users. We have collected a number of these which we discuss in more detail in our seminars, but wanted to include associated links and information for our attendees, as well as visitors to our site.
