QuickBooks and Peachtree are excellent products for small companies, but as your company continues to grow, you may eventually need to consider moving to a more powerful solution, such as Macola Software's Macola 10.

At Gain Focus Technologies, our mission is to help our clients enhance their business processes through the implementation of technology solutions, making them more efficient and profitable as a result. We can help you review your needs to see if you need to start looking to upgrade your existing software solution.

The following are some danger singals that you are outgrowing or have already outgrown your existing solution:

• You are using a DOS based solution of any kind.

• You are using a "homegrown" solution where you are at extreme risk if your programmer or in-house developer decides to pursue other employment, retire, etc.

• You are experiencing data corruption errors such as btrieve error 002 in Peachtree or you are required to run data verify and rebuild too often in Quickbooks.

• You have a need for more than 3 or 4 users to be using the software simultaneously and you must frequently have people log off of your software in order to perform certain tasks.

• You need an eCommerce solution such as EDI or web-enabled ordering that interfaces fully with your accounting software without the need for re-keying data.

• You are developing the need for true manufacturing capabilities including material, machine and employee scheduling.

• You are a pharmaceutical firm or some other type of firm that is developing a need or already has a need for advanced Serial and/or Lot Tracking capabilities.

• You have multiple locations or employees that travel, but still need to access your system.

• You have a need for a web portal as a repository of information, with appropriate security, for your customers, vendors, employees and business partners.

If any of the above are true about your business, it may be time to consider alternatives. For those considering a new software solution, we also provide an excel spreadsheet that lists hundreds of software capabilities. You can then review this list and decide which capabilites are important to you. This is a vital step in assessing ANY new software solution.

We will repond by emailing you this tool for free and one of our staff will follow up with you to see how we may help you evaluate new solutions.

Worried about your exising data? Does the idea of manually keying in thousands of customers, vendors, and items make you want to throw up?

Not to worry, we can convert your legacy data from Peachtree, Quickbooks, or virtually any other data type.
