Small Business Accounting Software

Without a doubt, small businesses are the lifeblood of the American economy. Currently, small businesses account for the largest employment sector, as well as the most profit per capita among all of the companies in America. That's an important point, especially considering the glamour and prestige lump upon Fortune 500 companies.

But small businesses do have some limitations. Capital is typically not as available to them. Often, their ability to compete is strained by lack of this capital. Yet on the other hand, small business in America consists of some of the most agile entrepreneurs the world has ever seen.

At the core of every successful small business however, is good accounting. With the right financial accounting software, taxes can be reduced, in investors can be attracted, and the bottom line is kept completely in focus. Adopting a truly dynamic small business accounting software is critical to keeping the bottom line in check. The CYMA Financial Management System (FMS) is just that - a high-end system developed with the small business budget in mind.

High-end features, attractive price

Although there a wide variety of small business accounting software products available on the Web today, many of these are far from customized. In fact, the out of box nature of most small business accounting software systems available today is often their biggest weakness - especially when any form of specialization is required. Frankly, for many midsize companies, the systems are far from useful. In fact, if your financial accounting features even a small amount of complexity, nine out of 10 of these small business accounting software products fail.

What you may need is a solution with real high-end features, ones that can be customized to your business is financial needs including enterprise resource planning, payroll solutions, and accounts payable and receivable functions. The CYMA Financial Management System (FMS) is that product.

The difference is clear: the CYMA Financial Management System (FMS) is a small business ready accounting software with high-end features at a very competitive price. Making the jump from small business accounting software to a mid range software typically includes a massive difference in cost. For the small to midsized growing business, these high-end accounting software applications are often out of reach. If your small business is one which cannot afford a $25,000 application fee plus maintenance costs often three times that amount over a period of five years, you may be considering one of these high-end accounting software products.

But why contribute to the profit margins of a Fortune 500 company when you can get the same features, dynamic benefits, and the ability to customize which you would not get from these large companies simply by choosing the CYMA Financial Management System (FMS). With module costs starting at $595, you receive all the high-end features of these expensive small business accounting software applications without the incredible price.

Choosing a small business accounting software to keep track of your financials is important financial decision in itself. This is why Accounting Software Group offers a free downloadable demo of the CYMA Financial Management System (FMS). The system is easy to use, and can be quickly downloaded and installed on a Microsoft Windows PC. In fact, you can be using the CYMA Financial Management System (FMS) often within five minutes of download. How many Fortune 500 accounting software products can claim that?

Salesforce Opens Platform To Web, Social Networking

By Kevin McLaughlin, ChannelWeb

Salesforce.com on Monday unveiled a new service that lets customers run their own Web applications on its software as a service platform, as well as a partnership with Facebook that lets developers weave social networking features into enterprise apps.

Speaking at the opening of the DreamForce 2008 conference in San Francisco, Salesforce.com Chairman and CEO Marc Benioff announced Force.com Sites, an offering that lets customers run their Web sites, intranets, portals, and Web applications in Salesforce's cloud.

Benioff described Force.com Sites as "a great extension to our platform," and noted that Salesforce customers have developed around 85,000 custom built applications on the Salesforce platform to date.

"This should be as much of a transformation for your company as Salesforce.com was when you initially brought it in," Benioff said. Force.com Sites is now available as a developer preview, and Salesforce plans to make it generally available sometime in 2009.

Despite the popularity of social networking, the technology has yet to be embraced by businesses, and some companies even view Facebook as a drain on productivity. But that, too, is changing, according to Benioff, who brought Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg onstage to explain the details of the new Salesforce-Facebook partnership.

Salesforce developers will have expanded access to Facebook APIs, giving them the ability to create on demand apps to reach Facebook's rapidly growing audience, which has swelled to 120 million users, including 30 million users since July, according to Sandberg.

As more businesses look to find ways to use Facebook within the scope of their operations, opportunities for developers to build customized productivity and enterprise applications are on the rise, said Sandberg. "We believe there's a real need for this," she said.

Benioff hailed Microsoft's announcement last week of its own cloud based operating system, Windows Azure, as proof of the trend toward platforms moving to the cloud. However, in a move that was about as surprising as the sun rising in the east, Benioff couldn't resist taking a few shots at the software giant.

"Somehow [Windows Azure is] going to work better than Vista, we don't exactly know," Benioff joked.

Later, Benioff said Force.com Sites provides a much needed alternative for developers building custom applications using Microsoft's budding collaboration platform. "A lot of you are building Sharepoint and other apps, and all kinds of other terrible stuff I don't want to mention. Honestly, I was worried for you," Benioff said.

Salesforce is on track to pull in $1 billion in revenue for the first time in its history, but Salesforce CFO Graham Smith last month alluded to a possible looming price war in the SaaS space. NetSuite last month launched a campaign to attract Salesforce customers with discounts in exchange for dumping Salesforce.
