Intacct Named
â??Complex Accounting Made Easyâ?
San Jose, CA (March 13, 2007) –
Intacct Corporation, a leader in on-demand financial applications, today announced that Intacct Small Business has been recognized by Inc. Magazine as “Best for Replacing QuickBooks”. An article in the current issue titled “Winning the Numbers Game: Software to Boost the Bottom Line,” lauds Intacct Small Business, a web-based financial management application suite for, “its ability to handle complex and specialized accounting tasks automatically.”
“Inc. ranks #1 for top management and business purchase decision-makers with readers of all publications in the US,” said Mike Braun, CEO of Intacct Corporation. “Their endorsement is important to us, our prospects and our customers. We’re very proud of this recognition.”
“Why are so many companies looking to replace QuickBooks?” said Michael Mankowski, senior vice president at Tier1 Research, a division of the 451 group. “In a word: growth. Growing companies reach a point where multiple people need to collaborate on financial processes. The Internet allows for increased collaboration and applications that take advantage of that capability to gain a leg up on their rivals. Single user desktop versions of software like QuickBooks don’t provide that collaborative functionality. Geography is also an issue. Even small businesses today have employees located in many locations. A web delivered solution like Intacct provides easy access for everyone with the sophistication and controls needed at a low monthly price.”
Customers agree. “As a rapidly growing company, we were challenged to find a financial solution that would continue to meet our needs,” said Tim Dick, Vice Chairman of Hawaii Superferry. “With 10 employees rapidly growing to over 200, we had outgrown QuickBooks and needed sophisticated multi-user functionality across the entire value chain from purchasing to marketing and did not want the high acquisition and maintenance costs and overhead of owning and managing a traditional full-function ERP system such as Microsoft Dynamics that would have cost $100,000 up front. After an extensive evaluation, we chose Intacct over the alternative web based solution from NetSuite. Intacct’s accounting functionality was deeper and stronger, it is far easier to use and configure, and the support we received was excellent.”
