BIOS: Technology Means Business

Avanquest UK has launched a ‘comprehensive’ series of software applications for the start-up, small business and SME into the channel.

The Small Business Manager Series (2007) delivers powerful benefits to maximise efficiency and productivity in the small business sector, according to the company.

The Small Business Manager Series (2007) has been specifically designed to fulfil the needs of businesses with 1 to 50 employees that are seeking an integrated solution to help manage a wide and ever increasing range of business tasks. These businesses, often hampered by the time-consuming, expensive and accounting-focused packages, now have the option to choose a suite of tools that ensure the small business is focused on moving forward and not on administration.

The new series is headed by Small Business Manager Suite 2007, comprising a fully integrated set of Vista-ready modules for accounting, customer management, business forecasting and online banking. Elements of the suite are also available as individual modules, yet capable of integrating seamlessly with each other, for businesses requiring only certain tools.

Small Business Manager Suite 2007 is a flexible and customisable solution that claims to simplify key business tasks, incorporating general ledger, accounts payable and receivable, invoice and estimate creation, as well as other tools, such as customer relationship management, financial reporting, sales forecasting, financial plan creation and inventory management.

Its key small business accounting feature speeds and simplifies the accounting process each month by automatically converting bank statements into accounting entries. Small Business Manager Suite 2007 takes a different approach to managing accounting by focusing on everyday transactions that automatically generate accounting records from the set of seamlessly integrated modules. Small Business Manager Suite 2007 guides you through each process with just a few clicks meaning no specific training or accounting knowledge is required.

The integrated modules are designed for flexibility and can be used individually or in combination. Utilising a single database, data exchange between the modules is seamless. The potential for manual errors is greatly reduced since users do not have to import data to or from other modules or re-enter the same data, formulas or formatting.

“Small businesses are searching for a flexible, functional solution that will quickly and painlessly help them manage daily tasks, supporting a company’s growth and evolution,” said Anne Anderson, Executive Vice President of Avanquest Software’s Productivity Division. “With its ease-of-use, depth of features and integrated components, Small Business Manager Suite 2007 fully meets these expectations so companies can capitalise on the power of automation to increase efficiency and remain focused on advancing their business to the next level.”

The Small Business Manager Series (2007) is simple to install and supports flexible multi-user licenses for greater data sharing capabilities, a major cost advantage for growing companies. Businesses can easily add new users to each module without having to purchase an entire new suite of licences, reinstall the software suite or experience the pressures associated with upgrading to a new system.

The Small Business Manager Series (2007) is available now from www.avanquest.co.uk/shop.
