About Accounting Software
As today’s global marketplace becomes more sophisticated, the number and
complexity of mission-critical financial transactions that companies conduct on a day-
to-day basis continues to grow exponentially. Even small and mid-sized businesses
are plagued by a rapidly increasing volume of financial processes that are highly
intricate and multi-faceted. These activities, while important, are administrative in
nature and often distract staff from more strategic planning initiatives that directly
impact company prosperity and growth.

Additionally, as legislative pressures continue to grow, and the rules imposed by
Sarbanes Oxley, BASEL II, and other regulations become more stringent, businesses
need to find better ways to ensure compliance by effectively logging, tracking,
auditing, and reporting their financial data.

What is Accounting Software?
Accounting software is designed to automate the processing, recording, handling,
storage, and access of various types of business financial transactions and associated
information – improving efficiency, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness in finance and
accounting operations. It also gives companies a powerful mechanism for streamlining
their vital financial processes, as well as implementing formal procedures for the
collection, maintenance, and presentation of financial data.

Key Benefits for Your Company
An accounting software package can deliver significant value:
* Elimination of man-made errors, for improved accuracy and consistency of financial
data.
* Compliance with regulatory laws and guidelines through increased speed and
integrity of financial reporting.
* Enhanced efficiency of financial staff through replacement of cumbersome, paper-
heavy manual processes with fully automated activities.
* Greater revenue and business growth through improved visibility into financial
status, as well as more informed strategic financial planning.
* Increased ability to identify and leverage new revenue opportunities through in-
depth reporting and analysis.

Does My Company Need Accounting Software?
Every company in every industry can benefit greatly from an accounting software
package. Not only will accounting software help improve the way critical financial-related
processes are managed across the business – resulting in increased efficiency and
smoother execution of core business operations – it can help companies avoid the risks
and severe penalties associated with non-compliance with financial reporting laws and
guidelines.

Common Accounting Software Features
The accounting software packages on the market today provide a broad range of
capabilities designed to improve the way companies execute, manage, and monitor
their most important financial transactions. Most available offerings provide support for:

* Accounts receivable and debt collection. With accounting software, companies
can better track monies owed, payment due dates, and outstanding balances.
As a result, they can facilitate faster recognition of revenues and other income.
Additionally, past due balances and non-payments can dramatically impact cash flow
and related activities. With accounting software, companies can better understand
where outstanding debt exists and why, and accelerate time-to-collection.
* Accounts payable. Financial staff can more effectively manage bills, payments, and
monies owed by the company.
* General ledger. Accounting software systems can dramatically improve the way
a company manages its “books”, the primary, centralized log of all key financial
activities and information.
* Billing and invoicing. With accounting software, businesses can more rapidly
generate comprehensive invoices and account statements for clients.
* Purchase orders. An accounting software package can help procurement
professionals improve the efficiency and accuracy of purchase order creation. This
promotes better vendor relationships, while ensuring timely and effective ordering of
parts, components, and other supplies.
* Sales orders. Companies can automate and improve the way they process, fulfill, and
track customer orders.


* Reporting. Accounting software packages provide the ability to generate complete
balance sheets, profit and loss statements, and other standard financial reports.
Additionally, many of them offer ad hoc analysis capabilities, so financial
professionals can easily satisfy their own unique information needs.

What to Look for When Choosing an Accounting Software Package
Integration
Financial teams interact with other business units more frequently than any other
department. Therefore, seamless sharing of vital information is crucial to ensuring
smooth, problem-free transactions. The accounting software you choose must tightly
integrate with other business systems across your company. For example, your
accounting software must link directly to your inventory management and supply chain
systems, to ensure that sufficient stock levels are kept to meet all demands. And,
it should tie into sales force automation systems to guarantee accurate and timely
collaboration on forecasts.

Support for Industry-Specific Transactions
Some sectors, such as consulting and other service-intensive industries, face unique
challenges when it comes to managing accounting and finance operations. While off-
the-shelf accounting software solutions will satisfy the needs of most businesses, those
that have unique vertically-oriented requirements should consider choosing a vendor
with a pre-packed application specifically for their industry, or one that has extensive
experience working with similar companies.

Advanced Features
Not all accounting software solutions offer the same level of functionality. Some provide
support for advanced financial transactions, such as employee expense management,
budget management at the departmental level, payroll and time sheet management,
and purchase requisition management. If your company requires features such
as these, be sure to work closely with your vendor to ensure that the appropriate
capabilities are in place.

About UNIT4 Business Software
UNIT4 is a global business software company that creates, delivers and supports
adaptable software and services worldwide, to help dynamic organizations manage their
business needs effectively. They strive to set the global standard for business solutions
that help dynamic organizations to embrace change – simply, quickly and cost effectively.

UNIT4 has offices worldwide, supporting thousands of customers and partners, across
all sectors, in all regions of the world. They have a broad portfolio of leading change-
embracing software brands, including the Agresso Business World ERP suite and the
Coda financial management suite. In North America, they also offer specialized solutions
for the Travel Industry and for the Higher Education sector, combining their comprehensive
integrated ERP modules with tools specific to the unique needs of these sectors.

UNIT4 Business Software Key Features
Agresso Business World offers a fully integrated Core Financial/ERP system specifically
designed for organizations (service oriented/public sector/higher education) that require a
flexible solution which adapts to ongoing, rapid business change.

Agresso is unique in the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) industry for its primary
strength, post-implementation agility, or the ability to make changes to the ERP system
AFTER it has been implemented.

Almost all major ERP software solution vendors offer limitless flexibility PRIOR to
implementation. But once their systems are in place, customers are locked into the
system configuration that reflects their requirements at the moment of go live. Any
significant change to the configuration typically requires expensive IT or external
consultant resources.

Agresso is ideal for organization facing common business environment challenges
including:
* Financial management change
* Reorganization Restructuring
* Mergers Acquisitions
* System Business Scalability


* New Regulatory Requirements
* Business process/workflow changes
* Ad hoc reporting requirements

UNIT4 Business Software Product Highlights
* Agresso Business World gives organizations the ability to interactively blend your
business and analysis model with the organization’s process model, giving your
people the information needed to increase the value of your service delivery process.
* Agresso Business World provides the flexibility you need to create performance
metrics reflecting the reality of your business and provides accuracy in showing how
the organization is performing.
* Post-Implementation Agility differentiates Agresso from its competitors, providing
organizations with the ability to adapt and grow without any limitations from your ERP
Solution.
* Agresso’s long shelf life saves businesses the cost and trouble associated with re-
implementation or replacement of an existing ERP system.

UNIT4 Business Software Technology
UNIT4 Business Software’s VITA architecture combines the data, process and
information delivery models into a single cohesive unit. A change made in any one
of these areas automatically flows intelligently and makes associated changes and
adjustments throughout the system. And that change does not need to be redone or re-
checked for accuracy anywhere else with their business management software.

Every technical decision was made in the context of ultimate flexibility so users
could continually change the system and change it back again without disruption or
destabilizing their system.

About Pronto Software
For over 30 years, Pronto Software has been working closely with their clients to create
business software that helps them get the absolute best out of their business. Pronto
Software’s vision has always been to deliver tools that allow you to excel and prosper
in whichever field you are in – from mining to manufacturing, distribution to retail and
services. In fact, their software includes functionality based on years of listening to
feedback from customers just like you.

This makes Pronto Software a little bit unique. They’re aware that their industry is
pretty overwhelming. It’s full of complex jargon, loads of statistics and figures, unlikely
situations and best practice scenarios. It’s a world of one-size-fits-all products.

Pronto Software likes to think they’re a little more human than that. So, instead of ‘best
practice’, they like to practice listening. Your business is their business, so they’ll make
sure that, rather than offering you anything off the shelf, they’ll listen to exactly what it is
you need. By understanding where you are, they can understand where they can take
you.

Next, they adapt what they already have to make sure it fits your business perfectly.
They know that the best solutions are the product of revisions and improvements, fine-
tuning and perfecting. That’s why Pronto Software’s support services are always on
hand to field questions and spot opportunities. To back them up, they’ve also built up
an online knowledge base, with contributions from staff, industry experts, and Pronto Xi
customers.

Finally, Pronto Software reveals a solution that they know will help you take your
business to the next level. Their easy-to-use software, fully integrated with IBM Cognos
business intelligence technology, allows you to monitor and control every aspect of
your business, from top floor to shop floor. You’ll improve productivity, customer service,
and inventory accuracy. You’ll keep track of what’s making you money, and where the
opportunities lie.

So, welcome to Pronto. They hope it’s the beginning of yet another great relationship.


Pronto Software Key Features

Software has developed the fundamental platform for Pronto Xi, a core framework that
can expand and grow as you do.

Extra Intelligence - Boost your business IQ
When juggling the myriad demands of a business, it’s easy to overlook the finer details
