The
Company Behind the Product When it comes to evaluating accounting software, too many evaluators dive right into the product without giving a second thought to the company behind the product. It is not prudent to disregard the stability and future of the accounting software publisher. Customers who have traveled this path before know that when you select an accounting software package, the resulting relationship is akin to a marriage. Once the product is installed, the customer becomes dependent upon the accounting publisher to supply updates for payroll taxes, sales taxes, and depreciation rates. The customer must also rely on the vendor to fix bugs, provide support, and continually enhance the product to run on the latest platforms and technologies. Like it or not, the continued success of the accounting software publisher has a direct bearing on the customer's continued success with the accounting software product. The bottom line is that some accounting software vendors have figured out the magical formula for producing top quality products, successfully distributing those products directly or through a profitable dealer channel, and supporting those products in an timely matter - all while remaining profitable and achieving a high level of customer satisfaction. Those companies that fall into this category should rate higher in your evaluation and selection process. With this in mind, presented below is an brief overview of SouthWare - the company. About SouthWare SouthWare Innovations, Inc., is a privately-owned software development company located in the university town of Auburn, Alabama. SouthWare® develops, manufactures, markets, and supports the Excellence Series product line of business software which consists of 36 product modules. SouthWare® began in 1984 and since that time, SouthWare has assembled an active nationwide dealer base and has provided systems to more than 6,000 businesses. SouthWare’s stated mission is “to honor God and serve people by helping businesses achieve excellence”. They claim that “People and families should be valued in every decision”. SouthWare believes that they have a responsibility to their customers. The company is proud of the fact that over 80% of their employees have been with them for over 12 years. SouthWare claims to be very selective in recruiting resellers who have the ability and desire to provide long term, quality service. |
