X2XConnect Launches Today

Launch page
By Hazem Khairi

AccSoft Business Solutions is proud to present a revolutionary new solution X2XConnect to extend your e-commerce and accounting functionalities.

AccSoft X2XConnect is a cutting-edge middleware application that allows you to integrate Microsoft Dynamics GP with Magento e-commerce program, and vice versa.

X2XConnect is compatible with all versions of Magento e-commerce (Magento GO, Community, Enterprise and Enterprise + ) and works with Dynamic GP 10, 2010 and 2010 R2.

Unlike the orthodox connectors available in the market which only provide limited features of connecting and transferring the data to and from Magento and your ERP software, the X2XConnect is a feature-rich multi-module Middleware application with an exquisite and user friendly GUI. Not only does it allow you to upload the web data from Dynamics GP and download the orders from Magento into GP, but also contains modules which updates most of the  information on your Magento Web store without the use of Magento Admin Panel.

With this connector, you will be able to synchronize various types of data between your accounting system with your e-commerce site with minimal effort; such as
  • Inventory levels
  • Item Information
  • Item Images
  • Category Information
  • Prices
  • Discounts
  • Promotions
  • and so much more!
Utilizing intuitive controls, X2XConnect is an easy to use, user-friendly application that can dramatically reduce the time and effort it takes to keep your separate systems up-to-date and synchronized.

X2XConnect in action
Best of all, the middleware does not require you to login to either Microsoft Dynamics GP or Magento in order to work. This would prove beneficial to GP users who have a set number of concurrent users.



X2XConnect doubles as a powerful analysis tool for your e-commerce solution. It keeps track and further analyze the data synchronized between Microsoft Dynamics GP and Magento; giving you a better view of your business.
 
Check out the launch page for X2XConnect here, or the link at the top of this post.

Categorize your Posts on Blogger

By Hazem Khairi
 
          Using labels on Blogger need not be an ordeal.

I'm sure that you have looked around countless blogs and forum posts - as I once had done- seaching for this seamingly insignificant function. I was not prepared, however, for all the complicated Jscript/html/widgit/voodoo coding and tinkering!
 
Luckily, there is a much, much easier way to show all posts with the same label on one page; and have a simple URL linking directly to it.

First of all, I'm assuming that you are using labels to categorize your posts; they work the same way as tags on YouTube. You can check more information about labels here.

Now that your posts are properly labeled, we can start categorizing your posts.

It's infuriantingly simple. All you need to do is type the following URL:

http://YOUR-BLOG-NAME.COM/search/label/YOUR-LABEL

Simply substitute the name of your blog and the name of the label you wish to display. For example, I used the same method to link all the videos in this blog directly from our website using the following link: http://accsoft-business.blogspot.ca/search/label/video

I hope this has been helpful, thanks for reading.

How to Pick Financial Software – Things to consider in deciding ‘What's Best for Your Business’


By Chris Alexander


 “What’s best for my business” – Things to consider when picking a financial software solution



Financial software plays a vital role in the operations of any organization, but especially for the small and medium sized enterprises. For those organizations, even small oversights can have devastating effects, as every dollar counts. As such, it becomes a vital necessity to keep record of all financial activities occurring within your organizations.

Not only would a well-maintained financial software prevent those errors, but it would further secure your business’s financial position in the eyes of its stakeholders and clients.  The financial software ultimately assists you in managing, controlling and monitoring your business in an effective and efficient manner, giving you the insight to make better decisions that will affect your business. The questions that arise now are: How do you select the software that is right for your small business, and what features and functionality do you need?

What does your business ‘basically’ need?

There are numerous small business financial software packages in the market that have multiple features included to help you. They run from basic accounting packages to full blown ERP solutions that cover everything from the core financials right through sales processes, human resources and payroll.   Having an in depth understanding of the financial process flows and requirements when it comes to reporting are basic necessities. Beyond these, your imagination is the limit – some of today’s packages can include 50 + modules to make the day to day operation of your business as simple or complex as you need it them to be.

One must be careful when deciding which package is sized correctly for their business, choosing too complex a solution or too simple can have lasting ramifications including slow acceptance amongst users or further capital expenditures and time lost having to upgrade from a “too simple” package to an appropriately sized one.  In short, there are pitfalls and it makes sense to engage a professional to assist you in determining which package is right for your business.

Is there a standard solution provided by each financial software vendor?

The answer to this one is… yes…and no.  There are as many vendors in the market as there are specific solutions that satisfy a particular or specialized need.  There are a few packages, including Microsoft’s Dynamics line that provide users with a comprehensive package of models that are aimed at the majority of business needs and are upgradeable to cover the special needs that your business may have.   The advantage to choosing an ERP consultant/solution specialist is that they are more likely to be better able to guide you through the myriad of choices and wrap their specialized services around the chosen solution, giving you the best package for your business.

Breaking the Bank & Other Myths…

By Chris Alexander

The communications/IT revolution has changed the way we live, work, study and how we interact with people around us and with the world at large. The advent of the internet was the first step and with the passage of time, the world has become a more open place. The advent of social media was another major change in this ever changing and fast paced world which has brought us in to what has become a Global village.

This change has affected the core of our social fabric, the voices of the masses cannot be supressed anymore and that has resulted in fall of decades long dynasties in different parts of the world. When it comes to dynasties, it was not only the political dynasties which fell apart but also various seemingly untouchable businesses as well.  Conglomerates were unable to carry their own weight and fell into pieces; the case of Nortel still reverberates today.

On one side, the change has shaken some long standing, iconic businesses. Conversely the change has empowered individuals and small businesses to stand up and compete with business hundreds of times bigger than themselves. A web store, for example, allows both a small and a large size company to compete in the same market place with sometimes smaller companies having more advantage of adjusting themselves to the customer needs faster than the large, bureaucratic organization.

In much the same way, this new technology has empowered the SMB business organization to have access to robust and efficient business solution systems that are absolutely essential for their existence if they want to survive in competition with the other large players in their market. The fact that these larger organizations, having the ability to afford and use powerful business solutions to help them increase efficiency, reduce waste, respond to customer needs in time and manage their resources including  their inventory…  have given these organization an edge over the competition.

Gone are the days when you have to “break the bank” or have to incur huge upfront costs to be able to afford powerful and robust business solutions. With the advent of cloud computing, businesses can access subscription based access to financial software instead of incurring huge upfront licensing and implementation costs to buy the software, as well as paying for the infrastructure to house it.  This allows them to conserve already scarce cash resources, and allow them to be invested back into the business.

Though the cloud computing has enabled companies to save the upfront software cost, the fact remains that and equal part of the software implementation cost which has to be incurred upfront. Though by and large it holds true but some companies, like AccSoft, taking cognizance of the reality of today’s world have started offering a bundled solution with both the software and setting up cost spread over a period of time to make it affordable for all size of companies to reap the benefits and pleasure of success by staying on top of competition.
