Pur-Logic Solutions in Mississauga Opens to Serve Small & Mid-Sized Businesses in Need of Accounting, HR and Operational Automation

New Sage Reseller Pur-Logic Solutions brings a highly personalized approach to implementation, customization, and training for Sage Accpac ERP, BusinessVision, SageCRM and HRMS

Mississauga, Canada – September 14, 2010 – Mississauga-based Pur-Logic Solutions (http://www.pur-logicsolutions.com) announced today that it is officially open for business as Ontario’s newest Sage Authorized Business Partner.

Pur-Logic Solutions offers customized business software solutions based on Sage Accpac ERP, BusinessVision, SageCRM, and HRMS to companies interested in automating business processes. “Every business stands to benefit from better integration between accounting, operations, and sales,” says Fay Salmonson, Pur-Logic Solutions co-founder. “It’s not uncommon to see many small and mid-sized businesses enjoy as much as 25% in time and cost savings when key business processes are automated.”

Chartered accountant, Mohamed Dostmohamed, and John Todd, a computer technologist with over 25 years experience, unite with Salmonson to realize a shared vision of providing customized Sage solutions and support in a competitive market. All three of Pur-Logic’s founders are certified Sage sales or implementation consultants with multiple Sage product lines including Accpac, BusinessVision, SageCRM, and HRMS. According to Todd, personalized service is what makes Pur-Logic a highly valuable technology partner. “We never recommend off-the-shelf software unless it’s the most suitable and economical option,” Todd explains. “What’s more, we work hard to understand our clients’ specific requirements before tailoring a straightforward solution. Simplicity is key to efficiency and ROI when implementing an advanced business software solution,” he adds.

The company also represents many specialized third party software applications developed for companies in manufacturing, field services, distribution, and web technology. Software resale firm Robert Lavery & Associates, which represents several third party software products sold through Sage partners in North America, confirms Pur-Logic’s ability to implement cost-efficient solutions for customers. “I have worked with the team on numerous Accpac deployments,” asserts company president Lavery. “Each time they excelled at delivering highly automated, money-saving solutions.”

Dostmohamed says the essential difference between Pur-Logic Solutions and other business software resellers is the combined expertise and knowledge the company’s founders have accumulated from years of industry experience. “Our Sage implementations have been very successful because we take time to understand how our customers operate before recommending a solution,” he says. “Our strength lies in an ability to create functional integrations between diverse software platforms, speed up bottlenecks, and minimize errors due to excessive manual data entry.”

In addition to working throughout Canada in both English and French, the founders have experience implementing Sage solutions internationally as far away as Africa and the Caribbean. “We go where our customers need the functionality of a world-class business software solution like Sage,” Salmonson says.

Pur-Logic Solutions’ office is located at 2 Robert Speck Parkway, 7th Floor, Mississauga, ON.

Southeast Computer Solutions Rises in AccountingToday’s VAR 100 List Second Year in a Row

Sage business software reseller Southeast Computer Solutions reaches 75 on the VAR 100 list of top business technology consulting firms in the nation with solid growth in South Florida and the Caribbean

Miami, Florida – August 25, 2010 – Southeast Computer Solutions (www.southeastcomputers.com/), a Miami based consulting firm specializing in Sage business software and implementations, has made it to 75 on the VAR 100, which is a ranking of the top 100 business software consulting firms in the nation by revenue.

The VAR 100 list is produced by AccountingToday each year to highlight the most successful VARs, or value-added resellers, offering mid-level business software such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM) and other office productivity enhancing applications. The 2010 VAR 100 list was released August 23rd.

This year marks the fifth time in six years that Southeast Computer Solutions has made the VAR 100. The Miami Consulting firm moved up nine positions to 75 from 84 in 2009, a feat not lost on Sonia Ferrera, the firm’s president and founder. “We are delighted to have posted our best performance on the VAR 100 list yet,” Ferrera says. “While revenue growth was sluggish in the U.S. due to the recession, we continue to see better results from the Caribbean and Latin America markets.”

Southeastern Computer Solutions has been engaged in a steady expansion over the last five years and ranks among the top Sage resellers in the U.S. every year. “Because we represent the MAS product line as well as Sage CRM and Accpac ERP, we’re able to tailor solutions to fit our customers’ needs rather than the other way around,” says Ferrera. “This customer-focused approach and our success in the Caribbean and Latin American markets have been fundamental to our success for several years running. We’re looking forward to continued growth in the upcoming year.”

XM Oxygen SaaS eCommerce Solution Chosen to Streamline Web Store Operations for Free Hot Water

XM Developments implements its XM Oxygen, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) eCommerce solution, for manufacturer and distributor of solar thermal systems, Free Hot Water, to meet its growing demand from solar thermal distributors and installer partners

Vancouver, Canada – August 17, 2010 – XM Developments – North America (http://www.xmdevelopments.com/) just completed an implementation of its eCommerce solution, XM Oxygen, for national solar thermal manufacturer and distributor, Free Hot Water, which is based in San Jose, California.

According Paul Burrowes, co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of Free Hot Water (http://freehotwater.com/), the company’s prior website did not integrate to its Sage Accpac ERP accounting software. “Free Hot Water has increased solar distributors and installer partners to a point where order processing needs to be managed more efficiently and effectively,” says Burrowes. “The XM Oxygen eCommerce solution has greatly helped our installer partners order exactly what they need, when they need it, while at the same time writing those orders into our accounting software real-time so we can fill them more quickly than ever before.”

The increasing amount of B2B sales transactions conducted over the Internet has accelerated the need for eCommerce solutions like XM Oxygen. “What Free Hot Water was seeking was a web store solution that had a far deeper level of back office integration than traditional mid-market eCommerce offerings,” notes Jim McLean, President of XM Developments – North America. “They recognized the value in offering their customers the ability to transact with them in real-time, over the Internet, at any time of the day or night to place orders, track order/shipment status, and to view detailed account transaction information. What’s more, because XM Oxygen is a SaaS solution, we ensured Free Hot Water avoided a costly, time-consuming deployment,” McLean adds.

E2E Management (http://www.e2emanagement.com/), the business software firm which consulted with Free Hot Water on the selection and installation of XM Oxygen, knew that deployment speed and depth of integration were critical issues for Free Hot Water. Rick Chase, President of E2E Management, says: “Our only focus is to help clients obtain applications that best adapt to their business process needs, not the other way around. With many eCommerce applications taking weeks, if not months, to implement, we recommended XM Oxygen because it’s the only eCommerce solution that can be set up in a day yet still provide automated and seamless integration to Sage Accpac.”

Before the implementation of XM Oxygen, Free Hot Water had to carefully coordinate changes to online inventory and pricing in the Accpac accounting software and web store. “Free Hot Water is now able to manage its inventory and pricing in one place, eliminating the need for duplicate data entry and chance of disconnected data between systems,” says McLean. “The real-time, bi-directional updating of information between XM Oxygen and Accpac means Free Hot Water will be able to lower its staffing costs while ensuring even greater order accuracy.”

“We believe XM Oxygen will enable Free Hot Water to continue to grow its online business well into the future,” Burrowes says.

About XM Developments International

With such marquee customers as Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE: KO), NEC (OTC: NIPNF) and Pfizer (NYSE: PFE), XM Development’s Founders Blair Watkins and Brooke Anderson bring their critically acclaimed eCommerce tool, XM Oxygen, a culmination of five years development, to the North American Sage business partner channel. XM Oxygen is a SaaS eCommerce solution providing seamless integration between the Internet and Sage Accpac.

CareWare Systems Takes Lead in Job Costing Solutions for Construction, Engineering and Manufacturing in Malaysia

Sage reseller in Malaysia prepares for 20th implementation of Sage Accpac ERP’s project and job costing solution for global engineering firm KTA Tenaga

Petaling Jaya, Malaysia – August 2, 2010 – CareWare Systems Sdn Bhd, a Sage business software reseller based in Malaysia, is preparing to implement its 20th Sage Accpac ERP project and job costing solution for KTA Tenaga, a global engineering firm with offices in Malaysia and Abu Dhabi. The latest sale of Sage Accpac makes CareWare one of the largest resellers of project and job costing solutions in all of Asia.

The number of Malaysian firms competing for construction and engineering projects across Asia has increased in recent years. According to Robert Tan, managing partner of CareWare Systems, one of the best ways Malaysian companies can gain a true competitive edge is by implementing world-class ERP software (enterprise resource planning) with integrated project and job costing functionality. “An uncertain economy and greater global competition has many engineering and construction firms looking for the most accurate and timely business information possible,” says Tan. “An ERP package with a fully integrated project and job costing module provides the insight many firms need to control costs, manage subcontractors and create competitive bid proposals for future work,” says Tan.

KTA Tenaga wanted customizable ERP software that could also seamlessly manage its future international growth and internal reporting needs, which is why the firm selected Sage Accpac from among several other well-known ERP applications. “The strength of Sage Accpac is in its ability to integrate data from across the organization so that decision-makers have the information they need real-time,” says Tan. “Sage Accpac synchronizes and shares data across all departments and parties such as procurement, accounts payable, invoicing, operations, and management.”

One of the reasons why CareWare has developed a leadership position in selling ERP for construction and engineering firms is the deep industry expertise of its consultants and add-on applications it has developed to help its customers gain additional operational efficiency. “What separates us from many software resellers is the completeness of our project and job costing software solution,” Tan notes. “We developed additional functionality to AP in order to help our customers manage subcontractors. We also built a more robust offering around intercompany and project purchasing consolidation as well as business intelligence and CRM integration.”

CareWare has experienced a double digit increase in sales compared to this time last year. According to Tan, not only has growth come from project and job costing consulting but also from manufacturing and business intelligence deployments. “We’re looking at the possibility of having to hire additional consultants to help with the growth,” Tan says. “With the world economic recovery looking brighter, many Malaysian companies are looking to Sage Accpac and CareWare for the competitive edge they need. We are pleased to be part of the formula for long-term success of so many growing companies.”

About CareWare Systems

Through its partnership with Sage, CareWare Systems helps small and mid-size companies in Malaysia reach productivity levels at the top of their respective industries. CareWare represents a variety of business management software including Sage Accpac ERP, SageCRM, and MISys Manufacturing Software. For companies interested in growth, profitability and superior software support, CareWare is the Sage business partner for you.

The Sage Closer Launches ERP MediaBlitz for Sage Partners and Technology Media

Sage Preferred Vendor offers comprehensive new media service to promote Sage partners to their customers, prospects and media

Austin, Texas – June 8, 2010 – The Sage Closer, a Sage Preferred Vendor based in Austin, launched a new public relations service at www.ERPMediaBlitz.com intended to help Sage partners generate interest from customers, prospects, and media in their software and services.

According the Dave Manzer, founder of The Sage Closer, he saw a need for a more integrated approach to helping Sage partners build brand awareness, website traffic and sales pipelines. “ERP MediaBlitz combines the best aspects of press releases, media outreach, and search engine optimization to drive opportunities for Sage resellers,” he says. “As a Preferred Vendor, it’s my job to ensure Sage partners have the most effective marketing tools available to give them a competitive edge over other software resellers.”

Manzer believes the value of ERP MediaBlitz is in how it can accomplish many marketing goals with just one service. “We begin by writing high-impact press releases on a monthly basis that position a Sage partner’s marketing message in a very compelling way,” he explains. “We then post the press releases to ERP MediaBlitz on a media page dedicated to the Sage partner, which ultimately results in a continuous stream of SEO-friendly backlinks to the Sage partner’s website. Any web traffic on ERP MediaBlitz also funnels back to the website of the Sage partner, creating opportunities for lead capture and lead nurturing.”

ERP MediaBlitz is not simply a lead generation and brand awareness tool for Sage resellers. Manzer intends to make ERP MediaBlitz a resource for technology media as well. “Sage is a global brand and many journalists and bloggers seek information concerning the software company and its reseller channel,” notes Manzer. “We intend to send out news announcements to media properties such as WebCPA, TMCnet, and bizjournals as well as offer RSS feeds to any interested subscribers. The upside for Sage partners is that news coverage becomes a powerful way to build their brand awareness and create a leadership image,” he adds.

Future plans for ERP MediaBlitz include adding a whitepaper download on each customer’s dedicated media page as well as a Twitter feed. “Offering a whitepaper means we’ll attract potential leads based on highly relevant content,” Manzer points out. “When visitors download a whitepaper, we’ll capture their contact information and pass it along to the appropriate Sage partner to follow up. Since qualified leads are hard to come by, ERP MediaBlitz will help Sage partners discover new opportunities for software sales.”
