Twinfield change partners for a new dance

Twinfield change partners for a new dance

By David Terrar on June 15, 2011

I was delighted to hear, early yesterday, that cloud accounting software provider Twinfield was acquired by Wolters Kluwer.  I have to disclose that my company, D2C, have been Twinfield’s UK partner since 2005 and so we have a vested interest in the success of the platform and some great customers and partnerships that have come […]

Fixed Assets an Important Piece of the Puzzle

Fixed Assets an Important Piece of the Puzzle

By Ben Kepes on March 11, 2009

According to some informed insiders, a fixed asset register is the second most requested features for one of the big three desktop accounting software companies, beaten only by advanced and highly flexible reporting . I’ve never really worked out why fixed assets aren’t covered by the incumbents, by my way of thinking it’s a legacy […]

Solo Mixes and Matches a Complete Brew

Solo Mixes and Matches a Complete Brew

By Ben Kepes on March 6, 2009

Of late I’ve come across a number of SaaS accounting products that offer themselves in a white-label version. The value for the vendor is obvious, they stand to gain from the extra reach of a partner, without having to market the product themselves. It also doesn’t get in the way of any specific marketing that […]

From Shoebox to Paperless, 22nd Century (?) Expense Management

From Shoebox to Paperless, 22nd Century (?) Expense Management

By Zoli Erdos on March 4, 2009

This is the time of the year many of you inevitably spend a weekend or so sorting the box-full of receipts you had collected throughout the year – you need to re-read them, try to remember details, categorize, sort, in preparation of either preparing your own Tax Return, or handing them over to your accountant. […]

Some Things Are Best Shoved Into a (Shoe)Box – FreshBooks, Outright and Shoeboxed

By Ben Kepes on March 3, 2009

I’m something of a realist – we live in a digital age but for whatever reason, be it audit control, risk aversion or ease of use, we all accumulate a mountain of paper receipts over time. I like services that help move the physical world into the virtual one. I was stoked then to hear […]

All’s Fair in Love and War – Ubikwiti Pushing Hard

All’s Fair in Love and War – Ubikwiti Pushing Hard

By Ben Kepes on March 2, 2009

I came across a press release (and oh how I love those) from SaaS business software platform Ubikwiti. In it they’re pushing hard to move users from Xero (or those considering using Xero) by saying; Why Pay $$s to Xero When You Can Have Ubikwiti for Zero $$s? From what I can see their offer […]

FastDue – Searching for Some Secret Sauce

FastDue – Searching for Some Secret Sauce

By Ben Kepes on February 23, 2009

There are two distinct product strategies that SaaS office productivity vendors can take. One is to encourage third parties to build complementary solutions to their own, and in this way create a multi-vendor ecosystem. In the business realm FreshBooks is a perfect example of this strategy. To succeed with this strategy, vendors need to have […]

What Does “Fully Featured” Really Mean?

By Ben Kepes on February 19, 2009

In my ongoing Accounting 2.0 series (tag here) I’ve been looking at the way SaaS accounting vendors describe their products. A vast number of vendors bandy terms like “fully featured package around”. Often times this is used to describe a product that fulfils a very discrete subset of the accounting function. Recently some comments around […]

33% Growth in 50 Days

By Ben Kepes on February 18, 2009

I’ll post more about this later but I just wanted to share the just-announced fact that Xero has added 1000 customers in the past 50 days. Bear in mind that their previous base was 3000 customers. CEO Rod Drury said that; Xero attributes part of its acceleration this year to two main factors: •  In […]

More Integration from those Charming Canucks

By Ben Kepes on February 17, 2009

I reviewed a little while ago IAC-EZ a start-up SaaS accounting offering that leverages the relatively huge and sophisticated FreshBooks customer base. Hot on the heels of that integration comes news that Clarity Accounting, another Canadian SaaS accounting company, has finished it’s integration with FreshBooks also To celebrate, those friendly FreshBooks people are offering Clarity […]

Adding Value (and Product) to Inventory

Adding Value (and Product) to Inventory

By Ben Kepes on February 13, 2009

The number of SaaS accounting offerings out there is growing by the day already the CloudAve AccountingThread runs to well over a dozen product reviews (as well as a bunch of guest posts and analysis pieces – check it out here). Despite this impressive showing, and perhaps indicative of the fact that the vendors are […]
