There is a one accounting software company (I will call it Goliath) that has acquired several companies and requiring users to upgrade to their software within a reasonable time frame. Nothing wrong with that &#8211; I would do the same thing. <em>But their growth has made their tech support response time sink to dismal lows<\/em>, sometimes taking three days to get a call back. If you are using one of their &#8220;Legacy&#8221; programs they will tell you that they can convert your data. But so can many other accounting softwares. I recently did some research into one company, Foundation Software, that is an alternative to Goliath. If you are currently being forced to migrate or if you are a <em>Quickbooks<\/em> user you should consider this option. <strong>Foundation Sofware<\/strong> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.foundationsoft.com\/\">LINK<\/a>) is impressive with the ability to do all the things you would expect like multiple pay rates (for same person), certified payroll, flexible cost codes, reports and many module options. I sent in my request for a demo on their website and got a call the next morning and scheduled an online demo. I do not have an accounting background but Foundation was intuitive and the reports were easy to understand. I could learn this. Tech Support response time &#8211; 1\/2 hour and they have a slick way method of streamlining the support requests. But here is what floored me. The cost of the software. You don&#8217;t have to spend $40,000 and then fork out another $10,000-$20,000 in training fees. They are upfront on the cost utilizing a simple spreadsheet and it is a bargain. You could spend a quarter of what it costs for Goliath! They can migrate your existing data and can import HeavyBid and HeavyJob data. Tom Greco\u00a0that did my online demo agreed that I could use his name for a direct contact if you are interested in investigating Foundation Software.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tom Greco<\/strong><br \/>\nSales Representative<br \/>\n800.949.9620 ext.257<br \/>\ntjg@foundationsoft.com<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Currently the\u00a0accounting software market is in flux due to major players acquiring smaller accounting software companies.
