>>Accountek Releases
Connected Version 6
October 29, 2008 (TORONTO, CANADA) Accountek
Solutions, Inc., worldwide distributors of the Connected
Accounting Software, are proudly announcing the major
version release of Connected 6.
Amongst the many notable new features in Connected 6
are the addition of custom sales fields and custom purchase
order fields. Users can customize Connected like never
before by defining these custom fields, adding transaction
specific data, and adding them to their printed forms.
Connected 6 marks another substantial achievement in
the product's lifecycle. Over the past twelve months there
have been over 60 new feature additions over several releases,
including major order entry and manufacturing enhancements.
The majority of all features are based on direct feedback
from Connected users. "We believe the key to successful
product development is to continually engage and listen
to our users so that we can shape the product based on
their practical business needs", says Eden-Scott
Reid, Director of Marketing.
"Connected 6 has moved the product further than
ever before by giving users more ability to customize
the program to meet their specific needs. For example,
a single customer invoice can now combine over 31 custom
fields on a single printed invoice" says Eden Scott-Reid.
"We have also adjusted the program interface to take
further advantage of Mac OS Leopard, giving the program
an even better Mac look and feel than it had before".
Another innovative new feature involves the addition
of a Purchase Orders tab within the customer order screen.
This new tab easily allows a user to see information related
to purchase orders created for a specific customer order.
The ability to see each item, the quantity ordered, the
due date, ability to print, or the option to drill down
and open the actual purchase order make this a valuable
and time saving new addition.
Coming soon to Connected are substantial changes to the
navigation system and elective controls to further enhance
the already optimal audit trail. Connected 6 along with
these new additions will be showcased at the Macworld
Conference and Expo January 5-9, 2009.
Product Availability
Connected can be purchased directly from Accountek Solutions,
through one of our reseller partners. Connected is available
in single user or enterprise multi user versions.
Upcoming Events
Accountek will be displaying Connected 6 at the Macworld
2009 Conference & Expo in San Francisco from January
5-9. Accountek will be located at booth #3726-C in the
Enterprise & Business Solutions Pavilion in the North
Hall of the Moscone Center.
