Exciting news for enterprises that use Macs as their IT platform-Sage 50 is now Mac compatible. Sage is a business management software solutions vendor with a suite of platforms in several sectors, including accounting.
Apple Mac users can now enjoy the benefits of Instant Accounts and Sage Micropay Professional payroll software. “Demand has never been greater for complete and easy-to-use business software solutions on the Mac,” said Liam Mullaney, managing director at Sage Ireland. It was only a matter of time until Sage brought their user-friendly product to Mac’s user-friendly interface. “Sage Ireland is giving Mac users the functionality they are looking for while delivering the kind of user-friendly experience that drew them to the Mac in the first place,” said Mullaney.
Mac seems to be the IT platform of choice for several companies, however in the past accounting and payroll software had to be run on standalone windows-based PCs. Now that Sage’s accounting software is Mac compatible, businesses can integrate their business software on a single easy-to-use Mac platform.
Beryl Furlong, GM of Apple reseller Typetec explains that “Our Mac-based customers have for many years been looking for a sound, financial application that is supported on the Mac OS and I think this clearly offers a very attractive solution to them.”

No commentsPersonal Accounting Software for your iPad or iPhone
“There’s an app for just about anything.”
Apple’s slogan is fast becoming true. iPhone and iPad users can now find easy-to-use personal accounting software in the Apple App Store. CashPilot was released December ‘09 on the App Store in the Finance category, but the company has already iterated a new Version 1.2.4 with improved language support. CashPilot was designed to facilitate the management of income and expenses; CashPilot is personal accounting made easy.
CashPilot users can easily export or email weekly, monthly or yearly expense reports. Accounting automation through CashPilot optimizes efficiency and with iPhone and iPad integration, personal accounting can be done anytime, anywhere.
Ralf Boesswetter, the founder of CashPilot, created the application as a solution to accommodate his personal accounting needs. CashPilot was quick to spread because the app allows users to monitor and manage their finances, thereby making them feel in control of their money.
CashPilot’s interface is easy to use and navigate; no bookkeeping experience necessary. Here’s a screenshot of the CashPilot interface on the iPhone:
CashPilot provides users with real time access to their financial data. With a few taps, users can access reports, graphs, and their purchase history. Users can also easily edit, configure, delete and manage their spending categories.
Financial management is a legitimate concern for many people, in our current economy. CashPilot facilitates asset management and gives users control over their financial destiny for a nominal fee of $2.99. See CashPilot in action here: http://www.cashpilot.net/en/video/

No commentsTax Calculation Made Easy?
IT solutions provider, SunGard, has released a new online tax calculation service that caters most specifically to benefit administrators requiring federal and state tax withholding support.
SunGard’s Omni Tax Calculator offers a simple way to calculate withholding taxes on pension distributions with improved efficiency. SunGard’s software as a service (SaaS) is available on a “pay as you go” basis and helps facilitate the entire tax calculation process.
The SaaS ultimately reduces the headache associated with tax calculation, which is quite a remarkable feat. Users will avoid dealing with costly hardware, technical expertise needed to deal with hardware, and daunting manual processes.
My favorite features of the SaaS-based Tax calculator are the automatic changes to federal and state tax withholding tables every time the government updates them and the automatic software updates. Genius!
The Omni Tax Calculator provides a simple solution for benefit administrators with its highly intuitive infrastructure. SunGard has made tax calculation easier for its users, now if only they could make it fun as well.
