So we did a lot of research and found two – Open Bravo and WebERP.

As we offered the solution in a hosted environment, WebERP was the best choice. Open Bravo was better but then it was just too heavy for a hosted solution in the Philippines.

We have 3 medium clients now (about 300 employees each) and are happy with our hosted WebERP solution.

By the way, both software were tested and reviewed by 3 accouting chiefs (CFO, and 2 finance directors). Two of these three work in large MNCs. So we know the solution really worked before we asked our customers to test.

Acceptum Business Software ( http://www.rcl-systems.co.uk ) allows you to do all that you mention Sage cannot -
a) drill-down on financial report amounts to the underlying figures, right back to source document.
b) create reports or change standard reports
c) as no special month end processing is required, accurals and prepayments don’t become an issue.

The idea of double entry bookeeping goes back to the ancient Egptians, its been around so long and has proven so useful it is a principle that cannot be changed – otherwise you end up with incomplete record accounting which is a nightmare that keeps many accounting firms in business.
