Lucky number three! BrainSell welcomes Source Business Systems to the family. This is the third Colorado acquisition in January for Boston-based BrainSell. Source Business Systems still stays in tact, but BrainSell will take over their Sage Accpac customer base.
“This acquisition will give us an opportunity to not only provide our clients with an even broader level of sales and support for ERP software products and services, but expands our ability to offer CRM and other business management software products and services,” said Jim Brummett, president of Source Business Systems.
Source customers will benefit from BrainSell’s slew of Accpac engineer and also other expertise and product offerings.
“Providing our customers with a greater depth of knowledge of ERP, CRM and marketing automation solutions is our main objective in this acquisition,” said BrainSell President and CEO, Jim Ward. “We are extremely enthused to work with Jim Brummett in Colorado Springs to add value to all of his clients as well as build on his experience within the business management software market. In addition, I’m focused on strategic geographic locations to service clients throughout the United States as we work toward continued growth providing business technology to the SMB market.”
BrainSell is pleased to announce its acquisition of AccSoft Associates, a Denver-based Sage Software business partner focused on Accpac ERP sales, customizations and service.
This is the first of three Colorado acquisitions that BrainSell has made in the past month. BrainSell continues to grow from product diversification and strategic acquisitions, which BrainSell has made five of in the past three years.
“BrainSell has an acquisition strategy that’s providing geographic locations within the United States,” said BrainSell President and CEO Jim Ward. “What’s old is new! Where many companies have gone virtual, we’re working to provide local expertise across the U.S. We are extremely enthused to work with the AccSoft team as they bring immense experience and a strong skill set in Accpac ERP and will help us to grow the western region.”
Current AccSoft customers will continue to receive the same caliber of support from AccSoft proprietors Pat Smith and Andrea Appleby and the AccSoft technical team. Customers will also benefit from BrainSell’s extensive team of Accpac engineers, as well as CRM and marketing experts if they choose to increase sales with customer relationship management tools.
“The acquisition will give us an opportunity to provide our customers with an even greater level of sales and support for Sage products,” said Andrea Appleby of AccSoft. “By joining BrainSell, we’ll also be providing in-depth business solutions, like social business strategy and inbound marketing services. We’ll be able to go beyond providing accounting software and help our clients to impact sales and cost efficiencies.”
Today, Sage North America announced 49 achievers of the Million Dollar Club award. BrainSell Technologies was named a Million Dollar achiever for the fifth consecutive year. BrainSell also earned President’s Circle for 2011.

When it comes to ERP software, there is a seemingly superfluous selection available. With the old stand-bys and now open source products rapidly finding their way into the market, where does one begin to look for the right accounting software solution?
In this latest comparison between Sage Accpac (On-Premise and Cloud-Based) and Microsoft Dynamics Great Plains, BrainSell takes a look at the two ERP providers and offers an objective perspective with yet another handy checklist.
For more world-wide businesses, Microsoft is the better choice, due to its 22 (and counting) available languages. Yet, because their cost/user/month is less than half of Microsoft’s, Accpac is the fiscally smarter solution for smaller businesses.
One gleaming similarity between these two ERPs is that they both offer the ability to rent-to-own the product, which is great for smaller upstarting businesses.
So, is it Microsoft Dynamics GP or Sage Accpac, that pulls ahead in this race between two very inclusive accounting software packages?
Up until now, it was impossible for businesses to run Sage ERP applications like MAS 90 on a Macintosh computer. Thanks to AppEazy and its redesigned Mac client, they can.
Millions of Mac-based businesses are out there with limited options when it comes to ERP software. In the past three years alone, the number of worldwide Mac users has doubled to nearly 100 million, according to Forrester Research. As the ever-growing Mac population continues to climb across a variety of industries, it’s important to have the tools and resources necessary to accommodate both PC and Mac users alike.
With the recent redesign of AppEazy Connect for Mac OS X, Applianz is doing their part to help you reach out to your potential Mac-based customers. AppEazy opens up the door to an untapped potential customer base of new MAS 90, 200, 500 and AccPac ERP prospects for your business, meaning no more lost opportunities.
