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 and ReSTAR will maintain a strategic relationship that will benefit from BrainSell’s increased level of support and diverse business knowledge and product offerings. Likewise, BrainSell’s client base will benefit from ReSTAR’s Accpac experience, along with the point of sale experience of ReSTAR’s TransManager™. TransManager provides a seamless interface between the Aloha Point of Sale system and accounting and payroll software applications. TransManager can create electronic accounting transactions from the POS and back office systems to accounting and payroll systems. TransManager will save hours of manual data entry. Data is captured and converted then imported into the accounting/payroll modules seamlessly.
“The partnership will give us a strategic relationship between ReSTAR and BrainSell,” said Bill Oleksinski, President of ReSTAR. “The relationship gives us an opportunity to provide our clients with an even greater level of sales and support for Sage products as well as solutions outside of the Sage brand.”
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.
BrainSell Technologies is pleased to announce its acquision of Sage Accpac Business Partner, Soft Intelligence, Inc.
Starting this month, BrainSell will be adding to its ever-growing family of ERP and CRM software providers. Soft Intelligence, a Georgia-based reseller that specializes in point of sale solutions, is selling its Accpac practice to BrainSell and therefore will improve everything from customer product knowledge to the level of support provided to customers.
Current Soft Intelligence customers will continue to receive the same caliber of support from their existing contact at Soft Intelligence. However, customers will also benefit from BrainSell’s extensive team of Accpac engineers, as well as CRM experts if they choose to increase sales with customer relationship management tools.
BrainSell’s client base will benefit from Soft Intelligence’s focus on Point of Sale Software and the integration of Counter Point.
“We are excited to announce that Soft Intelligence has merged our Sage Accpac Business Practice with BrainSell LLC,” said Soft Intelligence President Joe Masarek. “One of the nation’s largest Sage re-sellers, BrainSell, specializes in Sage ERP Accounting and CRM solutions. The merger will give us an opportunity to provide clients with an even greater level of support for Sage products.”
BrainSell Technologies, a certified Sage reseller since 1994, focuses on demonstrating and proving how ERP and CRM can make tangible and measurable differences inside the boundaries of the organization and manage the connections to outside stakeholders.
“Providing our customers with a greater depth of knowledge of Accpac software is our main objective in this merger,” BrainSell President and CEO Jim Ward said. “Adding Soft Intelligence to our family is a step toward a brighter future for all parties involved.”

Amherst accountant James Kincaid prepares more financial statements for small-business clients now than he did two years ago.
The uptick, he says, stems from stricter lending practices. Many banks and other financial institutions want details – lots of them – before agreeing to extend financing packages to small businesses.
“It means more hours and more work, which frankly for accountants isn’t a bad thing,” said Kincaid, partner at Lougen Valenti Bookbinder & Weintraub LLP. “But it’s a huge effort for business owners.”
Banks that once accepted tax returns as proof of companies’ stability may now require full-blown financial statements, which means business owners must provide key details to accountants who, in turn, create the statements.
James Segarra, managing partner at Tronconi Segarra & Associates LLP, said he views the additional work as “helping clients become better prepared to borrow money” needed to run businesses.
“Lines (of credit) aren’t being pulled, but banks do want to see more information,” he said. “It’s a totally different system of keeping records. I don’t fault the banks, but these can be onerous things to comply with.”
Sage has a mobile strategy and it’s pretty great - Here’s a peek at the Accpac interface, due for release when Accpac v6 comes out this December.
Mobile phones like the iPhone allow you to run web sites in the same manner you run native applications. So you can add an icon to the phone’s home page and then run your web based application.
Sage is working on the “Accpac Mobile Desktop” to launch various data portlets This lets a user see various dashboards in real time from their phone.
We are pleased to announce an addition to our family!
