The Microsoft giant in November 2007 jumped into the UK bookkeeping software market. 16 November 2009 they will jump out.
So again we see a case of the larger software company trying something and failing. That’s all well and good, but what about those using this product?
Well, the news in my opinion, is not all bad, personally I liked some of the features, a lot, what I didn’t like was the power hungry way it used my office computers.
I have one question for Microsoft, why did you not make this hosted software?
Let’s be honest, if you are a client of Holden Associates then you are probably already using our hosted bookkeeping software which is powered by winweb and all this is totally irrelevant to you.
If you are not a client of Holden Associates, and you have been told to use, or even worse, buy this product by your accountant, oh dear.
Although, all is not lost, we are still offering all our clients Online Office 5 for £FREE, that’s right, no charges, no catches, and for *most small business no cost for training either, that’s right become a client of Holden Associates and we will show you how to use the software for *£FREE.
The demise of the Microsoft attempt to gain market share is a shame for those who have bought the product, as from 16 November it looks like what you have is all you will ever get! Don’t panic, for some what it does will be enough for you for years to come, but for others it maybe worth considering at your year end dropping Microsoft’s product and looking to another.
* Restricted to a maximum of 3 hours at our offices or over the telephone
