Are you using Microsoft Office Accounting? So where to now ……

06-Nov-09

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 [...]

Urgent Warning – Winweb.com has nothing to do with WinWeb Security

26-Nov-08

There would appear to be some confusion that winweb.com (our chosen online solution partner) and winwebsecurity.com (please do not visit this website) are the same, they are not. This is taken from the blog of Stefan Töpfer the CEO of winweb, our online solutions partner. As I mentioned in an earlier post about WinWeb and [...]

One such example of this is Lea. Lea is a true LIP and [...]

More accounting software …

22-Nov-07

Microsoft have now entered into the accounting software market here in the UK with Office Accounting Professional 2008.

21-Nov-07

I am not going to rant about yet another shoddy Government Department.
