ACCPAC launches Spanish versions of award-winning accounting and e-business management solutions

ACCPAC International, Inc., a division of Computer Associates' interBiz group, announced today that it is releasing in Latin America Spanish versions of its industry- leading ACCPAC Corporate Series (available on Pervasive.SQL 2000 and Microsoft SQL Server), ACCPAC Small Business Series, and ACCPAC Discovery Series accounting and e-business management solutions.

These solutions provide small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with state-of-the-art integrated accounting and e-business capabilities.

ACCPAC Corporate Series and Small Business Series are comprehensive, multitiered business management systems designed for the mid market. The robust feature set includes powerful analysis and reporting capabilities, Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) hosting, multicurrency capabilities with euro support and BASDA EMU accreditation, multilingual support, e-business integration, and extensive customization options. The accounting feature set-System Manager, General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, General Ledger Consolidations, and Intercompany Transactions-lets businesses record, manage, and analyze all their financial activities quickly and easily. Modules in the Operations Management suite include Inventory Control, Order Entry, and Purchase Orders. Reporting tools include BrioQuery Reporting and Analysis, Seagate Info, and Microsoft Excel.

ACCPAC Discovery Series, designed for emerging businesses, includes the functions businesses use most-General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and Bank Reconciliation-in an affordable, easy-to-use suite. It includes Seagate Crystal Reports, the market-leading desktop reporting and analysis tool, for management reports.

ACCPAC Corporate Series, ACCPAC Small Business Series, and ACCPAC Discovery Series link seamlessly with Microsoft Office productivity applications, including Word and Access; and they use Microsoft Excel for all financial statement reporting. All are built on the same rock-solid architecture, so companies can move seamlessly from one series to another as they grow: there is no need to retrain staff, worry about costly data conversions, or rewrite custom reports. In addition, ACCPAC's Investment Protection Plan ensures client investments are credited toward future upgrades within the product line.

"ACCPAC has been the leader in the North American mid market for many years, and we're excited about the opportunities now available to us by bringing our industry-leading technology to Latin America," said Jeremy Waterman, managing director of LA Technology. "The Spanish version of our award-winning solutions will give SMEs in Latin America the ability to make better business decisions and ride the wave of e-business to become even more profitable."

The Latin American Spanish versions of ACCPAC Corporate Series, ACCPAC Small Business Series, and ACCPAC Discovery Series are available immediately.
