Acclivity Releases AccountEdge for Windows
February 4, 2010 (Rockaway, NJ) - Acclivity today announced the immediate availability of AccountEdge for Windows 2010, their complete small business management and accounting software application that formerly went by the name Premier Accounting.
“We decided to change the name to AccountEdge for Windows for a couple of reasons,” said Tom Nash, Managing Partner of Acclivity. “Mainly we wanted to bring the software inline with its sister product, AccountEdge for Mac. It makes it easier for us to communicate with our customers, and simplifies our business.
“It also makes sense for us since we are beginning a push to bring the two versions of AccountEdge as close together as they can be, feature-wise,” Nash continued. “With this version, we were able to get a lot of features that we’ve been offering our Mac customers into the Windows version.”
New look
AccountEdge for Windows 2010 comes with an updated command center that is easier to read and navigate. The user’s company name appears in the top left corner of each command center window, and the icons, buttons and drop down menus have been redesigned for better readability.
Web store integration
EnStore is a pay-as-you-go web store that seamlessly integrates with AccountEdge. Products, images, pricing and other details are managed in AccountEdge and synced up to EnStore. AccountEdge pulls down new orders, customers, payments and taxes.
EnStore comes with the flexibility to customize your store, automatic shipping and tax rate lookup, hassle-free payment processing through major payment providers and a set of beautifully designed templates. You don’t have to be a web designer to set up this online store.
EnStore, currently in beta, comes with free setup, free hosting and unlimited bandwidth and storage. (Service available February 2010).

Print bank deposit slips
