Is your business still running an old version of RealWorld accounting applications and wondering what the right next step looks like? RealWorld was one of the most powerful modular accounting systems for many years. That is not something to take lightly, and neither is the decision to move forward.
Samco has just the solution for you. Hybrid accounting software that lets your business carry its years of history and data forward — without having to learn the software all over again.
RealWorld Was Powerful — And Samco Kept All of It
Before anything else, it helps to understand exactly what happened to RealWorld and why Samco is the right upgrade destination.
RealWorld was one of the most powerful modular accounting systems in North America for many, many years. Samco was the major Canadian distributor for this product, with a full U.S. version also available.
When RealWorld was discontinued, Samco chose to keep all of its functionality available. That decision is what separates this upgrade from any other software switch your business might consider. Samco can offer an upgrade path to its extensive line, and the hybrid accounting software your business moves onto is one where Samco chose to keep all of RealWorld’s functionality available.
Your Data and History Come With You
The single biggest concern for any business running on RealWorld is straightforward: What happens to the data?
Samco can convert your data files to run with modern Samco Power Accounting applications, complete with a more user-friendly GUI interface. Just think, today’s premier accounting system can retain your years of history and data.
As the page puts it directly, why lose all of your investment? You do not have to. Samco moves existing RealWorld users forward at upgrade pricing.
Today’s premier hybrid accounting software retains your years of history and data. Your investment does not have to be left behind—Samco moves you up at upgrade pricing.
Your Team Will Not Have to Learn Everything Again
The second concern most businesses raise is about people, not data. How much retraining will the team need? How long before everyone is productive again?
Samco addresses this concern directly: you will be very pleased that you will not have to learn the software all over again, as some of Samco’s screen versions will be very familiar to you. The upgrade comes with a more user-friendly GUI interface, and some screen versions will be very familiar to you from the start.
Choosing hybrid accounting software that was built to preserve RealWorld’s functionality means your team does not start from scratch.
A Platform Built on 37+ Years of Custom Programming
Moving to Samco Power Accounting is not just an upgrade from RealWorld; it is a move onto a platform backed by over 37 years of custom programming experience.
That depth means Samco already has a large selection of add-ons available. If your business requires a specific custom feature, it is possible that Samco has already done something similar, and it is available for your system. It is simply a matter of purchasing the right add-on to give your business the unique functionality it needs.
Whether your business needs a small extra or a complete vertical package, Samco offers very reasonable rates for any special requirement your company may need. And when you invest in a custom add-on, it is maintained through every new version and release.
Your enrollment in CAMP—the Customer Application Maintenance Program—keeps your entire system up-to-date, including any customization Samco has done for you.
Hybrid accounting software backed by 37+ years of programming experience, with every customization maintained through every new version and release—that is what your business gains by making the move.
Creative Data Capabilities Now Available to Your Business
One of the most valuable things your business gains from this upgrade is access to the ODBC/XDBCC Toolkit, a module that opens up creative possibilities for your accounting data.
The ODBC/XDBC Toolkit utilizes existing 64-bit ODBC support built into Windows 7 to 10, making your data files available to applications such as Crystal Reports, Microsoft Office, MS Query, and GoldMine.
Here are some ideas of just a few of the creative things you can do:
- Pull sales figures into Excel for fast, flexible analysis
- Query your database from a website for e-commerce
- Produce elaborate, full-colour reports with Crystal Reports
- Export data for third-party applications
