Online accounting software package FreshBooks has been redesigned. In what he called an open letter, CEO and company co-founder Mike McDerment said the revamp is needed to enable the company to meet its goal of serving self-employed professionals and their teams. McDerment, who said the re-write is still under way, said the result would be "A product that's easier to use, evolves faster and makes working with clients and teams easier."

Acumatica believes its channel is about the right size. "I am happy with the partners we have," CEO Jon Roskill said at this week's Acumatica Partner Summit. That means the company is unlikely to repeat the enlistment of 60 new resellers in 2015. Roskill said the company has more than 300 resellers worldwide with about 240 in North America. Of last year's class, 42 were added in this continent.

NetSuite has signed m-Hance, a reseller based in the United Kingdom, to the NetSuite Solution Provider Partner Program. m-Hance is a Microsoft VAR that handles Dynamics GP and CRM and which will market NetSuite through its newly created HighCloud Solutions division.
