Mendelson Consulting, led by Mario Nowogrodzki, joined the Exact International Partner Program. Exact has tried before to use the QB channel to promote its Exact Online in this country with not much success. That is an interesting approach and appears to answer the question of whether Exact has completely pulled back from the United States. Last year, it transferred three manufacturing packages—JobBoss, Macola and Max—to ECi Solutions. Apax Partners owns Exact and purchased ECi prior to the transfer. This week’s announcement spells out an ambitious program: “The partnership with Mendelson signifies the expansion of Exact products into the Intuit market, allowing Exact’s message about their Exact Synergy solution to reach over 28 million businesses worldwide who use QuickBooks today.” Nowogrodzki has operated Mendelson Consulting in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale, Fla., area since 1992.
