NetSuite is not being subtle – is it ever? – in issuing a study that says Sage users are more tied to the desktop than the users of any other package. (I once knew a young lady who was tied to the desktop, but we won't get into that here.) NetSuite published a press release that reported a study conducted by YouGov "indicates that approximately three quarters of business leaders using Sage business software that were surveyed report having to access their business information from a desktop PC with client software installed, as opposed to through the cloud from any other device." YouGov, based in the United Kingdom, is described as a professional research and consulting organization.

OPEN SYSTEMS INTROS CANADIAN PAYROLL

Open Systems and Kalibur Solutions has released Traverse version 11 Canadian payroll, designed to enable companies with Canadian employees to prepare payroll in-house. Kalibur CEO Zoltan Szakal says with the new module companies can run Canadian and U.S. payroll from one Traverse installation. Payroll does, well, the usual stuff, with Canadian payroll functions integrated with Traverse and capable of handling multicurrency transactions. It feels like Minneapolis, Minn.-based Open Systems is on a pace to issue more press releases in 2013 than in any year I can remember in the past two decades. This month, the company also announced a partnership with Argus Hosting, which provides online hosting and cloud services for ERP users. The deal provides services such as Hosted Virtual Desktops, automatic offsite data backup, and applied software updates for Traverse installations. Last week, Open Systems and Unisun Software they integrate Unisun's Envio produce inventory management software with Traverse. Envio's software is a packer-grower-shipper inventory management software package for the fresh produce industry. (That leads me to wonder who serves the stale produce industry?)

"Dot Net is a beast to learn," CTO Tommy Tan told resellers attending the company's roundtable in Rosemont, Ill. Dierke, who says he takes the blame for the delay, notes a beta will reach the market in the next 60 days and he expects the GL and system manager to hit the market in February.

KeyedIn Solutions has moved into the Baltic countries through a partner agreement with Estonian Company, McLean & Laneman. That firm will project KeyedIn products and services in Estonia, Finland and the Baltic region. (That's what the press release says. That must mean the other Baltic countries since in my view, Estonia is a Baltic country).
