MYOB US has released the latest version of its business management and accounting software: MYOB AccountEdge 2008. Among the new features are a redesigned command center interface and integration with various Mac OS X technologies.
AccountEdge 2008 has undergone a makeover with a new-look command center. The update integrates with Mac OS X’s iCal and .Mac. Reminders can be set up and sent from AccountEdge to iCal as calendar events and To Dos. The user’s iCal calendar can remind them to follow-up on on overdue invoices, make bill payments, or check leads.
AccountEdge can now be backed up to Apple’s .Mac iDisk, so that a copy of a user’s company file and other related files can be backed up off-site. AccountEdge 2008 includes more user-driven features that will help Mac small businesses, according to the folks at MYOB.
AccountEdge 2008 features an enhanced search tool that lets the user search contacts, items, transactions, and more with a number of fields, including zip code, item description, first name, email address, vendor item number, and more. Only results that match are returned, and the results can be printed.
AccountEdge 2008 now tracks employee time off. Leave tracking allows for a more precise tracking of employee vacation and sick time, including which days are taken, reason for time off, new accrual balance reports, automatic wage adjustments on timesheets and reports detailing vacation and sick time taken, accrued and time left.
Available through Apple resellers, the MYOB web site and other online outlets and mail order catalogs, MYOB AccountEdge is priced at US$299 for new users, and $159 for upgraders ($249 for multi-user).
