Eastern Systems Management, Inc. Selected as Intuit Solution Provider

             Lancaster, PA – September 25, 2008 Eastern Systems Management announced today that it has been selected as an Intuit Solution Provider. Eastern Systems Management offers a full range of value-added consulting services for QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions^®. (www.quickbooksenterprise.com) which has been developed by Intuit Inc., a leading provider of business and financial management solutions for small and mid-sized businesses, consumers and accounting professionals. 

The Intuit Solution Provider Program will enable Eastern Systems Management to better serve regional clients and build their business through the sale, implementation and service of integrated solutions. The program’s lead offering, QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions, is a flexible and affordable business management solution designed specifically for growing businesses. The software helps businesses efficiently input, organize and access the information they need to manage finances, inventory, sales, purchasing and employees, and make key decisions for growth.

“Intuit is individually selecting the members of its Solution Provider program, choosing firms who we believe will best serve the needs of mid-market customers in each market," said BJ Schaknowski, Intuit’s director of sales. "We are very excited to have Eastern Systems Management as an Intuit Solution Provider supporting customers in their area.

 “QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions fills the need to meet our client’s needs as they grow - with its power and flexibility - and at a price that is thousands below competitive products,” Leon Somerall, President of Eastern Systems, said. “It bridges the gap between off-the-shelf accounting software and the high cost of ownership with traditional mid-market accounting packages.”

 Eastern Systems’ Software as a Service

A unique offering to both small businesses and accounting firms, Eastern Systems Management provides Software as a Service.  Although long in use by large corporations, Software as a Service - or SaaS - has only recently been available to the small business owner.   The client’s software runs on ESMI’s remote servers and is accessed via the Internet, providing the same economies of scale, fixed IT pricing, and improved resource allocation afforded big business, all significantly improving profitability.
