QuickBooks Users: Test Your Advisor on the QuickBooks 2009 Upgrade

Oct. 3, 2008 - PRLog -- Do you pay for a QuickBooks expert, but have a QuickBooks 2009 upgrade amateur? If your QuickBooks advisor is only starting to learn about the QuickBooks 2009 upgrade, how can he teach you exciting new QuickBooks 2009 upgrade features.

Ask your QuickBooks advisor, "How long have you been using the QuickBooks 2009 upgrade?"99% of QuickBooks advisors will say they only just got it, if that. Ask, "How much time did you spend learning about  the QuickBooks 2009 upgrade?" You almost guaranteed to find that the QuickBooks expert you are paying is a QuickBooks 2009 upgrade amateur.

It took Intuit 37 pages to explain this exciting new QuickBooks 2009 upgrade to ProAdvisors. Ask your QuickBooks advisor, "How can we make QuickBooks faster?" See if he even tells you about my Speed Up QuickBooks or QuickBooks Shortcuts articles in the Intuit QuickBooks Community Library. Most important, see if he suggests the QuickBooks 2009 upgrade:
    Much better in-program and web help, answers before you post questions
         (So good I feel like I am in love again).
    Fast enough for up to 30 users (50% more).
    No single user only backups.
    One user can invoice while a second creates reports.
    No Server Busy messages.
    Chat with users or log off inactive ones slowing you down.
    Much better Accountant Copy (fastest, easiest, most reliable, inexpensive ProAdvisor help)
    Analyze and clean up QuickBooks files like never before, local and remote.
    Sort bank reconciliations columns for speed and accuracy.
                                              No split entries for 100 foreign currencies or large numbers.
                                              New Company Snapshot, to manage better without several reports.
                                              Simple online banking setup, with fast, accurate, automatic transaction mapping.
                                              Adobe Form Templates save time & avoid errors for those with no QuickBooks access.
                                              Microsoft Vista Certified, minimizing errors.

We have been using the QuickBooks 2009 upgrade for almost three months,though Intuit is only now releasing it. Only now can we tell you that Intuit again used us for QuickBooks 2009 upgrade testing and debugging. We have done this heavily for more than 10 years. Intuit often refers to us as VIP Beta testers. We are the only testers to twice win their #1 Top Tester award. They dropped the contest after I said they should, as our test point count was 25 times as high as the average tester, so the contest was sure to discourage them.

There are many reasons you should really care about this QuickBooks 2009 upgrade testing:
         We can give you the fastest, easiest and most productive ways to help you use the many new Quickbooks 2009 upgrade features.

        Testers concentrate on new features. The relationships we have been developing, for more than 10 years, mean we have the best chance of changing current and future QuickBooks 2009 upgrade features to what you need. Not long ago we got ONE client a custom change to QuickBooks in 5 days, counting the weekend before Christmas. It helps if you have long been close to many top Intuit executives. Here is some of what the current and prior Intuit CEOs wrote to us: “You’re fantastic Mike. Absolutely fantastic! ... "Keep raising hell when Intuit does something wrong!"  

        You may discover a bug we did not find. We instantly get the top people in Intuit to help us with our bugs.The QuickBooks 2009 upgrade has fixed for problems we found in QuickBooks 2008, but it is even more important that you can quickly get Intuit-approved work-arounds.

Finally, even if you are not yet using the QuickBooks 2009 upgrade, ask your QuickBooks advisor, "Is there a way we can use the extra speed in QuickBooks Enterprise, especially in new QuickBooks 2009 upgrade, to speed up our Pro and Premier QuickBooks users?"Few advisors know this very simple and effective trick. I was the first to publicise it more than two years ago. You significantly speed up 2006 - 2009 Pro and Premier users by having the QuickBooks Enterprise Database Manager on your server, not the Pro or Premier one. QDM speeds up user processing. It is easily understood. There is much in Enterprise that lets it process work from up to 30 users, instead of one. The QDM for 30 Enterprise users especially must be faster than the one in Premier or Pro, which only works with 5 users. Use this Enterprise QDM and you will speed up Pro - Premier users without changing their file formats.

It took a long time for Intuit to even publicize this, as it relates to a conversation I had after a national QuickBooks Enterprise conference. Note: ProAdvisors get a one user copy of QuickBooks Enterprise. They can legally install the QDM from this CD as often as they like. I got that directly from the Intuit CEO even before it went into their Software License Agreement. It is very important with the new QuickBooks 2009 upgrade, because the QuickBooks 2009 upgrade QDM is about 50% faster than the one in QuickBooks 2009. It has to be to handle 50% more users.
