e2b teknologies offers the same products and services, but now markets their extensive portfolio of business products and services under a unified brand for the company’s three divisions:

* e2b enterprise is a new name for the company’s custom software development and business software reseller business which provides leading ERP, CRM, supply chain, and related business software products from Sage Software, Epicor, Intacct, Sugar CRM, and more.

* e2b anytime apps was previously branded as e2b software and ties together the corporate name with the company’s growing Anytime brand products including Anytime Collect and Anytime 500 (formerly e2b 500 add-ons for Sage MAS 500 ERP).

* e2b calibration – e2b calibration is a national provider of quality test equipment calibration and repair services specializing in avionics and mass flow industries.

“Everyone knows us as e2b, yet our own line of Anytime products was rapidly gaining brand recognition in the market,” said e2b teknologies President Lynne Henslee. “The new brand provides consistency across our business portfolio and a framework to continue expanding our business in the future.”

Phase one of the rebranding process was completed recently with the launch of a new corporate website and the introduction of the new corporate logo across its three operating business units. A second phase planned for June will integrate the remaining product websites into the e2b anytime apps domain while standardizing all websites on a common website style sheet for a consistent brand image.

“Business technology is changing,” said Henslee. “The airplane logo we chose several years ago for our cloud-based products now represents our entire organization and our focus on business technologies and services that are mobile, social, and available on premise or on the cloud.”

Green Mountain is a pioneer in the renewable energy space, operating as the nation’s longest serving provider of green power and the first retail electric provider in Texas to offer renewable energy. The company’s Commercial Services Division wanted a turn-key approach to accurately calculating and recording commission amounts that are payable to their brokers and sales agents and are based on the customer’s energy usage over time. With Cogent’s SCM software running on their internal network, Green Mountain expects to proactively manage the variability of the commission compensation function.

Cogent’s SCM solution is available both as a leased product and as a software service which is hosted in their Atlanta data center. The full-featured SCM product, which offers a wide range of capabilities and an easy-to-use interface, bolts onto the energy marketer’s CIS/Billing data source and calculates commissions as the underlying energy-usage changes. SCM manages the commission function regardless of the frequency of commissioning events or the complexity of the commission methods.

“We find Cogent’s Sales Commission Manager to be a flexible, cost-effective and robust solution that can accommodate our many needs and we look forward to continued utilization of the system as our company expands into new markets.” said Les Montgomery, Vice President of Retail Energy Operations for the Commercial Services Division of Green Mountain Energy Company.

It’s the right product for our customers since it scales from small to large credit departments, is easy to use, available as a purchase or Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) subscription license, and deployed via the cloud or on-premise.”

The sessions will include “Compilation, Review and White Paper Engagement Under New SSARs (Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services),” IRS Updates, State Tax Essentials, and other topics totaling 12 hours of CPE credit. The conference will begin Friday May 18 at 8 a.m. and the final session will conclude at 3 p.m. on Saturday May 19, 2012.

TACPA presents courses targeted at the needs of the independent practitioner and small-practice CPA.

The conference is designed to provide CPAs, particularly independent or small-office practitioners, the opportunity to accumulate credits towards their annual CPE requirements as well as offer a forum to network with other CPA professionals and share ideas, experiences and best practices.

“These days, many CPAs are completing their CPE requirements online. While that’s a perfectly viable strategy, there still is a need for a place where you can meet with your peers from time to time.

With locations in Miami and Colombia, Gems Group is a team of dedicated professionals with a passion for marketing fresh cut flowers that are sold throughout the United States at fine grocery retailers.

Specializing in assisting U.S.-based companies with divisions and operations in Latin America purchase and implement ERP solutions, Southeast Computers Solutions President Sonia Ferrera said that Gems Group selected Sage ERP X3 because it immediately provides them with a web-enabled, feature rich, and Spanish language software (Sage ERP X3 supports multiple languages).

The open technology design of Sage ERP X3 provides full independence between the functional and the technical layer. End users may access the system via the web while the data server can take advantage of Microsoft SQL Server database – this was important to Gems as they have the ability to integrate Sage ERP X3 with other SQL-based applications.

Gems will also use the user-defined dashboards of Sage ERP X3 to provide up-to-the-minute graphical representations of key business data.

Forecasting, which previously was done on spreadsheets calculated outside of their ERP system, is now automated with Sage ERP X3 saving time, reducing errors and using sales history information directly from the system. Accurately forecasting sales is crucial to the operations at Gems, as flowers have a short life-span they need to communicate to the flower farms ahead of time in order to have inventory grown and harvested at the time sales demand them. Sage ERP X3 will give them better control over inventory and prepare them for future seasonal demand.

“Without DynamicsConnect, system users would have to manually import and export data from each system in order to synchronize and share information between the accounting, sales, invoicing, order processing, receivables and inventory functions,” said Philip Massey, CPA, president of Massey Consulting. “DynamicsConnect simplifies and automates these processes making information readily available and decreasing the possibility for errors that occur as a result of manual re-keying of data.”

DynamicsConnect automates the exchange and visibility of key business data between the businesses ERP/accounting system and the professional services automation system. From the scheduling of a project to the invoicing of a project, all departments involved know the precise status of an account. Automating the flow and exchange of information from one system to the other, saves countless hours of manual work, resulting in quicker billing that leads to quicker payment and improved cash flow.

“By using DynamicsConnect, the business will see improvements throughout the organization including sales, accounting, inventory, and collections as well as having a better, more complete view of customer and vendor records,” said Massey. “So often when it comes to inventory levels or sales forecasting, people are making their best guess. It’s hard to run a profitable business without accurate information; and DynamicsConnect removes the guess work.”

Massey Consulting, based in Raleigh, N.C., specializes in accounting software consulting, selection, implementation, integration and support for Intacct Financial Accounting and Microsoft Dynamics GP. Massey Consulting’s team of consultants provides customers a wealth of practical field experience gained as controllers, accountants, and information systems professionals in a wide range of business environments.

The poll, available at http://ltcguild.ning.com/page/election-poll, simply asks, “Which candidate, Barack Obama or the Republican choice, is more likely to promote new federal incentives to help Americans afford private long-term care insurance?”

Originated by LTC Financial Partners, a national long-term care insurance agency, the poll can now be accessed through the LTC Guild website.

Why the poll? “It’s not just to take the pulse of the public,” says Dick Samson, director of the LTC Guild. “We want to influence the candidates. When President Obama and the Republican choice see the poll results, they could start taking the LTC issue more seriously.”

The majority of senior Americans lack long-term care insurance, Samson points out. “As part of the Affordable Care Act, there was going to be a public option for LTC insurance, but that’s been shelved. Now private insurance is the only LTC insurance option, but millions shrink from the cost. “New tax breaks could change that, “but the candidates aren’t talking about it.”

Millions of senior voters could tip the election one way or the other, Samson asserts. “They and their families deserve to know where the candidates stand.”

Poll results to date will be visible after participants vote, at http://ltcguild.ning.com/page/election-poll.

The LTC Guild is a social network described as “the place where long-term care and allied pros meet one another and the public, form local chapters, schedule meetings, and share information.” It is managed by EraNova Institute of Mountain Lakes, N.J. Samson is director of that organization, too.
