ACCPAC discontinues support of the Microsoft Windows NT Operating System

Effective July 1, 2005, ACCPAC® applications will no longer be supported on the Microsoft® Windows® NT operating system. This announcement follows a notification by Microsoft that they will discontinued their support of this operating system, which was originally released in 1993.  The decision to discontinue Windows NT Server is a result of the growing demand for the Windows® 2000 Server Family of operating systems, which offers greater reliability, manageability, and scalability.

More Information:

Please refer to our minimum system requirements page for more information on supported operating systems.

ACCPAC CRM receives Top Honors From ISM Inc.

Best Software, provider of market leading CRM solutions for small and medium-sized businesses, announced today that two of its customer relationship management (CRM) solutions have just been chosen by ISM Inc., a CRM strategic advisory organization, as Top 15 CRM Small & Medium Business Software Award winners for 2005.   ACCPAC CRM has won an ISM award for three years in a row, while SalesLogix marks its seventh straight year receiving an ISM award.

ACCPAC CRM 5.7

ACCPAC CRM offers your business significantly more freedom of choice than competitive solutions by eliminating the vendor or technology ‘lock-in’ associated with other CRM applications and hosted services that prevents clients from choosing their deployment model, platform or architecture. By comparison, ACCPAC CRM allows you to deploy the same solution as either an ‘on premise’ or hosted service, including the ability to move between either as their business needs or desires dictate.

Unlike salesforce.com and other online-only services, ACCPAC CRM offers businesses reliable, hosted CRM (ACCPACcrm.com, www.accpaccrm.com) with the key option, which was first introduced to the market by ACCPAC in August 2003, to move to on-premises deployment at any time, for any reason, with all of the online data and customizations fully intact
