WAUNAKEE, WISCONSIN – January 11, 2004 – BGI Software Solutions LLC (BGI), a provider of business and financial management software solutions and services, is pleased to announce that it is offering Best Software’s Abra Suite, Peachtree, BusinessWorks, MAS 90 and MAS 200 to small to mid-sized companies in Wisconsin.

“We’re excited to add BGI to our growing nationwide network of certified business partners,” said Taylor Macdonald, Executive Vice President, Channel and Sales Operations, Mid-market division, Best Software. “We wish BGI great success and look forward to a long, prosperous working relationship.”

Abra Suite is a comprehensive HR and payroll solution providing functionality needed to tackle even the most challenging HR issues. This affordable Human Resources Information System (HRIS) allows companies to effectively mange their human resources and perform error-free payroll processing.

Best suited for smaller businesses, the Peachtree line of products offers robust, network-ready accounting features while BusinessWorks bridges the gap between off-the-shelf, entry-level products and high-end systems, and is ideally suited for growing businesses that require more muscle than basic bookkeeping software can provide.

MAS 90 and MAS 200 are the top-selling business and financial management solutions in North America and recommended by more CPAs than any other product in its class. MAS 90 is the software industry’s leading accounting, distribution, manufacturing and e-business management solution. MAS 200 is the more powerful, client/server version of MAS 90 and incorporates thin-client technology, resulting in more efficiently distributed processing, high performance, enhanced data integrity and reliability, remote access support, and scalability. MAS 200 is also available on the Microsoft SQL Server database management platform. Both software suites offer a broad selection of feature-rich modules that enable customers to manage and grow their businesses more effectively.

“We look forward to helping small and mid-size companies in Wisconsin move their business forward with the solutions and services that we provide,” expresses Jon Knauft, BGI Senior Consultant and Practice Manager. “Today’s businesses need a solution that will grow with them, handle larger transaction volumes, provide for additional users, and offer advanced features such as inventory, manufacturing and distribution management.”

“Given the fact that most businesses purchase and implement a new business and financial management solution every five to seven years, we are excited to offer solutions that are not only affordable and easy-to-use, but scalable,” adds Knauft. “Scalability is key to eliminating the difficulty, uncertainty and expense of converting to a new system due to outgrowth or obsolescence. In comparison with other solutions in the marketplace, the Best Software product line has by far a wider range of offerings that expand to accommodate the changing needs of today’s growing businesses.”
