MISys SBE to SBM Conversion
Since announcing the retirement of MISys SAE Small Business Edition on June 1, we have received a number of inquiries from users wondering about their upgrade options. The easiest, and certainly the most economical option, is to crossgrade to MISys SBM. Assuming your Upgrade Subscription Plan is up to date, you can crossgrade at no cost, paying only the next year's Subscription Plan. For complete information and confirmed pricing, contact MISys Customer Service at 802/457-4600.

MISys SBM Functional Comparison
Because more and more people have been learning about the enhanced functionality built into MISys SBM, we've been fielding questions such as "What do I get if I switch to Small Business Manufacturing?" To help you understand what you get (and what you give up) we've published what we hope will be a handy comparison to MISys SAE. Check it out!

MISys Adopts NPS Methodology
Although MISys, Inc. has enjoyed steady revenue growth year after year, we have never felt that counting dollars was a good measure of our success as a company. Since we want to be the best software company you've ever done business with, your opinion of our product and services provides our management with a more meaningful guage of our progress.
Earlier this year we distributed a survey which asked the question "How likely are you to recommend our products and services to a friend or colleague." Some of you may recognize this question as The Ultimate Question devised by Dr. Fred Reichheld to produce what is known as a Net Promoter Score. The answer revealed that MISys has a great many promoters, but the real value in asking is being able to track the growth of the NPS over time. So take this as fair warning, that from time to time, we will be surveying our customers to measure our progress and to ascertain ways to improve the value of the products and services we deliver to you. We will try not to be obtrusive. Your participation is always appreciated.
PS: If you ever have a thought, a comment, suggestion, or gripe, don't hesitate to contact our President and CEO, Dave Brown, at 802/457-4600 x232.

MISys SBM Advanced Purchasing
As you probably know, the Advanced Purchasing module for MISys SBM is an extra-cost component that allows you to create, track, and process purchase orders. Since most people already have the ability to create purchase orders, whether from within an accounting system or by hand-writing paper forms, it may surprise you to learn that over 90% of users purchase this module within 60 days of implementing MISys SBM.
The reason may be that functionality included in Advanced Purchasing (but missing from other systems) plays a key role in helping you purchase just the right material at just the right time. And that leads to cost savings that can easily justify the purchase of the entire MISys SBM system in just the first year of operation.
Because Advanced Purchasing was designed specifically to service the purchasing needs of a manufacturing firm, you may still need your accounting system's PO module to service to sales side of the house.

Accounting Solutions Conference
If you are an accounting professional, computer consultant, or software reseller, keeping up to date with the latest technology trends is critical to providing value to your client services. One of the best ways we know to learn best practices, network with colleagues, and update your understanding of new technologies is to attend this year's Next Generation Accounting Solutions Conference, November 9-12 in Orlando, Florida.
November may seem a long way away for planning your travels, but this is such an important conference we thought, by mentioning it now, you'd be more likely to include it in your plans. MISys has already registered to exhibit our Small Business Manufacturing software and to be hosting one of the key conference workshops. Take advantage of Early Bird Pricing and sign up today.

Dateline Woodstock
Woodstock residents are waiting for next week's town meeting where we are slated to hear a proposal from Greg and Bobby Underhill, two local real estate developers, on the subject of building what they are calling Woodstock International Airport. It is generally agreed that the chances of Woodstock (a town of 2800 residents and 14 paved roads) ever having an international airport is mighty slim. Nevertheless, we expect Town Hall to be packed on Tuesday night, whether they be friends or foes of the Underhill boys. Town residents are mindful that the last major development organized by Greg and Bobby was never even submitted to the Woodstock Development Board, but resulted in a 2x3-foot Information Booth being installed on the Town Green somewhere, according to Police Reports, between 2 and 4am on June 5, 2001. Many are suspect that the Underhills will use the same stealth tactics to slip an International Airport in under the radar of the Development Board. Excuse us for editorializing for a moment, but we think there are at least two reasons (maybe more) why this is an unlikely scenario. First is that when MISys first relocated to Woodstock, the Great Debate, consuming many hours of heated discussion among Townspeople of every sort, centered on whether the Prosper Village road should be paved. We can tell you that 22 years later, the road is still unpaved, although the subject consumes at least 20 minutes of debate during Town Meeting each March. Second, the largest city in Vermont (well, OK, the only city in Vermont) is home to Burlington International Airport (BTV) and those of you who are adept at locating cheap air travel to anywhere can confirm that you cannot actually go anywhere outside the United States of America from Burlington, Vermont. Although the MISys guys are frequent air travelers, we rarely ever patronize Burlington International Airport because, from what we can tell, the only place to can actually go from there is Philadelphia. And, no disrespect to any Philadelphians (3 of whom use our software), we have never determined that a stop in Philadelphia would enhance any trip we might make. So, we're going to show up at next Tuesday's meeting, just to see what the Underhill brothers have in mind, but we think that direct 747 service from Bejing to Woodstock is a long, long way off.
