A Windows version was introduced in 1995, and has been expanded and improved significantly each year. Currently 150+ products are featured in our databases with new products being added each year. While our initial thrust was directed at the PC accounting industry, we have expanded our product line to include the entire industry from QuickBooks to Oracle, PeopleSoft and SAP.
