JOB MANAGER 3.0 INTEGRATES ACCOUNTING PLUS/QUICKBOOKS PRO.

MetaCommunications, Iowa City, Iowa, a software developer of client-server business solutions, is offering an update to Job Manager 3.0 with comprehensive integration for MYOB's Accounting Plus and Intuit's QuickBooks Pro accounting software packages.

"Job Manager gives business owners the ability to truly understand what is happening at the production level by delivering a solution that traditional accounting systems are unable to offer," said Robert Long, vice president of MetaCommunications. "By providing an integration link with Accounting Plus and QuickBooks Pro, Job Manager will allow our customers to merge their business data to see not only the accounting side, but the underlying data to support it as well."

Designed as a production level management tool, Job Manager extends the traditional accounting functionality provided by Accounting Plus and QuickBooks Pro by offering data collection of employee time/material usage for jobs, analyzing productivity, tracking job costs and status, and generating invoices automatically.

As an integrated solution, Job Manager allows users to distribute invoice data to the appropriate accounting general ledger codes, thereby transferring the data as a transaction in the accounts receivable portion of Accounting Plus and QuickBooks Pro. This accounting integration provides a link between the production level data and traditional accounting functions (accounts receivable, general ledger, and accounts payable) provided by Accounting Plus and QuickBooks Pro.

Job Manager 3.0 is completely customizable, compatible with Macintosh and Microsoft/Windows operating systems, and configurable for remote access. Job Manager 3.0 supports Microsoft SQL Server and TCP/IP connectivity.
