Sage 100

Does anyone know of any comparable options to SWK's Time and Billing Exact and Time and Billing Pro? We have a prospect that is a tax attorney firm on vetting Sage 100c and Sage CRM. Time and Billing is the one missing piece of the puzzle, and SWK is not selling the Time and Billing products indefinitely while they decide the future direction of the products.

To Clarify the above question and the status of the SWK products. (Time and Billing and Time and Billing Pro) they have been retired.. No new licenses are being sold. In Regards to Time and Billing Exact. is it available but it is not expecting a lot of R&D

Sorry can't think of another known Sage 100 integrated solution. You could find a good T&B package then write the VI / BOI interface, I guess, or introduce them to Ed and Ron then they won't need T&B software. :)

This has always been an issue in the DC area as T&B is always vital and T&B has never been a robust solution. TBx was looking promising. I was hoping Acumatica would have a solution to this as we enter that market.

I thought DSD picked up all of the SWK enhancements?

POS was sent to Fusion to have nails in the coffin (ironically POS is in the roadmap for Sage) and T&B is being reinvented as a ground up rebuild with connections back into Sage and other solutions.

It's a good thing Ed Kless is NOT a member as he would be having a great deal of difficulty with this thread.... :smile:

@ThereseLogeais I would agree but it seems that attorneys still bill by the hour.

I recently saw an ad by one of the national law firms on TV that said ""you want results, not hours""...

@ThereseLogeais , is it ok if you value bill for the T&B implementation?

As long as you bill enough to make them realize how much they are leaving on the table with hourly billing...

@JimWoodhead Many customers have started to require that their law firms give them fixed prices and not hourly billing. Coke, Proctor & Gamble, Pfizer, and Cisco are a few examples.

Chris Marston at Exemplar has been doing 100% value pricing and money-back guarantees for years. http://exemplarcompanies.com/why-exemplar/

And slightly more on topic, xTuple has all 3 actually integrated.

I thought I'd heard Acumatica was doing Project Accounting with aspects of TB

They do., in this case our prospect had a small budget.

I thought of you @MichaelNottoli when @PaulZiliak posted about Acumatica!
