• Product Certification is a program initiated by Solutions in late 1999 and designed to give our subscribers an increased level of comfort with respect to the accuracy and consistency of vendor responses in our database.
• This is a voluntary program but currently features 20+ products including all of the significant mid-market players.
• We meet with each vendor every year and review their product in detail for two days, making them prove to us every single response.
• We are the final decision maker for every response, not the vendor.
• Every certified product will be identified in all reports so that you can see at a glance which products have been certified and which ones have not.
• You can even examine a 12+ page report for each certified products that describes the organization, the product, and where they are taking this product.

Vendor Responses

• Vendors do not just answer Yes/No to the questions we have asked. That's just too simplified. The Accounting Software Library allows vendors to tell you how requirements can be met if they are not part of the core application. This implies that either the vendor or more likely a reseller or other product expert can add the functionality you require.
• Since one vendor's response may be Yes and another vendor might respond Modification to the same question, you have complete control over how each of these responses are interpreted by the program for ranking purposes. If you feel a vendor should not receive full credit for a response such as Modification, then you can discount that response for ranking purposes by anything up to 100%.
• Yes: The requirement can be met by existing functions and reports within the system.
• No: There is no economical way the requirement can be met other than by heavily modifying the system. Obviously all products can be modified but the real question is whether such a modification will cost too much.
• Report Writer: The data is available to generate the report but you would have to create the report yourself.
• Third Party Product: The requirement is not available in the core application but can be purchased from a third party (reseller or other independent source).
• Added Field: This information is not currently tracked by the system but you can add a field to track it.
• Future Release: The vendor will be adding this feature or report to the system in less than one year.
• Customization: Many products support some form of customization tool that allows the product to be modified but without having to change source code or write an application.
• Modification: This reply indicates that the requirement can be met only by modifying the product through source code or the creation of a new application.
