Product Benefits

Ideal Solution for a Geographically Distributed Workforce

The application is an ideal solution for companies working with a geographically dispersed workforce. Currently, most SMEs are managing their core business processes through several independent applications from different vendors. As a result, valuable time, effort and money is spent on integrating these solutions. Despite these efforts, critical information such as invoicing and aging analysis cannot be sourced in a timely fashion.

Moreover, a mobile and geographically spread sales force is typical in a medium size enterprise. As such, accounting and sales remain disintegrated. Quotes generated and orders booked through the sales force are sourced by the head office in batches and re-entered in the central accounting system to track invoices against orders.

Juno Accounting allows you to have this information centralized and gives you a common platform to manage Sales, Purchases, Inventory and General Ledger.

Open Database Allows Use Of Third Party Reporting Tools

A completely open database structure implies that you can view all data tables, generate custom reports using third party report writing tools (such as Crystal Reports), perform data backup operations directly through the database.

Almost No Initial Hardware and Software Setup Cost

The technologies used require minimal hardware resources and any standard configuration computer can be used to run Juno Accounting which will deliver enterprise level application features. Further, the open source technologies ensure the lowest possible investment layout for software purchase.

This means you can now allocate higher financial resources for core business needs such as training and process re-engineering and enjoy higher returns on investment.

Anytime Anywhere Accounting

The browser interface implies that you can simply use the IP address to view reports anywhere as long as you have internet access, without spending any money on dedicated lease lines or data centers. Moreover, this application architecture enables you to maintain centralized accounting for geographically spread office locations.

High Level of Features Enabling Business Process Outsourcing

By far the greatest advantage of a browser based application is the ability to maintain accounts in a distributed (geographically spread) environment. Leveraging on this unique ability, we have built into the application the ability for you to outsource your accounting and data entry needs to service providers. You can appoint different service providers to maintain your accounts or have users specified within these service providers with different sets of rights. If you have a group of companies, you can appoint a different Service Provider for each company.

Open Source Technology Platform

Most other enterprise applications are designed to run with proprietary database technologies such as SQL Server or Oracle. This implies that the user has to pay heavy license fee based on the number of users not only for the database but for the entire suit of platforms (such as operating system, web server etc.) necessary to run the application. Moreover, every upgrade implies an additional cost that the user must bear in order to keep pace with latest technologies. Our application runs entirely on the open source platform categorized under the 'GPL Licensing' scheme. This implies that no proprietary licenses need to be obtained for the underlying technologies and their upgrades. You can choose any operating system to run your application including Linux, Windows, Unix etc.

For our customers, this boils down to cost advantage and greater flexibility/freedom for future IT strategies.

Service Element

We believe that every business is unique. Systems and processes differ across companies in the same vertical segment. Until now, the privilege of customized solutions has been the domain of large corporations with deep pockets and dedicated IT manpower. However, we promise our customers a high level of customization at a reasonable cost. Whether it is order processing / execution, customized contract inputs or specific reporting requirements, we will tailor a solution and integrate it with our product for a best fit.

Other Benefits


Thin Client Application

No need to install and maintain client applications on individual computers. The software is accessed through the browser that communicates with your server. This makes the application less demanding on hardware resources

Greater data integrity

The entire data resides at the server. In the event of a power failure, virus attack, system crashes etc only the server needs to be protected.

Easy Administration

Few installations mean less PC's to configure and maintain and administer

Scalable

Fully integrated with the web environment. An SQL Server 2000/MySql backend allows flexibility and data interchange with latest workgroup, CRM and client server applications.

Confidentiality

In the ‘Product Solution’ model, data resides with the client. This eliminates the possibility of misuse of confidential accounting information and at the same time offers benefits of web based accounting.
