"Slick interface, customer & vendor centers, SQL make this a Business Operations System"
Pros: Handles inventory, assemblies, Sales Order with integrated Purchasing and Invoicing
Cons: File size exceeds 500 MB
Summary: There is a whole new menu dedicated to industry verticals, along with industry-specific reports. The same disc has all the versions, and one can upgrade to a Premier from within the Pro merely by entering a credit card to pay for the difference. Thus, there is no Oooops! factor - the work is not lost.
The 2006 is a quantum change from earlier versions - no more navigators, SQL database has the always-on audit trail, and the home page interface is slick. Estimates convert to Sales Orders, and QuickBooks saddles up for the ride - enabling single-click purchase orders and customer invoices. I also like being able to generate invoices on multiple clients based on employee time sheets.
There is a marked improvement in the ability to handle inventory and assemblies. There is a lot humming under the hood, but like any luxury car, you needn't know. The home page and the customer/vendor/employee centers enable people to complete all their functions within a single space.
The tutorials are very helpful. I counted 43 (maybe I lost track - I started watching!). This enables new employees to come up to speed in only a couple of hours, without damaging company data.
The extensive developer network has produced, and continues to produce, industry-specific software that integrates with QuickBooks. This positions QuickBooks as a Business Operations Software, at a very effective price-point.
