AGIS Celebrates 10 Years of Developing Affordable Cross-Platform Enterprise Software for SMBs

    NEW YORK, NY, October 11, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Avant Garde Information Solutions (AGIS), a leader in business software development for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2012, claiming its place as the premier SMB software provider offering one of the few comprehensive end-to-end tools to help decision-makers manage their process "from quote to cash."

Founded in 2002 under the leadership of Michael Bethuy and his co-founders, the company's core product, aACE Business Suite, has evolved over 10 years into three customizable versions to serve manufacturers, product-based businesses and professional services. Through the incorporation of accounting, contact relationship management (CRM), and enterprise resource planning (ERP) integration, the aACE Business Suite has proved to become one of the most affordable and comprehensive products on the SMB market to help users realize their goals through process automation and improved transaction velocity.

"Realizing an ROI through business process automation is about eliminating problems before they occur, decreasing the time it takes to satisfy a client, repurposing people on more interesting and productive tasks, and eliminating guesswork in decision-making," says AGIS founder Michael Bethuy. "A healthier bottom-line is the expected result of a better-run business."

Foreseeing a future where software and applications need to be cross-platform and integrate third-party add-ons, AGIS has developed an affordable solution that works regardless of the operating system a business runs on, addressing the increasing trend of Apple computers and iPads in corporate markets. In the last 10 years, AGIS has secured partnerships with top third-party vendors such as Vertical Response (http://www.verticalresponse.com), NRG Software (http://www.nrgsoft.com) and XCharge (http://www.x-charge.com) to supplement AGIS software with time-saving automations. Additionally, AGIS joined the Apple Consultants Network (ACN) to support their focus on mobile development and plans in extending aACE Business Suite to mobile devices.

"AGIS looks to continue to mark its 10th year in business with more partnerships and new products in development that attend to trends in mobile and out-of-the box needs," adds Bethuy. "With client ROI becoming more an upfront factor in upgrading corporate information systems, AGIS is committed to offering a breadth of software options that accommodate the needs of SMBs at a competitive price and implementation time frame."
