Sleeter Group accounting solutions conference in Las Vegas.

Kathy Apfel and I spent the last few days at the Sleeter Group accounting solutions conference in Las Vegas. Lots of interesting information about the ongoing changes to the world of accounting technology. One area is the reliance on one software program for accounting. As the requirements increase no one single program can do everything. The new term is "chunckification". No its not a new ice cream flavor but a way multiple software programs process parts of the whole accounting picture and then combine everything into one neat package. One program that provides the figures, another that does the charts and graphs, another that does the payroll and still another that does the projections. All these combine into a package and download it into a "client portal" on our website. Thet way the client has 24-7 access to financial statements and tax returns. They can be printed or emailed as the client needs them from home, office or mobile device.

One other new area is "cloud computing". It means that a company in Texas for example has a building full of servers, a server farm, and they hold all the data and programs for KatTax. All the data is accessed by the internet. As long as internet access is available you can work or print files from any place in the world.
