| Migration is not just for the birds!
In the world of
business management solutions, "migration" is the term used to
describe the transition from one system to another. For example,
when a Peachtree Software user "migrates" to MAS 200, their data
can move with them, due to the availability of an established data
conversion tool. The ease of data migration saves employee
time (no data entry!) and boosts data accuracy, thus making such
inter-system transitions practically seamless.
Best Software's family of
products allows a user to maintain a consistent source for
high-quality business solutions throughout the life of a
business, from start-up to enterprise. Best's broad range of
integrated industry solutions (for example, the distribution
suites for Peachtree, MAS 90, and MAS 500) ensure that you
continue to maximize profitability over the long-term with
solutions that fit your business. |

| According to the
National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors website (www.naw.org),
wholesaler-distributors achieved sales of $2.8
trillion in 2002 -- a 2% increase over 2001. The industry is a robust
and vibrant part of the country's economy, growing at an annual rate
of 4.8% over the past decade. Wholesale distribution contributes 7%
of U.S. national income and accounts for one in every 20 jobs.
Distributors have a huge variety
of specific business needs, and require flexible software systems to
manage their businesses. From purchasing to on-time delivery to
customer service to increasing sales (and much more), wholesale
distributors demand software and consulting resources that know their
businesses.
MCG consultants speak the
language of distributors, having implemented over 150 distribution
systems in the company's thirteen-year history. A Operations Director
from a large sports-equipment distributor raved about her experience
with MCG's experts, saying, "They absolutely helped us from a business
consulting standpoint. [The relationship with MCG] has been a
partnership that has enabled us to grow."

| Q. What should I
expect from a consulting firm?
A. You should expect a firm
that will listen to you, the business owner and or CFO. A firm should
dig in and discover all of the nueances of your business. Detail
to you in writting how technology can help streamline portions of
your business, particularly ones that you have indicated "pain
points" with.
Next, the firm will implement
the accounting software and modules that have been recommended and
test them before going live. Custom reports will be written and
pertinant staff will be trained either on site or at an authorized
training center.
After post implementation,
a consulting firm should be there for you and following up to make
sure the system is performing to your satisfaction and answering
any further questions you or your staff may have.
