How is eGLWorks different from other accounting packages?
eGLWorks is an online accounting software with a thin, desktop-based user interface. We call eGLWorks an online software because the data is stored on a central server that enables users to access and/or share the data at anytime, from any location with Internet access. Online software packages generally require a user to interact via a web browser such as Internet Explorer. However, eGLWorks works like any Windows-based software, which means users need to install a small program to run eGLWorks on their machines. This provides an easy-to-use, speedy interface. By "thin" we refer to the size of its setup file, which is only 2MB and can be downloaded and installed in a matter of seconds. eGLWorks requires less than 3MB of hard disk space.
Is my data safe in your hands?
To ensure the safety of data we:
1. Back up the changes in your data every hour.
2. Create hard-disk based, full backups every three hours.
3. Create a tape backup every 24 hours.
How much will eGLWorks cost me and is it available in different editions?
eGLWorks is reasonably priced and comes in two edition: (1) Basic Edition, and (2) Plus Edition. Features include: check writing and printing deposit entry, bank reconciliation, and various reports. A handy audit trail eliminates users having to make reverse entries.
