description

Till today, ERP systems we only available to large companies. Smaller companies could not afford them and had to make do with basic accounting systems, spreadsheets and manual processes. Cloud has the potential to change that. Like it did for CRM. By making enterprise class CRM systems that used to cost $M just 15 years ago, available today to anyone who has $99 a month to spend. This presentation is about VersAccounts a provider of a modern 100% Mobile, Cloud ERP system whose mission is to make ERP available to any small business that needs it. Its mission is defined by the recognition that technology and practices have evolved substantially since the existing ERP systems were built 30+ years ago, and that progress since then in these areas can be used to bend the price capability curve down towards the small business owner to deliver to many of them what they have always needed – a Small Business ERP system they can afford.
