Data breaches - are you prepared?
A partial list of
data breaches during the month of April reveals the extent of vulnerability
for large and small organizations alike - check out
the details at
Privacy Rights.org
Are you fully aware of the regulations that govern how such a breach
is handled? Three quarters of the states have passed laws that mandate the timely
reporting of all such events.
For instance, the state of Massachusetts
requires a report to be filed with the Massachusetts Office of Consumer
Affairs and Business Regulation. Maryland, New Hampshire, New York,
North Carolina and Vermont have passed similar laws.
Bottom line, you want to do everything in your power
to prevent a security breach - not merely know what to
do AFTER it happened. Here's how to prepare.

Let's Talk Shop - Sage Pro ERP Job Cost and Project Accounting
modules
The line between a manufacturer and a job cost or job shop company
can run thin, and for some companies they overlap, especially if your
organization is manufacturing goods that you will sell on a job.
Organizations like print shops, custom home builders, and custom
machine manufacturers use job cost systems. Companies that work with
cost-based contracts, such as defense, highway, and other types of
contractors, also use job cost systems. Many non-profit organizations
use job costing software to account for individual projects. Service
organizations also want to track labor and costs that determine the cost
of each job performed.
Now that you know you want job costing capabilities, you might be
asking...How do I know if I need the Job Cost or Project Accounting
Module? That's easy.
