America's #1 Construction Accounting Software
Home > Why
FOUNDATION is #1 |
FOUNDATION for Windows is America's #1 construction accounting software. Why do we believe we are #1? Three reasons - Product,
Technology, Company.
Product
From the beginning, Foundation Software has focused on just one
product - job cost construction accounting.
With over 22 years of experience working with trade contractors,
we have fine-tuned our software to be the most efficient and most
powerful construction accounting software available.
In 2000, we completely re-wrote our accounting software to be compatible with
the latest technology. This gave us a chance to re-design it using
the most current best-practices in usability and to further strengthen
its features. Unlike many of our competitors, we re-wrote our construction accounting software
from the ground up. Others use a graphic overlay of very outdated
technology, which is a lot like putting a new façade on an
ancient building - the plumbing and wiring underneath are bound
to fail!
FOUNDATION is widely recognized as the easiest construction accounting
software to use. Yet it also has some of the most powerful and unique
features - like complete date sensitivity, custom report writers
(not cumbersome, third-party technology), and a fail-safe audit
trail.
Technology
When FOUNDATION was released in 2000, it was only after a complete
re-write of our old DOS-based construction accounting product. Because we didn't just put
a new face on old programming, we were able to base FOUNDATION on
the most cutting-edge technology.
The database where all FOUNDATION data is stored is Microsoft SQL
Server, a highly respected program that offers its users distinct
advantages, such as built-in roll back features that protect your
data from corruption in the event of power failure, lightning strikes,
and other hardware problems. It also offers seamless integration
with other Microsoft products, so your FOUNDATION data can be linked
to Excel, Word Access and more. And Microsoft SQL Server does not
require you to purchase additional hardware or software.
All of this adds up to a lot of power in an easy-to-use package. And it ensures that FOUNDATION will be around for the long-term.
Company
Foundation Software is the author and developer of FOUNDATION.
We don't use dealers, VARs or other vendors to sell or support our
product.
This means that we have complete control over the quality and reliability
of our product and services. Our R&D staff hears input directly
from sales and support, ensuring that we always know what's going
on in the construction industry.
It also means that you can call one number to talk to sales, support,
technical services, and more. You'll never get passed back and forth
between the dealer and the developers! And you'll have much shorter
response times for your support questions.
FOUNDATION has chosen not to use dealers because we still have
an old-fashioned value of building long-term, quality relationships
with our clients. We'll be there every step of the way - from the
sales process where we will provide an honest assessment of your
fit with the software, to hands-on assistance with implementation,
to continued support.
FOUNDATION is America's #1 construction accounting software because we offer the best product, based on the best technology, made and supported by the best company. |
