TRAVERSE Municipal Accounting Solution 100% Microsoft.NET and SQL Server Technology. The Next Generation of Accounting and Management Software for New York State Municipalities
Subscription License and Hosting Options New York State Municipalities face many challenges and struggles with their accounting software. Budget restraints, antiquated software, older or unreliable computers, lack of technical IT support, and systems that only meet a portion of your needs are common issues. In the current world of ever tightening budgets and cuts in revenue, many towns, villages and cities may think they are stuck with what they have as they can t afford something else. TRAVERSE Municipal Accounting is a solution that breaks out of that mold, and is being offered in a whole new model that is attainable by any local government whether small or large. The subscription based pricing option, with optional hosting, dramatically lowers initial capital investment. Most new accounting solutions require large up front license investment as well as hardware investment in new PCs and a server. Our TRAVERSE subscription plus hosting model breaks through that barrier by eliminating all the up-front license and hardware costs. Instead, you are charged a predicable annual or monthly fee that covers the license, the hosting, and the support. The subscription license fees are set based on the number of concurrent users, so you only pay for what you need. The annual or monthly fee is budget friendly, allowing you to simply roll your software/it budget over year to year with little change, eliminating the dreaded approval battle. Of course both the subscription licensing and the hosting are optional. If you prefer a one-time license purchase and/or local installation on your own network these options are also available. The TRAVERSE Municipal Accounting solution provides organizations with a cost-effective solution and a robust set of features they need. Everything within the solution is 100% integrated, based on current Microsoft.NET technologies, and offers a one-touch interface to Microsoft Office. Best of all, you will find that the implementation cycle is extremely fast. We will partner with you every step of the way to make the transition as hassle-free as possible. Municipal 1
