  When Bad Things Happen to Good Data

We’ve all been there: despite your best efforts or intentions, something goes wrong. Sometimes it’s as simple as breaking something by accidentally dropping it on the floor. However, if the problem involves a computer, there can be serious consequences. As we’ve become more and more dependant on our computers, any issues with them are more costly then ever. After all, the quote “To err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer” is famous for a reason!

Take ServiceCEO. It’s a powerful application that can seamlessly integrate all aspects of your business for maximum efficiency. However, if anything happens to ServiceCEO, all of your customer data is suddenly gone. This is why database backups are absolutely critical to the success of your business. Making backups a part of your everyday life is like purchasing insurance against computer problems!

ServiceCEO Further Strengthens Accounting Integration

We're proud to announce that ServiceCEO has been selected by Intuit for Gold Developer Status - the highest certification level that can be reached by programs that integrate with QuickBooks.

Intuit, along with other third-party research firms, conducted a rigorous evaluation of ServiceCEO that included a series of tests on the software along with a customer case study highlighting the benefits of using ServiceCEO with QuickBooks. In addition, Intuit conducted a detailed customer survey where ServiceCEO customers were asked about various aspects of their experience with ServiceCEO and QuickBooks. ServiceCEO scored 8.5 out of 10, giving it the Intuit rating of "Excellent."

Gold Developer Status further establishes ServiceCEO as a leader in QuickBooks integration and gives our customers the piece of mind that your QuickBooks data is safely managed by ServiceCEO.
