The Attivo Blog

A few months back I wrote about MAX and compared its relationship with QuickBooks to a superhero duo.  I thought I had expressed my feelings towards MAX and what a cool product I think it is.  I thought there was nothing more that I could say. That is until I found out that MAX released its latest version 5.0.7 and I found out that it now offers User Designed Fields.  This gives the user the flexibility to create their own user defined database fields and add them to existing MAX screens and reports.  I ran to my computer like Usain Bolt ran the 100m in the 2008 Olympics to write this blog! MAX with User Designed Fields is like popcorn with butter, or ice cream with chocolate syrup.  It makes something really good even better and makes MAX that much more powerful of an application.

Leaders are only as good as the people or parts that surround them.  Whether you are a quarterback, a military general, or the CEO of a corporation, each individual can only be effective with good resources around them. How successful would a quarterback be without a good offensive line and skilled wide receivers?!  How effective would a general be without loyal and well trained soldiers?!  Let's think of QuickBooks as a leader for small businesses.  QuickBooks will manage your financial accounting, keep track of your customer, vendor, and employee data and will give you the ability to create professional looking invoices. But what if you are a small business with manufacturing needs?  This is where QuickBooks can only be effective with the help of valuable teammates.  The Attivo Group offers what I like to call the "Fab Five" of manufacturing applications that integrate with QuickBooks.  ACCTivate!, MISys, MAX, JobBoss, and BatchMaster.  Ranging from JobShops to chemical manufacturers these products have you covered.  With great teammates like this, QuickBooks only becomes that much more powerful and a much better leader for small businesses!
