<h6><b>Integral Accounting Enterprise FAQ</b></h6>
<p><br />
Why is your software so Inexpensive?
</p>
<p>STFB Inc. software is in-expensive because we only sell sell the software on-line, and we have no outside sales force, and this cuts a lot of the overhead of selling our particular type of software.
STFB Inc. also only licenses the software to developers, consultants and Value-added resellers (VARS) that are familiar with programming and the dot net environment, which cuts our technical support needs as well.
Without the sales force or technical support overhead, we are able to offer the Integral Accounting Enterprise product at a very competitive price.
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>How often is the Integral Accounting Enterprise 2007 System Updated?</p>
<p> STFB Inc. updates the Integral Accounting Enterprise Package 1 - 2 times a year. If required, we will issue an emergency patch to fix any major bugs or to patch in important new features or compliance changes.
As long as your maintenance contract is valid, you will receive all of these updates and patches for free! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>What happens to my custom modifications when a new release is issued? </p>
<p>The Integral Accounting Enterprise package is designed with modifications and customizations in mind. The software is organized as a "Solution", with the major functionality defined as sub-projects to that solution. This means that you can leave the software completely intact, and implement your custom changes in a separate sub-solution that will be completely un-affected by the upgrades to the software.
When we make table changes to the database, we may add stored procedures, functions, and fields, but we NEVER remove already added fields and tables so we will never "break" and code that relies on customizations to the database.
Complete instructions on how to modify the Integral Accounting Enterprise system and have your changes persist across releases are posted at http://www.integralaccountinghelp.com/custom.html </p>
<p> </p>
<p>What is SQL Server Express 2005 and Why is it so important? </p>
<p>SQL Server Express 2005 is a completely free version of SQL Server 2005 that is re-distributable with your software applications!
Most importantly, SQL Server Express 2005 is functionally equivalent to SQL Server 2005, applications can't tell the difference and they run flawlessly on SQL Server Express 2005!
This allows you to distribute your SQL Server 2005 based applications to customers that can't afford their own SQL Server implementations. This means that a version of Integral Accounting Enterprise can service both your large and small customers without any modification! You can use the Integral Accounting Enterprise Software with SQL Server Express 2005 for small companies that don't need or can't afford the full SQL Server 2007 license. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>How many users does the Enterprise system support ? </p>
<p>The Integral Accounting Enterprise application is licensed as an entire application and not on a per server or per user basis. Therefore, You can run as many users as you like on the Integral Accounting Enterprise System without having to pay anything extra!
Technically, There are no built-in limits to the amount of users the Integral Accounting Enterprise system can handle, as long as the underlying operating system software and hardware can handle the user load, the software should be able to handle it also.
If you are using the Integral Accounting Enterprise package and you find that your user load is starting to slow the system, remember that the system is multi-tiered, and each of the tiers can be run on a separate machine, and if configured properly some of the tiers can even operate across multiple servers!
</p>
<p> </p>
<p> What is your shipping policy (How fast can I get the code?) </p>
<p>As soon as we receive your payment, we will send an email that contains instructions on how to download the software from our secure site using your license key. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is the source code complete?
<br />
</p>
<p> When you purchase the Integral Accounting Enterprise system, you get the complete source code for the entire application and all of it's tiers. All of the databases, all scripts, all projects, all modules, all of the source code documentation, everything that you need to modify any section of the program. The program itself is designed to be completely modifiable, nothing is obscured or obfuscated. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>What is the reseller pricing? </p>
<p>The price posted on the website *is* the reseller price. We normally only sell the product to Developers, Consultants, and Value added resellers. We try to refer end users to one of our Consultant and Reseller partners unless they are technically savvy enough to handle installation, customizations and modifications to the software themselves. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Are there any distribution royalties or fees? </p>
<p>Once you purchase the software, you can modify it and distribute it without paying us any additional royalties or fees. The only limit to the license agreement is that you cannot distribute the source code, only the executable program that you create. (See the License Agreement for more information).
[top] </p>
<p> </p>
<p>How many customers do you have using the Enterprise product?</p>
<p> Integral Accounting Enterprise was first released June 2003 and we have hundreds of customers world-wide. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> What industry is the product designed for? </p>
<p>The Integral Accounting Enterprise Package is not designed for any particular industry, but instead contains all of the basic accounting functionality that is found in most industries. You can then use the software as a base to build your custom industry specific software on. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> What is your International Sales and Shipping Policy? </p>
<p>We sell all over the world, with the following exceptions: Cuba, Sudan, Libya, North Korea, Syria, or any other country to which the United States has prohibited export by law.
If you are International and have questions on how to order the software please email sales@stfb.com for the International Ordering Instructions.</p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p>What is the return policy and / or warranty? </p>
<p>This is a source code product, therefore there are NO RETURNS after the package is shipped.
There are no warranties, because by definition since the product is source code, we can not control the product once it is out of our hands. This is standard policy for source code products. For more information about the return policy, please read our license agreement at http://www.stfb.com/license.pdf </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is the Software GAAP, IAS, and / or Sarbanes-Oxley Compliant? </p>
<p>The system is GAAP and IAS compliant and supports the Sarbanes-Oxley auditing and security required features. Please note however that IAS, IASB and FASB are changing accounting rules all of the time, and there may be a lag between the pronuncement and the time of it's implementation into our software. </p>

Integration Features</h3>
<div class="drawer-content">
<ul>
<li class="style1">
Integral Accounting Enterprise is designed with ease of modification and enhancement in mind. For example, each function in the system
has it's own set of stored procedures to process it's data to minimize the system-wide impact any changes you make may have on the overall operation of the program.
<br /><br />
We have also designed the system with integration in mind. For the most part, passing transactions to the Enterprise System for processing is just a matter of populating a record
and making a single call to a stored procedure.
<br /><br />
Here are some other features that make Integral Accounting Enterprise 2007 easy to work with:
<br /><br />
Fully Implemented in Dot Net Framework

<h3 id="categories-3" class="widget_categories accordion_sidebar drawer-handle">
Enterprise - Level Features</h3>
<div class="drawer-content">
<ul>
<li class="style1">
Integral Accounting Enterprise is designed using Multi-Tier Dot Net Architecture, which means that all of the different program functions are separated into tiers,
and each of these separate tiers of the system can be run on a different machine, or each tier can run on a group of machines or a cluster for maximum performance and scalability.
<br /><br />
Implementing the business logic layer as a web service allows the presentation layers to transparently interact with the back-end accounting engine either over a LAN, WAN, VPN, or the Internet.
<br /><br />
Using tiers and web services also allows all of the presentation layers to interact with the accounting engine simultaneously , you can have multiple copies of the different presentation
layers all interacting with the same accounting engine at the same time.
<br /><br />
Other Enterprise Level Features Include:
<br /><br />
Multi-Tier
<br />
Multi-Company
<br />
Multi-Divisions within each Company
<br />
Multi-Departments within each Division
<br />
Multi-Warehouses
<br />
Multi-Bin within each Warehouses
<br />
Multi-Currency
<br />
Multi-Language
<br />
Unlimited Users
<br />
Unlimited Servers
<br />
Full Auditing
<br />
Pick, Pack & Ship Cycle
<br />
Accounts Payable Approval Process
<br /><br />

</div>
<h3 id="categories-3" class="widget_categories accordion_sidebar drawer-handle">
Compliance Features</h3>
<div class="drawer-content">
<ul>
<li class="style1">
Integral Accounting Enterprise has many built in features that will allow you to accommodate Sarbanes-Oxley and other requirements:
<br /><br />
There is a complete audit trail in the Integral Accounting Enterprise system that tracks every change to every field. The system keeps a history of all transactions within the system.
<br />
There is a second audit trail that tracks logins to the system
<br />
Transactions effecting the General Ledger can not be edited or deleted.
<br />
Transactions within the system are treated as "legal documents" and therefore can't be edited or deleted once posted.
<br />
There is Multi-Level password security in the system, and this is separate from the Operating system security for an extra level of protection.
<br />
The system supports a Purchase approval process and a Payments approval process.
<br />
The system supports the separation of business functions, which is one of the most important requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley.
This means, for example, that the employees entering bills can't also print checks, and the people ordering goods can't also receive goods, etc.
<br />
The full source code for the software comes with the system, so you can completely customize system security and add whatever additional audit controls you feel are necessary.
<br /><br />
We have also designed the system to comply with GAAP, IAS and IFRS requirements.
