QuickBooks

Quick Books has been around for fifteen years and still continues to improve on itself. Quick Books has automated several processes. It automatically takes care of inventory, bank reconciliation, track transactions, and provide certain reports. The transactions it will automate arrange from payroll to accounts receivable. It automatically tracks cash, payroll, and assets. Quick Books usually comes with a service subscription. This can be used to answer any question you might have.

Quick Books has made the accounting processes easier. People with no accounting experience can do simple accounting tasks. Where accounting used to require several pages and lots of desk space it now only takes up the space of a computer and monitor. It puts all the information in one place. Made it easier to keep track of all of a customers information. It also allows people to access their books when they are not at the office without having to carry a bunch of books. It has made it possible to have co-worker in a different office or even a different state.

People would still need to know some accounting. People should not put all their faith in the software. All software has bugs and can mess up or give faulty information. You would also have to know how to place items or transaction in the right account.

E-mail in Business

There are several advantages to using e-mail. E-mails can travel father distances faster than mail sent though the postal system. This means that a person does not have to wait days for a message only minuets. It is easier to understand what a person is saying in an email than talking to them on the phone. On the phone you here their accent and any speaking problems that person might have. The phone can also have long distance charges. E-mail is a quicker and clearer form of communication.

There are several disadvantages to using e-mail. Workers often send and receive messages that have nothing to do with their job. They take time from doing their job to read these e-mails. These e-mails can mixed with the important e-mails keeping a person from knowing important information. E-mail is not the most secure form of communication. A simple fax machine is more secure that an e-mail. the spellcheck on most e-mail programs is not the best. It also does not correct grammatical errors.

I have had a fairly good experience with e-mail. I do not use it all that often but when i have did not encounter any problems except spellcheck.i also have to back at the end a capitalize the beginning of every sentence. This is because I am used to typing in word and it automatically capitalizes words on its own.
