What We Offer

At Software Alternatives, we believe that businesses were successful long before the computer came along. It makes sense that an enterprise software solution should be a tool that fits into your business - not have your business fit around the solution. ComEdge offers a unique combination of sophisticated, industry-specific, software functionality in a user-friendly setting to empower your users with the tools they need. Managers retain control to make critical decisions based on complete, real-time information. We promise to provide your business with a single source of expertise and insight to design and implement a solution that is cost effective and tailored to your business needs. Years of planning and quality control have gone into the ComEdge Enterprise Solution Suite, relieving you of the headaches and worries of scalability and flexibility.

This means the software works the way you want your business to work.

ComEdge Enterprise Solutions

Many growing businesses outgrow and soon become restrained by their current software solutions. The ComEdge Enterprise Solution Suite has been built to be scalable to evolve with your growth without having to reinvest in a new software system or product module at every stage of growth.

While inherently powerful, the ComEdge Enterprise Solution Suite is remarkably easy to use. A unique Windows interface merges the power and benefits of the IBM iSeries with the familiarity and user-friendly features of a PC computer. Plus each application is driven by easy to understand help screens that step the user through any problems they may find. The result is a very low learning curve with little training necessary. Strong security measures are incorporated into both the operating system and the ComEdge software, but remain transparent to authorized users to avoid confusion and potential security infractions. A security audit log tracks activities by menu option, date, and user profile for easy analysis and review.

ComEdge Accounting

While the powerful accounting features of ComEdge Enterprise Solutions follow established general accepted accounting principles, it was designed with everyday users in mind. There is no need to manually enter data, as the accounting modules are tightly integrated with the entire ComEdge Enterprise Solution Suite, providing real time financial modeling and cost accountability. Day-to-day operational activities continuously and accurately update the corporate financial records and provide a detailed look at how the business is running at that exact moment.
