Due to the volume of support calls we've received from people browsing the Internet, we can no longer individually respond to requests for free support. Review our support plan details here and decide if it is right for your company. [BACK TO TOP] 7. Can you help me find another reseller closer to me? Yes, email us   [BACK TO TOP] 8. Do you do custom programming?. No, first take a look at the Sage Extended Solutions. These are pre-written enhancements used by may different people. The benefit is you do not have to pay a programmer to write the modification from scratch. The downside is they tend to be expensive and you'll pay ongoing maintenance. When you compare pre-written to customized, I think the pre-written always comes out ahead. If you're determined that you need customizations, try D S D Ass. - call us for their contact information. [BACK TO TOP] 9. Can you give me some tips on researching accounting software?
