Richard Messik, who manages Vantis’ outsourcing activities is one of the SaaS accounting pioneers and last week we spoke about his use of e-conomic. During this wide ranging conversation, Richard explains why his firm prefers e-conomic and how they are ramping to bring on 200 clients before the year’s end. We also talk about SaaS economics, the differences between services like e-conomic and others along with industry pricing issues. Richard particularly likes that e-conomic allows him to configure a single tab that clients use for recording sales while his firm’s users have a more complete view and can help complete the accounts. He also likes that e-conomic wrote an interface to Viztopia, the firm’s preferred accounts preparation solution. This makes it a relatively easy matter for Vantis to go from client records to final accounts in a format that allows them to take advantage of the strengths of each system. Richard’s assessment is forthright and a valuable addition for practitioners considering SaaS solutions. Listen and enjoy the 11 minute 36 sec extract from that conversation.
