Recently, I've learned about what I believe are two of the best features of Intacct Platform Services, Smart Rules and Smart Events.  These tools add logic, data validation and control to the core Intacct applications without writing complex code.  With this entry, I want to share my experience with Smart Events.  To learn more about Smart Rules, I'd suggest visiting the excellent blog posting by Joe Zhou from our sister company, CodePartners, entitled How to Create Intacct Smart Rules.  

Today, we take a look “under the hood” at Intacct Custom Fields. The purpose here is not to explain exactly how to use Intacct’s custom fields feature, which is made available to client companies who subscribe to Customization Services. Rather, we hope to give you information that is either not always apparent or at least not easy to find in the documentation…or may be missing entirely!

BTerrell celebrated our 1 year anniversary as an Intacct value added reseller last month when the calendar rolled over from 2013 to 2014.  In 23 years, the only ERP software we have supported is Sage 300 ERP, so adding Intacct in 2013 required substantial investment, retraining and effort on our part.  I could not be more pleased with our staff who attended all of the implementation and Intacct Platform Services training classes, with our prospects who worked with us in the software selection process and ultimately chose Intacct, and with the Intacct channel managers, technical support staff and management that helped us successfully add the product to our portfolio.  A special thanks goes to Keith Karnes, who brought with him 3 years of very heavy duty implementation experience when he joined BTerrell Group in January 2013.  Without everyone pulling together under Keith's leadership, we could not have enjoyed the level of success we have.

We live in an age when each new software product has an “API” or application programming interface that allows connectivity with other devices and systems.  The API concept powers the latest home and consumer electronics features that we love such as remote control of NEST thermostats, online exercise tracking like FitBit bands, and a host of functions on smart TVs.  Likewise, modern accounting systems utilize their APIs to communicate with “connected services” that extend the functionality of the core products.
