Aptus Appgen Software Solutions Offers Entry-Level Accounting Solution for Linux
e Solutions, announced today the availability of two new low-cost entry-level packages of the MyBooks Professional accounting and finance software, offered exclusively for the Linux OS platform.
MyBooks Professional, the award-winning small business accounting package from Appgen, is now available in 1 and 2 user versions for Linux, with pricing of $99 MSRP for the 2-user version, and $59 MSRP for the single-user version. MyBooks Professional offers both a Linux server and Linux client application, as well as an ODBC server for additional data access and reporting.
Appgen general business and accounting applications are Linux-native, and have been since 1997. The Appgen Linux Java client, released in 1999, positioned Appgen's accounting and finance applications as the first to offer native support for both Linux desktop and server environments. According to Errol Allahverdi, head of product development for Appgen, "There are many software companies offering Linux server products, but there are relatively few commercial products offering support for the Linux desktop. Our applications have been able to run on Linux desktops for years, giving us a clear lead when it comes to maturity and stability of the product."
Joanie Mann, Executive Vice President of Aptus, stated, "Our belief is that market adoption of Linux on the desktop is dependent upon the range of commercial applications available. The business market is looking for low-cost computing alternatives, and the reseller channels are looking for more profitable and valuable offerings. Appgen meets both of those requirements by addressing the Linux market with commercial-grade applications (entry-level through mid-range), and a comprehensive development system for Internet software venders and system builders."
Appgen Custom Suite, MyBooks Professional, and the Appgen 4GL Development System are Novell SuSe Linux ready, RedHat ready, and are compatible with multiple other Linux distributions.
