Technology Group International Announces New Program to Assist QuickBooks Customers Migrate to ERP Software

Toledo, Ohio – May 18, 2005 – Technology Group International (TGI), a leading ERP software solutions provider, today announced a free migration path for QuickBooks customer converting to TGI’s ERP software package, Enterprise 21.

Enterprise 21 is an advanced ERP software packaged designed for small to medium size companies. After receiving significant feedback from smaller firms struggling with the limited functionality of entry level packages such as QuickBooks, TGI has released a new data migration tool that allows companies to transfer legacy data from QuickBooks into Enterprise 21 without any additional cost or effort. This free data migration offer provides an avenue for small companies to capture the features and functions of a best-of-breed ERP package without lengthy implementation timeframes or high implementation costs.

In addition to the free migration path, TGI’s also offers an optional ASP model for the implementation of Enterprise 21. This ASP approach allows users to rent the software at a low monthly per user fee, which allows for minimal costs for both the initial project and ongoing operational expenses. This environment makes it possible for virtually any company to switch to a fully integrated and scalable ERP software package.
As with many entry level business management software packages such as QuickBooks, the products provide substantial limitations that prevent growing small businesses from reaching their true sales potential. Many times without even realizing it, the growth of these small businesses are stifled by the limitations of their computer systems.
