Application Period Open for The Sleeter Group’s Awesome Add-On Consulting & Awards Program
Consulting is New Focus of Popular Program
Apr. 08, 2011
PLEASANTON, CA, April 8, 2011 — Software and solution developers offering
products that integrate with, or work alongside of, QuickBooks and other financial
accounting software may now apply for The Sleeter Group’s Awesome Add-On
Consulting & Awards Program. In its seventh year, the Awesome Program is
enhanced this year to focus on developer consulting, with the goals of helping
developers enhance their products’ interoperability with accounting software
and increase overall satisfaction of the category by the small- to medium-sized
business (SMB) market.
Through the Program, developers engage The Sleeter Group’s “Expert Panel,”
a team of technical and marketing experts who will evaluate the developer’s
product or service and provide detailed feedback about the product. The panel
will focus particular attention on how the offering integrates with other parts
of the accounting and business process systems, and help to educate the developer’s
technical and marketing staff about the “best practices” for integration
with QuickBooks and other software solutions.
Several participants in the Program will go on to earn recognition with an
Awesome Add-On Award at The Sleeter Group’s Accounting Solutions Conference
in Las Vegas on November 7, 2011 where hundreds of accounting software professionals
gather to learn about new solutions and innovative ways to build their practices
and serve their clients.
Doug Sleeter, President and Founder of The Sleeter Group, says, “We are
excited to transition the focus of the popular Awesome Program to consulting
rather than just awards. Developers of products and services for the SMB accounting
market crave the assistance of experts who can help them enhance their products’
interoperability and market viability, and through our panel of experts we are
positioned to provide this service. And our accounting professional clients
appreciate the time we spend with these developers to make their products better.”
