There has been a major breakthrough for accounting software for Mac. For over a decade the Apple Macintosh has been seen as a great home and education computer, but when it came to software for small business it lacked the related applications to “get the job done”.

However, there is a new hope for Mac users. New business applications are being developed on the web, and Mac users (Linux users, too) enjoy the same access to that software as everyone else. This is part of what people are calling Web 2.0, the new way that business embraces the strength of the internet, a new approach to marketing online. The other part of Web 2.0 is the “social media” like Facebook, Twitter, and blogging.

Accessing Macintosh Software for Small Business

A new generation of web standards allows desktop-quality applications to be delivered over the internet directly to a browser.

• Online accounting software
• Invoicing software
• Financial reporting
• Expense reports
• Time tracking software
• Project collaboration
• Contact management
• Appointment scheduling
• Custom databases
• To Do Lists

and much more are being delivered as web applications. Including our accounting software for Mac. Most web applications run just as well on Mac OS X as on Windows (you may have to switch to Firefox, however, for some of them).

Is SaaS the New Phenomenon in the World of Macintosh Software?

There is no doubt that there is still a market for offline products and services. When I go to networking events, there are people that have never heard of the idea of using accounting software that is hosted online. Almost all the small business owners I have met were thrilled to find out this was possible and even available in Canada.

SaaS, Software as a Service, is still a relatively new phenomenon, most users are still considered to be “early adopters”. Once they actually convert to using our accounting software for Mac, for all their financial matters ,they never look at Saas the same way, they never go back.

Advantages to Using SaaS

• Faster implementation of services
• Lower cost of ownership
• Expanded client base
• Relationships through direct contact
• Enables users to access technology immediately
• Increases time-to-benefit
• Software upgrades at no additional cost
• More available resources to fund business growth

For over a decade the Apple Macintosh has been seen as a great home and education computer, but when it came time to do “serious work” it lacked the business-related software to “get the job done”.  Business-related software for the Mac was usually written for another operating system first, then rebuilt for the Mac as an afterthought.  Often the Mac versions were a “bad translation”, failing to take advantage of the different features available on the Mac.  Although the situation has improved over the decades, the Mac is still behind when it comes to desktop business software.

However, there is a new hope for Mac users - the web.  A new generations of web standards allows desktop-quality applications to be delivered over the internet directly to a browser.  Web applications like online accounting software, invoicing software, time tracking software, project collaboration, contact management, email, calendaring, appointment scheduling, simple custom databases, todo lists, and much more are being delivered as web applications.  Most web applications run just as well on Mac OS X as on Windows (you may have to switch to Firefox, however, for some of them).  This is part of what people are calling Web 2.0 - the other part is the “social media” like Facebook and blogging.

Thanks to Web 2.0, new business applications are being developed on the web, and Mac users (Linux users, too) enjoy the same access to that software as everyone else.  Although web applications are still missing features compared to our old desktop favorites like word processors, I’m confident that in the years to come they will close the gap.

This post was inspired by This Week With my Mac, where someone describes his attempt to switch fully to the Mac and running into software compatibity issues.

Just a quick note that with the release of Opera 9.5, you can keep your books online using Clarity Accounting in Opera without any problems.  I suggest that any Opera users who haven’t already upgraded do so in order to get better support for online applications like Clarity Accounting.

Also, I did a quick test of the newly released Firefox 3, which (like its predecessor) appears to work flawlessly.

And, of course, it still works fine in Safari and IE7.
