Know your financial requirements in advance
Accfin Software has great pleasure in announcing the next
version of Cash Flow Forecaster. We also wish to advise the change
in pricing and the way the product is licensed.
Important Notice On Cash Flow Forecaster.....
Use of The Product
We have discovered that the best users of the product are financial
consultants and over the last few years their demands for new features
and functionality has increased. In the light of this the target
market for the product is accountants', business advisors and financial
consultants and in other cases financial directors of company's
and owner managers. The increased demand for features in the product
has forced us to allocate ongoing resources to meet this new demand.
The only viable way to ensure the ongoing quality of the product
is to change the way the product is licenced.
Change In Licence
As many of you know our pricing policy has always been an upfront
capital cost for the software and then ongoing annual recurring
fees, which cover all updates and support. To this end the price
of Cash Flow Forecaster 4.5 is now R2800 exclusive and the annual
fee is R1500 exclusive per copy. Bulk site licences may be negotiated.
The selling price incorporates the first years licence fee, support
and updates.
In order to encourage you to come on board as an existing user
if you pay the licence fee of R1500 exclusive per unit you will
receive the latest version 4.5 and you will be entitled to use the
product until 31 December 2007 and get support and all the updates
until then.
If you decide not to take up this offer you may buy the new product
at the full price at any time in the future
Old Versions
We regret to advise that with effect from 31 December 2006 versions
prior to 4.5 will no longer be supported on any basis.
Support
As you are probably aware the product is not support intensive,
once loaded it works and the data integrity is excellent. However
we do have a very wide number of different versions in the field,
making it incredibly difficult to support. We would much rather
have firms or consultants who use the product, all using the same
version and all receiving regular updates.
In order to wet your appetite I enclose a detailed new feature
list below as well as a roadmap as to the future of the product.
Presentation

12 month annual plan automatically opens up a five year Income Statement,
Cash Flow schedule and Balance Sheet. The user the has the ability
to modify parameters on a five year parameter sheet giving an instant

the detailed plan is changed this will automatically filter through

Multiple Years
Where there is a need to use multiple files because you want a

automatically
