Method Integration - Scaling New Heights 2010 – Gold Sponsor

In 5 months, we’ll be headed to Atlanta, GA as Gold Sponsors for the Scaling New Heights 2010 Conference. If you didn’t attend last year’s conference, you definitely want to get involved this year. Why? For starters, this conference is packed with intermediate and advanced training on QuickBooks products for consultants and accounting professionals. Better yet, new for 2010, Joe will officially be launching the Level 1 Certification training and has added a Method Training and Certification track. Excited now? I thought so.

I attended this conference last year and was very impressed, especially with it being Joe’s first swing at the conference. The new venue looks fabulous and is an excellent opportunity for Method Solution Providers to prepare for their Level 1 Certification.

For those consultants who are new to Method and wonder what added value it can bring to a QuickBooks user, check out this webinar Joe did a few weeks ago. It’s meant to be a teaser of what’s to come while at the conference.

See you all there in t-minus 165 days.

Method wins Awesome QuickBooks Add-On Award 2010

Back in October ‘07, we were newbie’s to The Sleeter Group. Having only heard about the Awesome Add-On award at that year’s conference, we were determined to win it. Just a little over 2 years later, I was honored to accept this award on behalf of the Method Team in Orlando, FL.

The “Awesome Add-on for QuickBooks” award, presented by The Sleeter Group, recognizes a product that has superior integration with QuickBooks, overall design, outstanding features and conformance with appropriate accounting standards that make it an effective solution for many businesses. Method hit each of those requirements and was one of only nine selected as an Awesome Add-on for 2010. Needless to say, we were pretty proud when we heard about winning. So what sort of criteria is considered when choosing a winner?

Shows superior design, implementation and features.
Integrates with QuickBooks using best practices of the QuickBooks SDK programming guidelines.
Uses appropriate transaction types and field population for recording data into QuickBooks so as to preserve and/or enhance the standard reporting features in QuickBooks.
Conforms to good accounting principles and operating standards.

This awards ceremony took place during the second day of the conference, but on Monday and Tuesday, I got a chance to show Sleeter Members the latest and greatest in Method. It felt awesome being able to see so many familiar faces in the audience. What made me even more pumped and excited was seeing the light bulb go off for the new faces in the crowd. It made that knot in my stomach, which I get each time I present, all worth it (you laugh, but its true!). My presentations tend to always be followed by questions starting with “Do you mean this...?” and “I can really do that...” and that’s when attendees start to get it and think of practical applications where Method can be used.

At our exhibitor booth, we were buzzing, talking to Sleeter members, new attendees, current Method users and current members of the Solution Providers team. I reflected where we were at our first year at Sleeter. Back then, when we were asked “What does your product do?” we would say “Anything you want it to do!”- Yikes! I cracked a joke about it during my presentation but it just goes to show how far we’ve come along.

So where are we going to be 2 years from now at Sleeter? You’ll have to wait and see, but I can say that our team is growing, or motivation is high and we are ready to bring Method to the next level.
