3 Since 1976 Open Systems has thousands of satisfied customers to thank for the success of our Accounting, ERP, Manufacturing, Distribution, and Not For Profit award-winning solutions. Our reputation for quality, excellence and a strong commitment to our customers is unrivaled. I started working with Open Systems products before PCs were even available in the marketplace, and have never sold any other system since. OSAS is a powerful product easily modified with source code and scalable from one user to hundreds and it encompasses a breadth of solid applications. Howard Holz, Owner, hp Consulting & Sales When Open Systems wrote the software, they wrote it to exceptionally high standards. And because OSAS has open source code, it makes for a seamless integration with third party products. Alex Pearson, Owner, IS Systems With OSAS, we were able to design a system that would keep track of all provided services and also trace which grants were tied to each service. The system was set up to really fit our business. It was very clear that the flexibility of OSAS would enable us to account for all of our data in one place. Tom Henry, Director of Finance, Camp Fire USA Minnesota Council Our ability to generate the reporting information required by states and provide it to them in a timely manner has been a cost savings. It s allowed us to avoid penalties simply because we can collate the data and respond to their timeframe. Ralph Rogers, Corporate Controller, RSA MicroTech For us, the biggest benefit of OSAS is the flexibility we have. Not only the ability to do consolidated reporting, but in all of the accounting software packages I ve dealt with, the OSAS report generator for General Ledger is by far the best I ve ever seen: hands down, no two ways about it. The software has been very intuitive. Kerry Peterson, President, SR Consulting LEADERSHIP OSAS is a superior product and it s one of the best accounting systems I ve used. It is the most flexible system I ve used in all environments. It s pretty remarkable. Todd Erickson, IT Director, Hawk s Cay Resort

4 You know the demands of business today: Managing change whether in growth or recession. Maintaining both competitiveness and customer satisfaction. Making the most of capital investments. Controlling cash and inventory. Capturing timely, accurate information to help you profitably increase your business. SCALABLE To meet those demands and compete successfully, you need a total business solution--from the front door of your organization to the back. One that can change when you change. OSAS is a true total business solution offering a full range of accounting and business applications. Regardless of the size of your company, OSAS provides a solution that fits. From small businesses to large, growing companies with high transaction volumes, OSAS meets your specialized needs.

5 OSAS is easy to learn and use. And that means maximized efficiency and productivity for your business. Our intuitive user experience provides the perfect balance between power and ease of use. Navigation is easy and natural, and multiple forms and reports can be displayed and worked with concurrently even across multiple companies maximizing your productivity.

6 OSAS conforms to the way you do business, not the other way around. Business rules are used to tailor the software to your business needs. You determine the interaction of the applications, the level of the audit control, and the default functionality of the software via simple system option settings. FLEXIBLE Role-based activities are set up and available for different types of users within your company. For instance, users set up in a Sales role may have access to quotes and order entry in Sales Order, price calculators and product availability functions in Inventory, and so on, while users in an Accounting role may have access to general ledger journal entries, banking, and payroll functions. Each user can adjust the software to best meet their usage needs. Keyboard shortcuts, default values, menu configurations, and navigation settings are stored by user and automatically restored each time you log in. OSAS offers flexible information retrieval. OSAS includes pre-defined reporting using Microsoft s Office reporting tools. Information can also be made available to other office and productivity applications via ODBC/JDBC drivers, allowing you to access your data via Crystal Reports, OpenOffice.org, Microsoft Office, StarOffice and other popular products. If you are in need of additional functionality, OSAS has many user-defined fields throughout that can help you further tailor the software to meet your needs. Because we provide the source code at no additional charge, you can easily customize OSAS to meet the precise needs of your business. A Software Developer s Kit (SDK) is available to assist you should you decide to customize the software.

7 Written using the powerful BBj language and database from BASIS International, Ltd., OSAS is easy to use, deploy, and maintain. OSAS is also fully scalable, reliable, and compliant with the latest technologies. OSAS is written in BBj, a powerful object-oriented, multi-platform programming language that includes a full database management system and rapid application development tools. Because it s Java-based, BBj also allows integration of Java objects within BBj code. OSAS can be implemented on servers and clients running virtually any popular operating system, including Windows XP/Vista, Linux, Mac OS, IBM AIX, Sun Solaris, SCO OpenServer, and SCO Unix- Ware. OSAS supports almost any popular Linux distribution, including RedHat, Novell SUSE, Nitix, Mandrake, Debian, Xandros, Gentoo, and more. OSAS offers the ultimate in deployment flexibility.

Further, you can choose to use any of the supported operating systems on any part of your deployment. The ability to mix and match operating systems in your network gives you unparalleled flexibility. OSAS provides the tools you need to access your data from third-party applications, unlocking your accounting data for a host of business needs, from reporting to analysis to presentation. The included ODBC driver offers connections to OSAS data from any ODBC-compliant application, such as Microsoft s Office applications, WordPerfect, Crystal Reports, and many others. In addition, the JDBC driver offers connections to Java-based applications, and to those supporting JDBC, such as the desktop applications from OpenOffice.org and Sun s StarOffice. You can use web services to integrate internal systems and applications. Web services enable disparate applications to exchange information and processes using XML and SOAP. Web services offer the key to integrating OSAS applications with third-party packages, such as e-business solutions, data-mining applications, customer relationship management (CRM) packages, and supply-chain management applications.
