    Financial Software and POS Systems Suck, and it's YOUR Fault

    Funny story about square. Was shopping for part for our Whirlpool Washing Machine and ended at a shack in the middle of nowhere outside High Point. Went down a dirt road pulled up walked in and met the owner missing most his teeth. Wouldn't you know it, he had the exact part number I needed...

    Financial Software and POS Systems Suck, and it's YOUR Fault

    Ken, look into Quickbooks online. Their SaaS platform lets you utilize the software anywhere you have internet access and a browser. Additionally you'd appreciate a nice CRM platform that operates the same way and allows you to import (or sync would be better, we pioneered that and I'm not...

    Financial Software and POS Systems Suck, and it's YOUR Fault

    Ken, It sounds like your customer service experience was in the toilet and that doesn't help when you feel you have no other option for a POS system. I get your frustration but I think you're taking it out on the wrong thing here. Blame management if they won't take your money and get you the...

    Financial Software and POS Systems Suck, and it's YOUR Fault

    I concur with this. Word Processors and everyday simple business tools should remain standalone. However, when you're building a system that tracks millions of packages, patient records or inventory on the fly SaaS that's devoted to your specific business model wins hands down no questions...

    Financial Software and POS Systems Suck, and it's YOUR Fault

    People change, methods change and practices change on a daily basis, especially in the medical arena. You're ignorant on the subject, we'll leave it at that. When you want to have a real conversation about this topic and you're opening to listening to professionals of 20 years in the industry...

    Financial Software and POS Systems Suck, and it's YOUR Fault

    Now, take your simple understanding of this principal and move it over to E-Clinical. Let's say your medical records included a field for Flu-shot and pneumonia shot in one medial practice (Novant) but didn't sync to (Duke) Medical system. The doctors and NP and CNS's could communicate...

    Financial Software and POS Systems Suck, and it's YOUR Fault

    This is the dumbest, most out of clue statement by far from you Scott. Your broad brush doesn't even hack it in this industry, stick with science man. Business demands on their commercial SaaS can change daily and securing a platform that can adapt on the fly is not only invaluable, but a...

    Financial Software and POS Systems Suck, and it's YOUR Fault

    And some guy, somewhere is saying the same thing about your 1993 386. We were do'in just fine before those 'puters! The only false progress was losing control of the data. The premise of cloud (grid) computing is actually quite brilliant, we just didn't think about big brother first. It...

    Financial Software and POS Systems Suck, and it's YOUR Fault

    Ken, I was right in your spot in the late 80's with my Packard Bell 286 with EGA. I do like the standalone stuff and am still known to buy software (on CD's) from Amazon. However, SaaS and Cloud computing is is putting the food on our table, not Office 2000 and flying toasters. You can evolve...

    Financial Software and POS Systems Suck, and it's YOUR Fault

    It's all SasS and cloud based 'apps' now. There are positives and negatives for each SaaS and standalone but the tech world, consumers and market have chosen the path forward. SaaS can evolve right down to the direct consumer/industry. Show me a standalone that does that. You won't, and if...

    So I'll give credit where credit is due...

    Not for me but these people think that's cool. I especially like the guy on the quad. If you don't have time or the stomach for reds at least watch the frist 20 seconds of this video.

    DiscoWeb (no longer) needs your help

    This sucks, I really wanted to give DWeb Scott's $40 bills for I earned from him. I'll save it for next time.

    Patent Search

    Well it's a bust, mostly. I have reached out to Toter, Sunbeam, Waste Management, Rubbermaid, Reynolds Brands, Cascade Carts, Rehrig Pacific, IPL, Otto and more. It seems to be a good 'ol boy industry and they don't want me to upset their Apple Cart. Short of forcing the demand (getting...

    737 Max 8/9

    I'd argue they lost full control, that's why the biggest piece of the plane left is about 1 meter long. A rover traction control system or fuel injection system would not drive you off a cliff to your death. However, the Toyota Camry gas pedal issue may have done exactly that, hence all the...

    737 Max 8/9

    true story. I'm shocked Boeing went against their tradition of giving pilots full control. they broke the number one rule in the book. Pilots can't aviate if they don't have control. What a shame.
