Do you know there are better ways than create your own accounting software? Let me share with you 3 types of common available ways to add financial ability to your application.
Method #1 - Integration Through Software Development Kit provided by vendor.
Some accounting software vendor will provide SDK to their partner or selected software vendor. Although this is the fastest way, but each time your customer need an accounting solution, you need to pay for the license. Another common way is by "import and export" to exchange data between systems, just to provide accounting reports.
Method #2 - Open Source Accounting system.
One of the biggest drawbacks of this method is application provider must include their software source code or the modified version of the accounting source code, hence lost competitive advantages to their competitor.
Method #3 - Commercial Royalty Free Accounting Source Code.
This is the better way to open source, because you don't have to include your source code, and you got the rights to modify, enhance and integrate your application with financial reporting, and the best part is: You can keep all the profit!
To purchase the source code accounting from the vendor, there are some criteria to be met:
Criteria #1 - Programming method.
Utilizing available resources will greatly shorten the developer ability to deliver accounting software for their application to the market!
Criteria #2 - Scalability.
You must be able to scale from small systems to larger systems, depending on your industry needs. Without proper support for scalability, you might limit yourself to certain markets.
Criteria #3 - Ease of enhancement.
The accounting source code must be ease and fast to integrate, provided with full and clear documentation to accelerate delivery time to market.
By now you should be convincing that source code accounting is the better solution for your business!
