Acclivity signs deal
Acclivity, producer of the small business accounting software AccountEdge, has announced a partnership with Mamut Software to offer an upgrade path for UK MYOB Mac customers. The two new products, AccountEdge and AccountEdge Plus for the Mac, will be available in April 2010. The programs will carry the Mamut name, launching in the UK as Mamut AccountEdge and Mamut AccountEdge Plus.
Mamut AccountEdge is the next generation of MYOB's Mac products, and features an improved interface, with more efficient navigation. It also has a business insights feature that allows users to research data like ratios, turnover, profits and operating balances. Google Maps functionality has been integrated.
Requirements and pricing have not been announced. The current US version requires Mac OS X 10.4 and QuickTime 5; Office 2004 or 2008 is required for OfficeLink. The software costs $300, roughly €200.

ugh
Hopefully, this works out better than it did for Accountedge users when they made a distribution agreement with Intuit in Canada...Intuit decided to a) not distribute Accountedge b) not provide updates to Accountedge c) not work on a new version of Quicken for Business because they had no significant competition anymore.
