What is Foundation Pack? It is a pre-developed bundle of the 50 most commonly asked for improvements. Repetitive programming is not cost effective, it is more cost effective to buy all 50 feature and only use 20, than to develop 20 features from scratch.

Foundation Pack eliminates the disadvantages of starting with “database.fdb” :
• Expected features are discovered missing by the client as they start to implement. They “used to have them in their old software.”
• Reseller then programs the shortfall to keep the client happy
• Client gets 10 very expensive features instead of the 50+ features they would have had if they had just purchased Foundation Pack. The cost to customize 10 extra features is much greater than the cost of getting all 50+ features up front.
• Each client has 10 different favorite features, but not the same features. Inconsistency of databases delivered makes a challenge for the implementation team.

Consistent database for implementers and upgrades
• Implementers will have consistent features for all clients
• Implementers can train more confidently
• Implementers don’t have to deal with the client’s disappointment when a client discovers the features they expected are not there.

RIM Company Dataset
• One “Template” Company with 80 tables pre-filled with needed setup data.
• Backup RIM Co, Rename, and Restore for multiple company installations.
• Saves on valuable technician’s time

Pre configured Database for quicker start
• Microsoft releases a database, and then delivers service packs, hot fixes and security data separately and periodically. To configure a database correctly you need to get the last released database and add the service packs, hot fixes, and security data. This is very time consuming.
• Foundation Pack will have current service packs, hot fixes, and security data pre-installed.
• Foundation Pack will have additional Security Roles.

Use the very best possible database NOW.
• Microsoft discovers the missing features too, but it takes them 2 to 3 years to respond to client needs. We have consistently seen Cost Control Software’s Foundation Pack features turn up in future Microsoft releases, but we keep adding new capability faster than Microsoft can. Foundation Pack delivers the needed features TODAY.

“Reports Pack” – The best Add-on for Foundation Pack
• Includes the 36 most requested reports and documents
• Use the pre-formatted Documents for Sales Quotes, Work Orders, Invoices, Purchase Orders, Credit Memos, and Order Confirmations right out of the Cost Control box vs. spending hours formatting each document. Don’t “blow” your implementation budget on designing Documents. End-Users just don’t understand why formatting an Invoice takes so long. Designing jus one report can cost as much as all 36 of the Reports Pack reports.
