The
Proven Software, Inc. Team
Proven
Software has been writing business applications for over 18 years.
All of these applications have been multi-user and most of them could
truthfully be described as mission-critical ,
and are used in real-time must-work situations.
The
design team at Proven Software, Inc. includes MBA's in finance and
economics as well as top-notch computer scientists and programmers.
The Proven Software design team has collective business experience of
over 90 years including businesses as diverse as banking, leasing,
distribution, real estate, and service business. The members of the
team have also been involved Board Members of many community based
non-profit organizations. This diverse and practical experience is
applied to all Proven Software products and services. Proven
Software currently has over 1,000 such mission critical installations
in the US and Canada using Proven's software products.
All
Proven Software applications are in compiled C, for the greatest
capability, speed, and flexibility.
Since
1995, Proven Software has worked exclusively on the linux platform.

Why
write an accounting system?
During our 15
years of writing our own mission-critical applications, which
demanded quick entry and easy workflow of complex operations, we
looked and looked for similar qualities in accounting packages for
our clients and for ourselves, but found all of them
wanting.
This problem became even worse when the large
accounting program developers succumbed to market pressure to go
to a gui. This change was resisted and late in coming for good
reason. The so called "standards" for screen handling in
the graphical environment may have been appropriate for other
types of programs, data entry became slower and more awkward to do
(the old cliché'; easy to learn but hard to use). But
succumb they did with little or no changes to the conventions they
had resisted.
There had to be a better answer! That's why
we took our expertise in mission critical, time demanding
applications and created a new accounting system.
Proven
CHOICE enhances your workflow whether using our graphical
interface or our time tested character based screens. We threw
out the conventions that are simply wrong for most data entry
programs and ended up with powerful and rapid entry screens.
Use
our character based programs if that maximizes the throughput
of your people or simply to save on hardware expense; OR, use our
graphical interface with little or no efficiency loss if that's
what you prefer; OR, combine different user types in the same
system. It's your CHOICE.
Don't let these easy workflows
fool you! CHOICE handles complexities and flexibilities beyond
many high priced programs without it seeming to be difficult.

are all hallmarks of Proven CHOICE. Not everyone will appreciate
these differences but if you do, you've come to the right place.

Why
Linux ?
Because
it works!!
Users may
see the sizzle, but what's most important for good programs is a
rock-solid infrastructure. The standards for our own programs are
very high, emphasizing the basics first, program stability and
database integrity. Most of our applications also are meant to
function in a true multi-user mode -- many users able to access
the same files at the same time. This requires proper record
locking, not kludgy workarounds. Our programs are designed as
multi-user from the beginning.
What good is the best
program, however, if the operating system which it runs on is
unstable? You're a user making accounting entries and some other
program crashes the main computer? Simply unacceptable!
We
also won't let our users be victimized by record locking schemes
which are poorly designed, as is the case of some of the most
popular operating systems. That's why we chose Linux. Stable, true
multi-user; a rock-solid operating system, just like our programs!
As a potential user, there are two other very good reasons
to want your accounting in Linux:
