Mamut Software (http://www.mamut.com), an
European provider of business software for small
and medium businesses (SMBs), today announced
that it will be launching two new products, Mamut
AccountEdge and Mamut AccountEdge Plus, for the
Mac platform.

The new products will launch in the UK in April
2010 and will be released as part of a multi-year
partnership with Acclivity, global developers of
the AccountEdge series of accounting software. In
April 2008, Mamut acquired the UK Business
Division of MYOB, and under the agreement Mamut
gained distribution rights to the MYOB and DOSH
brand names and product range in the UK. Mamut
AccountEdge builds on the success of MYOB's Mac
products, and will include a new streamlined
interface, offering improved navigation and
appearance over previous MYOB offerings, says
Bryan Richter, UK Country Manager for Mamut.

It includes several new innovations such as a
Business Insights feature which allows users to
easily view information about business critical
data such as financial ratios, turnover, profits
and operating balances and an integrated Google
Map functionality which allows users to pin point
a customer's location and source directions, he
adds. Mamut will also be offering existing MYOB
customers in the UK the opportunity to upgrade to
the Mamut AccountEdge solution at a discounted
price.

Mamut AccountEdge will be available directly from
Mamut and through associated resellers and
channel partners in the UK. Below are some of the
new features that Richter says will be included
in the product at launch:

° Business Insights, which allows users to
calculate important financial ratios, providing
current information about profits, turnover, and
operating balances;

° Google Maps and view directions: View a map or
get turn-by-turn directions to the exact location
of a customer, employee, vendor or personal
contact;

° Form customization tools: A new format palette
makes forms customization easier and more
intuitive. You can add text, and change the
style. You can insert images, shapes and fields,
and quickly resize and rotate them to create the
look users want

° Contact list searching improvements: When
searching through their contacts, items, etc.,
users can now define their search term with
"Contains" or "Starts with" to further narrow
their results;

° A Card File Action Menu: This offers access to
a variety of card-related options and allows
users to complete multiple tasks without having
to leave the card screen. Users can create
letters, send emails, find transactions and more,
as well as create a sale directly from a
Customers contact Card;

° Network Edition: With the addition of
AccountEdge Plus, multiple users will be able to
be in the accounting files at the same time. For
example, users can have their bookkeeper pay the
bills while the sales team are simultaneously
creating invoices ;

° An enhanced Applescript dictionary: An enhanced
Applescript dictionary allows developers and
users familiar with Applescript to build
integrations with other applications.
