Our Secret

How do we interface BankReconciliation.com and PositivePayment.com to all the Accounting Packages and Banks out there?

The basic problem with most business applications is that they can not communicate with each other, whether due to differences in: platform, operating system, proprietary databases or just because one is isolated within a browser (web vs. local application).

Traditional Database Approach

Traditionally, when systems need to be integrated, in this case a Bank and an Accounting Package, the approach would be to program from 'inside the black box'.

This approach requires the programmer to follow the existing program logic (a.k.a. 'black box') and requires an in-depth knowledge of the program and its database layouts.

These projects require an inordinate amount of resources to develop and test.

Furthermore, these database projects typically require additional programming whenever a software update is released for either the Bank or Accounting Package.

Our Approach, the User Interface

Rather than approach integration from the database, we use an approach that you already know, your existing user interface.

By utilizing your existing programs, we work around the 'black box'. We allow the Bank and Accounting Package to report the data in their standard reports (why recreate the wheel?).

We automatically capture the Bank and Accounting data from their existing standard reports which have been saved to disk including:
Accounting Package
·General Ledger Detail Transaction Report
·Daily Check Register (Bank Account Firewall™)
Bank
·Daily activity report
·BAI file
·or any other appropriate Bank or Accounting Package report that can be saved to disk.

Benefits to our Approach

Our approach is:
•non-invasive,
•comfortable, it allows you to work with reports you currently use,
•cost effective with an immediate return on investment (ROI),
•quickly implemented, using limited, if any resources from IT,
•easy for your users to learn (especially those familiar with Microsoft Office),
•source independent. Your source data can come from:

Universal Financial Middleware

Our Universal approach to data import allows you to 'point and click' to the fields you want from each report, regardless of its source.

Once you've mapped them, you are done. If the reports should ever change, simply re-point and click.

Automated Scheduler

Our Automated Scheduler allows for the import process to occur unattended. In addition, the Scheduler can trigger the same Automated Transaction Matching (ATM) routine that a user would perform.

Bank Account Firewall™ utilizes the same approach when creating the transmission file for your Bank. Simply 'point and click' to the fields you want transmitted to your Bank.
