What is the Solomon Solution? Microsoft Solomon is a functionally rich environment utilising the classic Microsoft SQL Database Server. The development language is Visual Basic and the key to its best of breed" tag lies in its extraordinarily powerful flexible billing and project capabilities. Microsoft Solomon has been gaining universal acceptance from end users, management, project owners and accountancy personnel alike. With specialist modules in-built into the Solomon solution, users, including those web-based, can create and draw off comprehensive and wide ranging financial and business reports, against any project.
Companies around the world are realising that their businesses can no longer work effectively without providing real-time control at all levels. Project control staff still submitting manual reports and status overviews are prone to error and miscalculation. Good project management allows forward thinking companies to exceed their objectives, eliminate mistakes and better serve their customers.

Solomon Software is currently going through an extensive recruitment drive to broaden its Reseller Partner channel in the UK and Ireland. Combined with extensive training and support, it is providing those Resellers who are involved the Project sector with a powerful home and opportunity for their talents.

Solomon Software views the growing focus on end-to-end automation within the Project market as providing a virtually 'new' market, relatively untapped, for which the functionality of the Solomon 6.0 modules is a perfect fit. The functionality has been developed over a number of years and is mature, state of the art, while being subject to extensive ongoing R & D in the States by Microsoft. Solomon Software feel that they have the solution and expertise to make significant impacts in this space. Within two years the target is to be the number one solution project accountancy provider in the UK.
