Can I see a demo of JOBPOWER?

There are two ways to see a demo, either request a free Demo CD or register for a Live Web Demo.

Request a free Demo CD
You can request a demo CD be mailed to you. Along with the CD, you will receive a brochure of the software features and a reference list of JOBPOWER users. The demo includes JOBPOWER Construction Accounting/Job Cost Management/Payroll, VirtualBoss Scheduling and ProEst Estimating.

Register for a Live Web Demo
You can register for an online web demo at a time that is convenient for you. A knowledgeable sales representative will guide you through a hands-on evaluation of JOBPOWER. While exploring the various program options, making accounting and payroll entries, and viewing reports, you will get a true feel for the software. You may look at the construction accounting and job costing features that are important to you and get answers to all of your questions.

Web demos usually last 45 minutes to an hour, but invest as little or as much time as your schedule permits. Exploring a live demo of JOBPOWER will assist you in making an informed decision of your accounting software purchase.

How does JOBPOWER Cloud work?

The software is installed on a hosted server. Each user is assigned a Cloud login. That login can be used wherever the user happens to be, in their office, in the field, or at home. Each user can only be signed into the Cloud via one device at a time. In addition to using a PC, you can also use Apple Mac, iPad, IPhone, Android tablets and smart phones. All you need is internet access.

Can JOBPOWER be used in a network environment?

Sure! The network version of JOBPOWER allows multiple users to simultaneously access the program and share the data. JOBPOWER is a closely integrated program that uses one set of files for storing data about jobs, vendors, customers, etc. In order to maintain data integrity, in certain situations the program prevents multiple users from concurrently accessing files.

The single user version of JOBPOWER can quickly and easily be upgraded to the network version. JOBPOWER looks identical in appearance and operation whether installed on a stand-alone PC or on a network. Upgrading from the single user version to the network version of JOBPOWER requires no re-entry of data; it simply determines the number of users able to access the software at any given time.

You do not have to have a dedicated file server in order to run JOBPOWER on a network; it will operate in a client-server environment or in a peer-to-peer environment. The following operating systems will support JOBPOWER in a network environment: Windows® XP, Vista, Server 2003, Small Business Server 2003, Server 2008 or Small Business Server 2008.

How safe is my financial and payroll data in the Cloud?

It is probably safer than in your office. The only people that have access to it, are people that you give a Cloud login to. The data center has full redundancy on their servers, generators, etc. Each server has a “hot” spare, each storage unit is mirrored to another storage unit, and they have redundant fiber internet connections. The site guarantees 100% up time, in our experience they have provided 99.999% uptime over the last two years. Physical access to the datacenter is controlled by security personnel, fingerprint and badge access. They have daily off-site backups as well.

DocumentVision is document management software designed to complement JOBPOWER. It allows you to import, scan, store and organize all your paper and electronic files and documents by customer, job and/or vendor. It will reduce wasted time searching around the office for paperwork.
