First Nations
Adagio by Softrak is ideal for First Nations, especially those who were happy with the old ACCPAC Plus software, but realized that they must move to a Windows accounting system. Over two hundred First Nations across Canada have now implemented Adagio. Here are some reasons why Adagio is the First Choice for First Nations.

Come see us at the AFOA 2008 National Conference

This year's national conference for the Aboriginal Financial Officers Association in Montreal, February 12-14, is a fantastic opportunity for First Nations management and accounting personnel to learn about better accounting solutions.

Over 200 First Nations currently use Adagio by Softrak. If you're not using Adagio Accounting, do you fit in one of these categories?

Adagio by Softrak

Your band probably runs many different programs in health, education, heritage, social services, housing and more. With Adagio Ledger's superb Financial Reporter, the financial officer can produce exactly the reports needed to manage these programs effectively. In addition, Adagio GridView can put a read-only reporting tool on any desk where someone needs access to the accounting data in real time.

If your band has been running ACCPAC Plus, the people working in the band accounting office will find the move to Adagio painless. The data does not usually need to be converted, so all of the accounting data remains accessible, including the history. The data entry and daily processes are very similar, so a simple orientation is all that is necessary for Plus users to become comfortable with Adagio.

Of course, Adagio Accounting can be an excellent solution for many of the businesses run by First Nations. Adagio can work effectively for everything from sawmills to day-care centres. Many bands run specialized programs developed for their needs. Often, these programs will export data to the accounting system. Adagio's importing features are flexible and easily set up to handle many file formats.

Specialized Third Party Modules:

Purchase Orders for Adagio is the practical and preferred solution to maximize purchasing efficiency and enforce financial accountability. The solution can be configured with budgetary controls integrated to the approved financial budgets for authorized purchasing, and enabled with encumbrance accounting transactions imported to the financial reporting. Purchase Orders is an essential and unique link between Payables and Ledger Financial Reporting. The import feature of encumbrance accounting entries is a huge time saver for accounting resources.

PayDirt Payroll provides a simple and accurate method to expense wages, benefits, and accruals to the correct departments. This allows First Nations users to easily apply payroll expenses to the matching program or revenue stream.

First Nations also often have union-style payrolls with many benefits, accruals, and deductions - often with difficult formulas and calculations that they usually have to do in spreadsheets or track in manual ledgers because their current payroll system can't do it for them. PayDirt Payroll has the ability to easily create formulas to manage and calculate all of those complex paycodes. PayDirt Payroll will dramatically reduce the amount of time and energy invested in producing payroll.

Use TelPay's integrated electronic transaction services in Adagio Payables and PayDirt Payroll to start saving time and all the costs associated with writing paper cheques when you pay to anyone in Canada. Speed up your cheque processing time and introduce big savings on courier costs by using TelPay's Remote Signing Feature that allows band officers to authorize payments from anywhere they can access email. You also get comprehensive reporting and audit trails and complete payment history records stored on your computer and retained by TelPay for a minimum of two years.
