Most small businesses know that choosing a new accounting system can be a daunting task. "You would always find yourself caught between two stools when making the right choice for your accounting software. But you don't necessarily have to bite off more than you can chew, when you have accounting professionals to guide you towards making the right decision," John Rocha, the Technical Service Manager of a leading data repair and conversion service, E-Tech, said.

QuickBooks and NetSuite both offer cloud-based financial management software designed to help companies run their businesses.

According to E-Tech's QuickBooks advisors, an optimization of QuickBooks data files larger than 500MB is required every 6 to 12 months to ensure they run at optimal performance.

A SuperCondense service is an enhanced condense that reduces the size of a QuickBooks file by 40 to 80 percent, resulting in improved speed and performance.

There has been quite a brouhaha regarding QuickBooks' name and item capacity limit for Pro, Premier, and Accountant versions of the software.

E-Tech's SuperCondense File Service works by reducing file sizes from 50 and 80 percent of the original file size, resulting in increased speed and transfer time. The QuickBooks Condense feature, on the other hand, has been proven to reduce files between 31 and 49 percent.
