Graduate Business System's GBS2 Business Package (also known as VSoft) has been in use for over 12 years and outperforms many $100,000+ software based Business Management Systems..
The software was written by VSOFT Systems Australia. (hence its popular name 'VSOFT')
VSOFT Systems has over thirty years of industry experience, specializing in customized business software solutions. The software was written by college graduates and lecturers. It was written to encourage a closer partnership between colleges, graduates and small business.

GBS2 is a fully featured, multi-company, multi-user accounting software package.
Our larger sites have 15+ workstations and sales in excess of 10 million dollars per year.
VSoft is also used by many ‘One man’ home businesses.

• Debtors, Creditors, Purchasing, Inventory, Sales analysis, Gen.Ledger Etc.
(click here for more features)

• Size of Business
-Using Microsoft Access ® as the Database, this software has some preferred upper limits.. E.g. Under 20 workstations; Under a million products; Under a thousand invoices per week. Under 100 ‘companies' on the one server. Because reports are run on 8x11 inch paper, most $ values are limited to 99 million and most Item price columns are 999,000.
For the Small user, option settings allow the same system to be used just for home -Cheque book Reconciliation.

The VSoft support teams..
Local support for VSoft is provided by local franchised support groups.
These groups consist of..
• A senior Bookkeeper (who usually administers the group and is the registered franchisee)
• A senior PC Tech. who arranges the purchase and installation of hardware.
• A senior Inventory / Warehouse adviser who, together with the Bookkeeper, provides the initial site appraisal.
• Two or three operator Trainers who provide initial training and ongoing support.
• Optionally, the group can have one or two members that concentrate on building PCs.
• The group is required to acquire the casual services of a senior Networking specialist and a Web-Store designer.
(This Web-Store designer (VSWS) will be responsible for the installation and support of the VSoft WebStores.)
The founding and supervision of these worldwide groups will be the responsibility of one of the larger Colleges in that region. These colleges receive a large percentage of the local annual VSoft registration fees.

Is VSoft too complex for my needs?
We have many 'Home Businesses' using VSoft. Many of them have a small web-store or simply sell on eBay. They may only do one invoice a day and only use a few of the hundreds of functions embedded in VSoft. The $100 per year rental of VSoft suits them well.

Note..
VSoft will probably not be compatible with Windows 7 for a year or two.
Even though VSoft is 100% microsoft, it is based on a thousand microsoft sub-components that may not work properly for several years. With every new OS (operating system) since 3.1 we have had to wait several years before that OS became compatible with VSoft. We never have to modify VSoft, we just wait till it works again. We don't expect Win.7 to be any different.
The fact that MS can take a few years to get a new OS compatible with its own software is a concern..  It's one of the reasons most medium to large businesses NEVER adopt a new OS before its third year or until SP2.  Many mega-corporations only upgraded to XP three years ago! (At enormous expense.) Many of them have no intention of upgrading again for another 5 years.

The main problem for corporations is that every new OS "crashes" badly for the first few years - And every time a workstation crashes during a data-transaction, the system administrator needs to be called in. (at great expense) It was only a few years ago that XP was considered "stable".
Microsoft has conceded that this is a major problem and is now allowing users to apply new Win.7 licenses to re-installations of XP.
