COMPARE AND CONTRAST PROGRAMS
FOR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS
At home I have Microsoft Office, not the 2000 version but I can tell you this program is
like no other when it comes to presentation and processor capabilities. It is the
cadillac of the programs. I have contemplated getting the office 2000 version however I
am told it is very complicated and not generally for home or small business use. It is
generally for the company that networks and moves around on the world wide web. As far as
their database goes, it is also fairly good with Microsoft Access however transporting
the database into other programs is still difficult in that it is complicated. Publisher
2000 is again an added boost to this program since it is able to help you with any
publication/presentation, mailings and so on. The cost is high also which makes it less
attractive for the small business owner. 
Microsoft Back Office, Small Business Server, is just that, a server. The cost is more
reasonable however its capabilities are limited. 
Arc Server IT 6.6 is an excellent program for a small business because it has great
database movement capabilities. It's backup and security programs are terrific which is
paramount for a small business. I have know small business owners who have spent hours
trying to recoup their database. It can cost them a lot of time and money with this type
of a problem. This company also provides help, 24 hours of the day which is the biggest
help for these store owners. There is almost no amount of money that can surpass this
quality.
