Saying Goodbye to a Longtime Friend

Oct 17

Posted by Joe Abler in General | No Comments

For those of you that haven’t heard, we recently lost a dear friend and colleague. Paul Mansfield passed away after a fierce battle with health issues. His relationship with STI spanned over 30 years. Paul was smart, lively, funny, caring, polite, and treated others like he wanted to be treated. Many of us had the fortunate opportunity to know Paul, and hear his impassioned speech about life during the forum just a few years ago. Paul was one of a kind and will be missed dearly by our STI family. Below is a Facebook post by Paul with Dan Berlin outside our office during his last visit.

Positive Pay Fraud Detection Tool

Sep 19

Posted by Joe Abler in Technical | No Comments

Some firms that issue many checks use an automated fraud detection tool called Positive Pay. This service is available with most banks and matches account number, check number and dollar amount of each check compared to a previously authorized list issued by the company. We’re occasionally asked if our software can work in conjunction with this service. Although we do not have direct integration with it, firms that use the ODBC Driver or Platinum SQL can obtain the required information out of Accounts Payable using queries.

Many of our consultants are capable of producing this type of information. If you’re not already familiar with a consultant proficient with ODBC querying, please contact Joe Abler in our office. You can also visit the Find a Consultant map on our website to locate a certified consultant you may wish to contact.

Price Estimator

Aug 3

Posted by Joe Abler in Marketing, Tips | No Comments

We hope everyone is enjoying the look and feel of the new Home Page and Knowledge Base sites!  Our previous site included the Price Estimator which was used by prospects and consultants alike to determine retail pricing.  Our new pricing page prompts firms that have 6 or more users/timekeepers to complete a brief intake form to receive a price quote.  This allows us to capture information to generate a lead.  We follow up with a custom quote to these firms and provide consultant contact information.  Firms with 5 or fewer users can use the Price Estimator on the web site, but they are also encouraged to request a custom quote so we can capture their lead information as well.  In addition to standard license costs, we now include subscription pricing for firms of this size.

For those of you that used the original Price Estimator to obtain retail pricing for all firm sizes, it is still available.  It’s located at http://support.tabs3.com/pricing/pricing_info.aspx with a link right here on eNews under Discount Rates | Pricing Calculator.  This link is intended for consultant use only.  Please do not share with prospects or clients.

Be sure to email DeAnna Masterson in our office if you happen to notice anything that doesn’t appear correctly on eNews, Knowledge Base, or our Home Page.

New Tabs3 Website!

Jul 19

Posted by Joe Abler in Marketing, PR / Announcements | No Comments

The new Tabs3 website is now live so check it out! We hope you like the changes and new modern look. We’re proud of all the work and effort that went into it. Be sure to let DeAnna Masterson know if you have suggestions or notice anything that doesn’t look correct.

You’ll notice on the new website that pricing is only provided for small firms. Mid-sized firms and larger will be required to fill out minimal firm information before they receive pricing which will allow us to capture more leads to share.  This Consultant Pricing Page link is for consultants only, and will take you to the original Price Estimator that includes pricing at all levels. This link will soon be available on eNews.
