| Hi One of the things a developer must take into consideration even before starting software development is the costs of development compared to the amount of potential return. Previously AaaTeX Corp. dba QBTeK.com looked into developing a specific Australian QuickBooks interface for AyaNova and posted about it here on this forum, but from their non-reply must have felt the return was not feasible for themselves. We are looking into providing an Australian QuickBooks interface for AyaNova, but because it requires a completely different SDK than the US, Canadian and UK QuickBooks; and does not allow us to just "re-use" QBI internal code because the "lanaguage" of Australian QuickBooks is completely different from that of US, Canadian or UK QuickBooks; we are looking at serious investment of time and money on our part, as well as shuffling existing development projects. Before we would proceed with developing an Australian QuickBooks interface, we need to determine if we will at minimum break even. To do that, we need to get an idea of how many potential Australian QBI purchases would be made, and at what license price. Believe me, we do not set our license prices based on what the market will bear, but on what the minimum it takes to break even with a bit of profit to pay bills so that we continue another 10 years in business, and another 10 years after that and so on Provide the following information in a private message, or direct email to support@ayanova.com or a reply to this topic directly if desired - subject line "potential Australian QBI interface"
- your company name
- city and country
- whether existing AyaNova licensed user or potential licensed user
- # of schedulable user licenses presently in use, or potentially in use
- would you purchase Australian QBI at $375.00
- would you purchase Australian QBI at $750.00
- would you purchase Australian QBI at $1125.00
I will continue to leave this posting up here for the winter, with compatibility with QBI depending on the number of responses.

2. Bay Document Solutions Ltd (Ricoh BOP)
3. Tauranga, New Zealand
4. Existing licensed user
5. 1 user. Potential for 5-6 more if we ever decide to use the scheduler.
6. would you purchase Australian QBI at $375.00 - if that's in US Dollars then would most definitely purchase at that price. Any higher may not be feasible given the amount of retraining involved for our staff & ongoing support (i.e. hassling me constantly as to how to use the new feature & why/why aren't things working, etc). However I don't make the financial decisions so the boss may surprise & be willing to fork out more for the product if the sales pitch is good enough.
