Method Community

When you signed into Method today, you probably noticed something was different.  Something was smoother.....but what was it?  It's the new Method Dropdown lists!  This brings an end to a larger development project than you would have thought (well.........it was a lot bigger job than we thought before taking the dive an digging ...

Time flies and I can’t believe it has been nearly 2 years since Method made its first appearance in Las Vegas for the Sleeter Conference.  This week, the Method team returned to Las Vegas at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino for the AICPA Tech+ Conference.  What a completely different feeling it was this time around when answering ...

Yesterday was our first day exhibiting at the California Accounting and Business Show 2009 and we ended the day off with a bang!  Not only did we come face to face with CPAs, accountants, consultants and business executives who were ecstatic to learn about Method’s capabilities, but Method was recognized for being truly innovational to ...

I’d venture to say that a majority of you are like me and throughout the day, the one application that tends to stay open the most often is Microsoft Outlook.  Okay fine, maybe iTunes comes in at a close 2nd, but does that really count?  Without Outlook, I’d be a very lost individual.  You laugh but it’s ...

The majority of the conferences I attend take place in the USA.  I was happily surprised to meet a fellow Canadian, Esther Friedberg, when attending the QuickBooks Enterprise Conference in Dallas last September.  Not only was she from the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) but she was also from the same city I grew up in, Thornhill, ON.  ...

With today’s economy, businesses have to make difficult choices as to where they will spend their hard earned dollars.  For anyone who attended the Scaling New Heights Conference in Atlanta last week, I strongly feel it was money well spent.  This conference gave attendees a very unique opportunity to learn Intuit products, prepare ...

As I leaked out earlier this week in my blog post The future of web apps: end-user web platforms, Method Warehouse is now available!  If you are already a user of Method Full Blown Edition, the news is even better: Method Warehouse is included in your monthly subscription (yes.....even the Method MRP Calculation!).   All you need to ...

Since the launch of Method, I'm asked more and more for my thoughts on what the future holds for small business software.   You might be surprised that I respond that the future of small business software isn't software at all!  The future is customizable web apps, built on end-user web platforms.   During the last 10 ...

…just can’t wait to get on the road again.  Oh come on now, who hasn’t heard the classic Willie Nelson song?  Truth be told, I actually had to Google the lyrics to find out who sang it.  I also had to verify with Katie that I wasn’t the only one that could recognize that song.  Lucky for me, she was an ...
