Worldwide, the micro and small enterprises (MSEs) have been accepted as the engine of economic growth and for promoting equitable development. The MSEs constitute over

90% of total enterprises in most of the economies and are credited with generating the highest  rates  of  employment  growth  and  account  for  a  major  share  of  industrial production and exports. In India too, the MSEs play a pivotal role in the overall industrial economy of the country. It is estimated that in terms of value, the sector accounts for about  39%  of  the  manufacturing  output  and  around  33%  of  the  total  export  of  the country. -  Ministry  of  Micro,  Small  and  Medium  Enterprises,  Government  of  India,  http://www.msme.gov.in

Tally Solutions has been in the business of providing complete business solutions from over 20 years to MSME businesses in emerging markets. We have over 3 million users in over 100 countries and continue to be the preferred IT solution for many hundreds of thousands of businesses every year.

Tally 9 – its flagship product (which started as a simple bookkeeping system 20 years ago), is today a comprehensive, integrated solution – covering several business aspects  of  an  enterprise.     These  include,  Accounting,  Finance  Management,  Receivables  / Payables,  Inventory  Accounting,  Inventory  Management,  BoM  based  manufacturing  inventory,  multi-location  /  multi-currency  /  multi-unit  handling,  Budgets  and  Controls, Cost  and  Profit  Centres,  Job  Costing,  POS,  Group  Company  consolidations,  Statutory Taxes (Excise, VAT, CST, TDS, TCS, FBT, etc), Payroll Accounting, and other major and  minor  capabilities.      For  all  practical  purposes,  it  has  served  as  an  ERP  for  small enterprises since the introduction of Tally 5.0 almost 12 years ago.

 Yet, we had resisted labeling it as an ERP for a very simple reason.   We have always believed that to ‘qualify’ for such an august label, the system should inherently support the ability to operate the enterprise from anywhere.  That is, the owner(s), or any other authorised person, should be able to work on their information – even without direct physical access to the systems.      Effectively, we wanted the capability to extend Tally beyond the physical boundary of the installation. With the availability of Remote Access and Remote Authentication, we are now satisfied that it is time to label the product as Tally.ERP.

Beginning  with  Tally.ERP  9  Release  3,  we  will  progressively  deliver  the  capabilities required even by Medium & Large corporations. These too are detailed below.
