Tally.ERP 9 has been finally launched for the customers. I will keep posted of more features and functionality of the information on the website in coming days.

You can download the beta from http://www.tallysolutions.com/tallyerp9.shtml

The biggest and the best feature available is the availability of remote access

New paradigms in Tally.ERP 9

The availability of remote access, other remote capabilities and other facilities which come with Tally.Net have brought about this possibility of a paradigm shift in the way customers use Tally. Let us see some of the ways in which customers may use and benefit from Tally.ERP 9.

Remote Access

Scenarios of use

By Owner

I have a factory (factory-cum-office) which is some distance away from where I stay. I now have the ability to look at what happened yesterday (sales, purchases, collections, expenses, production etc.) before I even have my breakfast and based on this I can now give instructions for the day. This means that the office now starts functioning effectively and does not have to wait for me to arrive at the factory. This is a huge improvement in efficiency.

I frequently travel and I love the fact that now I can keep track of what is happening in the office.

In the days before cell phones, we used to go to a supplier or a customer’s office and

in case of a need, could use his office phone to complete urgent business. I can now use anyone’s Tally like that– to access my data residing at my office.

Soon, I can simply go to my vendor’s office, negotiate a purchase and using his computer and Tally, log on to my data, with my license (username and password),* enter a purchase order and print it out on his printer! .

My son runs an independent company and I have remote access on it. This is perfect for keeping an eye on things without any embarrassment between me and my son.

I keep some of my sensitive and personal accounts at a computer at home and I operate on the data remotely, even from office.

I take a long time to travel to work and I am able to work from my car using my lap top, which has an internet data card. I discovered that I don’t even need a separate license for operating remotely from my lap top

Very useful when I go out on my collections — I can even take a print-out of my entire customer ledger from the customer’s own machine.

*When I am on vacation, I don’t like to be troubled. I will be now able to SMS queries to my copy of Tally.ERP 9 and get the answers. I would prefer to do this, rather than to have a two-way conversation with my accountant!

By Others in the company

*I have sales people traveling to various towns and booking orders. They can now update their orders from the customer’s place itself or go to a cyber café and do it.

My sales people do one better than that. I have bought each one of then a USB memory device costing a few hundred rupees. An educational version of Tally runs from that. Even if our customers don’t have Tally, my sales person simply borrows the use of the customer’s machine and he is connected to our Tally .He can now look at the customer’s outstandings, order positions etc.

Access by the Chartered Accountant

I am an engineer and I don’t want to be bothered about all these statutory conditions and formalities. I also would like my peace mind. I don’t want to be worried and wondering about the possibility of some criminal case slapped on me – simply because I did not know. Ideally, I would like some CA to ensure that my accounts, various aspects of taxation and the way I have recorded my transactions etc. are OK. Today, thanks to the special access my auditor can have to my information, it becomes Practicable and affordable for him, and therefore for me to ensure that my company is doing everything right.

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.
