What's New at Sunburst Software Solutions, Inc. - 2006

December, 2006

Certified Payroll Solution Update - Added the City of Kansas City, MO certified payroll report along with the Daily Labor Report and Employee List; as required by the City of Kansas City, Mo.

Modifications to Support Policy - due to an ever growing customer base, we have found it necessary to modify our Support Policy.  These modifications focus on actual "Technical Support" for our software versus QuickBooks training; allowing us to focus on software enhancements. 

Slight pricing increase - due to the ever rising costs of postage and gas; we have slightly increased the prices of software purchases on CD with printed manuals that are shipped either Priority or Express Mail.

Sunburst Software Solutions, Inc. is one of the first 13 developers to achieve Gold Developer Status in the new Intuit Developer Network program.  Gold Developer status is the highest status currently available and provides QuickBooks users with the assurance of quality, compatibility, and additional product/company reviews by third parties, when considering solutions that integrate with QuickBooks.

In order to achieve QuickBooks Gold Developer status, our software products had to pass a form QuickBooks Technical Review process administered by an independent third party certification laboratory.  The QuickBooks Technical Review process ensures that third party applications meet a high quality standard of operations and compatibility that is expected by customers, while verifying appropriate integrations, data exchange, security, and error handling.  Additionally, an independent third party performed a "Customer Satisfaction Survey" with existing customers, and a ProAdvisor Review is required. 

According to Shannon Adkins, Senior Manager, Developer Engagement & Customer Marketing of the Intuit Developer Network, she stated that the "results of Sunburst's customer satisfaction survey were higher than that of Harley-Davidson or Ford Motor Company".
