Alpha Five/QLinker will allow users to easily and quickly move data back and forth between QuickBooks and Alpha Five.

The ability to easily and painlessly transfer data between the two programs will finally enable small business users to have complete and fully integrated information and accounting systems, thereby ensuring that they are not at a competitive disadvantage to larger companies.

As a result, users and companies will benefit by being able to:

•	Build highly customized reports based on their QuickBooks accounting data using the very powerful and flexible visual report writer that is part of Alpha Five.
•	Design fully customized data entry screens including enhanced error checking, lookups and validation in Alpha Five. This "clean" information can then be transferred to the appropriate files in QuickBooks.
•	Use the robust analytical and statistical tools offered by Alpha Five to "mine" data from QuickBooks and generate greater insight into the company's business and thereby increase profitability and competitiveness
•	Manipulate and massage QuickBooks accounting data for use by other users in a company. Build robust and highly customized applications based on QuickBooks data quickly and easily
•	Use Alpha Five's sophisticated multi-file personalized letter and e-mail-merge features to increase sales, improve customer service and streamline purchasing
•	Eliminate double entry of data in the information and accounting systems. Companies will now be able to have a unified and integrated information system with one set of data without having to re-key any information.
•	Track additional data about clients/prospects/vendors etc., over and above what QuickBooks requires

"Intuit and Alpha Software both recognize that small business owners juggle many daily tasks and they are constantly looking for ways to streamline their operations," said Esther Kruijver, director of the Intuit Developer Network. "Enabling the exchange of data between Alpha Five and the QuickBooks 2003 products will help small businesses save time and manage their resources more efficiently, allowing them to spend more time actually running their business."
