Welcome!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Here's a little St. Patrick's Day history compliments of Dave from eventIQ:

"Kiss me I'm Irish" - A bit of St. Patrick's Day history
St. Patrick was born in Britain but was held prisoner in Ireland by Irish raiders.  Through his six years in captivity he became a devout Christian.  When Patrick escaped, he returned to Britain and studied to become a priest.  Once he was ordained, he was sent back to Ireland on a mission to minister the Christians already living in Ireland and begin converting the Irish.  He died March 17 and so this day has been celebrated ever since.
St. Patrick's Day has become a popular holiday probably because it takes place so close to the first day of spring, the first sight of green.

Happy March!

It's hard to believe that it will soon be Spring, and we know that everyone will want to get out of the office after the long winter; so what better way than to automate the task of payroll!

The newsletter this month is a bit "special" we are surprising are fearless Editor, Nancy Smyth by profiling the awesome products that she and (husband) Ben offer.   Hey Nancy..... Surprise!!!!!   Nancy and Ben are on a much needed vacation; maybe we will even get a picture to share in next month's newsletter!

Nancy puts a great deal of work into the newsletter and IDNAC forum each month, as has for the last two years; and she never mentions the great products that Sunburst Software Solutions (www.sunburstsoftwaresolutions.com) offer; so since I'm "driving" this month, she can't possibly say No :-)!   Be sure to read all the great articles and visit their site and forums, as someone who used to do Certified Payroll reports and AIA billings by hand, I can certainly appreciate the time their products save.   The Wage Manager is one of my all-time favorite add-on products; any industry can benefit and the first time you use it - it has paid for itself.

We are also featuring PayCycle, Inc. (www.paycyclecpa.com) this month; I started using their service almost 2 years ago and have been thrilled with every aspect.   They offer top-notch customer service, a 30 day free trial, and have received some of the top awards in the industry.   Please be sure to read all about them and how you can offer payroll to your clients the ˜easy" way!

The IDNAC Forum/Site
Seeking feedback, suggestions and help.
Nancy say's that she would like to do some major improvements on the IDNAC site - especially in the area of how to handle all the previous articles from this newsletter - the Newsletter Archive page is just growing and growing and she is wondering if you are having problems finding what you are looking for.  Would you like a searchable database?  Any suggestions for the forum?  New Forum sections, removal of current forum sections, organization suggestions?  Lastly, is there anyone out there that would be willing to donate a few hours over the next 3 months to help her set up a searchable database?  The site comes complete with SQL databases, but she simply don't have the time to configure and design one.  Feel free to send your thoughts to Nancy.
