No matter where you are, you are most likely surrounded by, and make use of, the benefits being provided to you by what we refer to as "Small Businesses". These are businesses of perhaps fewer than 25 people. They don't have an IT staff, they don't have programmers on the payroll, and they don't have the luxury of being able to use custom designed software. Where do they turn to for their computing and software needs? How exactly do they take care of something as important as accounting? Often it is through the use of spreadsheets, or mass market programs which may not be flexible enough for their specific needs.

In this episode, we talk with Karan Khanna and Christin Boyd to learn about the Small Business Accounting Platform, and how it is being designed to provide a development platform that will allow ISVs to easily and effectively develop cost-effective applications for small businesses to use for their daily operation needs. By providing an easy to develop for platform, we not only make it possible for small businesses to access software that is customized for them, but also open up new business opportunities for ISVs that want to provide software for this market.
