"I never dreamed we would be able to manage our business the way we can with Summit, let alone be able to talk with someone who understands the industry so well."—TS in ID
"After our company sold to a larger firm, my accounting manager came to the conclusion he wanted his Summit program back. In fact, he was willing to spend his own money just to do that! The flexibility and control were much greater, and the cost, including any desired changes, was a fraction of the other company's program."—PP in CA/TX
