mP-MIS is unique in that it is not limited to one hardware platform or one operating system.
The same set of mP-MIS programs runs on the following hardware platforms:
-
SUN SPARC
-
IBM (PS and RISC)
-
AT&T
-
Wyse
-
Compaq
-
Digital
mP-MIS runs on the following operating systems:
-
MS/DOS
-
XENIX
-
UNIX
-
Linux
-
AIX
-
AUX
-
Windows 95/98
-
Windows NT
Another unique aspect of mP-MIS is the ability to switch certain features on or off through the
use of system options. With these switchable features, mP-MIS software meets the accounting and
business management needs of a wide variety of businesses while still providing the specific
functions required in many of the vertical markets.
In addition, many programs designed for specific vertical markets have been added to the
mP-MIS basic modules. At the present time these additional programs, in combination with the
ability to select specific system options, allow mP-MIS to meet the special needs of computer
dealers, light manufacturing companies and distributors.
For smaller companies a "trimmed down" version, mP-MIS Lite, is available at reduced cost.
mP-MIS modules can be used independently with the exception of:
-
Order Entry which requires I/M and A/R
-
Point of Sale, Sales Analysis, Show and Seminar Tracking, and Service Equipment, all of
which require O/E, I/M and A/R
-
Internal Inventory Use Tracking which requires I/M , A/R and S/E.
Each module can be integrated with the rest of the system for data flow and/or data input
verification.
mP-MIS documentation consists of a User's Guide for each module complete with mP-MIS
conversion forms, program explanations, detailed step-by-step operating instructions and data
entry specifications. The management section in each User's Guide covers system level aspects
of the software and includes report, screen and file layouts. A general Site Manager's Guide
covers day-to-day housekeeping functions. An Installation and Training Guide aides in tailoring
the system to a company's specific requirements.
The mP-MIS accounting package implements a menu sub-system using standardized routines. This
operational consistency not only benefits end users by substantially reducing training time,
but also reduces programming time and costs for custom applications.
mP-MIS is accessed by password and can be tailored by individual password to provide varied
access privileges and a customized view of master and history file information.
A user's password can give full access (add, change, delete and inquire) to all information in
a file. Passwords can grant change or inquiry access only to a file and limit the screen
display to those fields which can be changed. Passwords can be assigned which permit inquiry
access only to all or part of the information in a file.
The use of individual programs or functions can also be controlled by password. The user can
have access to a module, but not to all programs or functions in the module. Functions which
are not allowed for a password do not show as selections on that user's menu.
The Account Group sub-system of the General Ledger Interface provides a mechanism for sending
data from individual modules to the General Ledger, thereby eliminating virtually all manual
journal entries.
If the power should go off during posting with mP-MIS, just power up the system and continue
the posting process where you left off without risk of double posting. Because microPOWER has
the programming capability and literally knows these modules inside and out, technical support
mis always close by. Should you need it, modifications to any of the modules can be made to fit
the unique demands of any accounting system.microPOWER owns the rights to and markets
nationwide mP-MIS, a full accounting package made up of twenty individual modules. Our
accounting customers include many local business as well as customers thruout the United
States.
mpMIS offers many advantages that other business accounting programs do not. It is a flexible
accounting system capable of running on various types of hardware and operating systems. It can
be setup as a small single-user system and can be expanded as need demands, or as a large
multi-user, multi-location system.
