    Epicor Software
    It is well suited for billing service storage and retrieval. It ends the need to pay extra for a storage space. It also makes for easy cleanup of files on a yearly basis.

    My favorite part is using if for analytical review reports, especially budget to actual reviews. I can make changes to the GL based on issues found during the review and the report updates immediately without having to update, re-key, verify changes, etc. I know it is going to be updated and correct every time.

    Pros
    Epicor Software
    • Templates - By being able to create templates for each document type, it made organizing files much easier. It also made the titles similar in format, which also allows for better organization.
    • We were able to scan documents directly into docStar, which helped us eliminate extra steps. For example, if we were missing a page from a document, and we received it at a later time, we could scan just that page into docStar as opposed to scanning the entire document again.
    • The functionalities are straight forward, so it is not hard to use the docStar system.

    • Once a worksheet has been created, you can change a single cell and update the entire report. This makes it much easier than recreating a report every time you start.
    • It draws data directly from our database that can be filtered down in various ways. This allows us to get the data that we really need quicker.

    Cons
    Epicor Software
    • Cost is an issue, pricey for what it's essentially glorified cloud storage.
    • No ability to lookup vehicles by stock number or phone number.

    • Access to comprehensive training for new users is lacking. While the pay-based BizNet University has some useful videos it doesn't allow for other learning styles.
    • Having to create a separate OCBC data source and linked server for each arm of business opened is sometimes a hassle.

    Lack of communication from BizNet on new policies with the resellers, changes in the policies that affect the client aren't positive in my opinion

    We went pretty seamlessly into BizNet, but could have had lots of trouble if the professional service was not aware of our set up and use.

    A former employee of our company chose DocStar after much research and Q&A with the DocStar seller. I believe she truly put a lot of time/effort into choosing this system, but the end result is that it is not a good match for our company. After reviewing her notes, I believe she chose the system due to its ability to be customized through the template system

    FRX - Great Plains Report Writer - These do produce financial reports but are much more tedious to set up. BizNet is much more flexible and easier to use. The functionality is an Excel add-on which allows us to use the powerful functionality of Excel as well as Biznet's functionality to do data retrieval from Sage 100 general ledger.

    Return on Investment
    Epicor Software
    • We have saved almost 10,000 dollars a year just in toner cost. We had to implement some up front cost for tablets and other computer aspects but the initial cost of this was about 3,000 to 4,000 dollars. docStar has saved us an instrumental amount of money and will so in the future as well.

    • BizNet continues to pay for itself.
    • I am sure we haven't even learned to use half of what it is capable of and their customer service is top notch.
    • I would say that BizNet continues to have a positive impact on our entire financial portion of our business.
