We are also investing continually in our people. We have a tremendous knowledge base of employees who have been serving the technology needs of work boat companies for years. These folks understand the market, understand the needs of the clients and know how to successfully deliver software. This is no easy task in the work boat market. Most com- panies have little or no IT profession- als on staff and therefore have differ- ent implementation requirements than is typical of other industries.

MarineCFO understands how to flex our staff to deliver exactly what the client requires to successfully com- plete an implementation.

MarineCFO always stays in lock step with the latest developments from Microsoft. Our product is based upon a 100% Microsoft technology stack and we have a constant ongoing research and development effort to keep our product up to speed.

Additionally, we are always adding new features and functionality based upon customer requests. As we men- tioned earlier, MarineCFO is meant to be changed and customized based upon the users’ specific needs. As we see features that we think are valuable to the entire work boat community we work with clients to see if they will allow us to offer the feature to the market in return for a reduced development cost. MarineCFO also sees the cloud as the future of soft- ware and is investing heavily in web- based solutions. Currently, we offer

MarineCFO Live! which is aimed at small work boat companies. We fully expect to extend the features of this web version into a full-scale version of MarineCFO to provide a solution for mid and large sized companies.
