Aldebaron and Unanet Collaborate to Deliver Integrated Time and Expense Accounting for Government Contractors!

Clients Gain Time and Confidence from Automated DCAA Compliant, SOX Compliant Solution

ROCKVILLE, Md., Sept. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Aldebaron, developers of high- value, government-compliant cost accounting software, and Unanet, providers of dynamic, Web-based professional services automation software, have collaborated to deliver an important update to Aldebaron's software that simplifies the process of importing timesheet and expense data, and automates change notifications in an integrated system. It gives clients a DCAA (Defense Contract Audit Agency) compliant, Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliant solution. Designed expressly for government contractors, Aldebaron's SYMPAQ Release 2.8 cost accounting software now enables professional services companies that track their employees' time and expenses (T&E) to import hundreds, if not thousands, of T&E records into their cost accounting system in a matter of moments. It also lets them automatically send and implement updates, such as employee status changes, to the T&E system, eliminating the time-consuming manual entry of this data.

Aldebaron's SYMPAQ lets government contractors effectively manage all their cost accounting needs with confidence they can pass a DCAA audit. Unanet's Web-based Timesheet and Expense Report software enables the local and remote collection of electronic timesheets and expense reports. Clients using the integrated solution from Aldebaron and Unanet will win back the large amount time otherwise required to manually enter scores of T&E records. They will also have the assurance their solution includes the proper data logs for SOX compliance.

"We worked closely with Unanet to create a solution that would thoroughly address our clients' needs. From the feedback to date, it appears we have achieved our goal," observed Chris Brown, VP, Sales and Marketing for Aldebaron.

"We recognize the importance of teaming with outstanding partners to deliver exactly what our clients require," noted Frances Craig, Founder, President and CEO of Unanet. She added, "Because our clients include government contracting leaders that need this solution, we're anticipating it will be adopted rapidly and extensively. Current and future clients will benefit from the dramatic time savings they'll achieve using the solution."
