Saunders’ 75-minute session, called “Moving
to Mobile: The Future of Time & Billing is Now,” will focus on
how the ability to access pro-level practice management tools across
mobile devices has become essential to operating effectively in today’s
environment. Intuit president and CEO Brad Smith will be among the
keynote speakers at this year’s conference.
“With the advent of more sophisticated technology, your smartphone is
now a whole lot smarter,” says Saunders, who will be presenting Tuesday,
November 5, at 2 p.m. “Mobile isn’t just about staying in touch while
you're out of the office anymore. The next wave of mobile time and
billing apps, including BigTime
Mobile, are so powerful they can virtually replace the desktop for
many functions and forever change the way accountants work. This is no
less than a transformation of practice management, one that will only
accelerate in the new year.”
In 2014, mobile applications are forecast to be among the biggest
software spending increases by decision-makers, according to Forrester
Research’s annual report on IT spending. The pro-level BigTime
Mobile app, launched in 2013, is part of the mobile solution
revolution currently underway in the industry — and was hailed as a
“game changer” in the press because of features that allow users to work
online or offline and seamlessly integrate with phone and email.
Saunders, who has spent almost a decade consulting with small and
mid-sized professional services firms to build the highest-rated time &
billing system on the Intuit Marketplace, created BigTime Software to
work hand-in-hand with QuickBooks. BigTime is the
only time tracking app embedded within Intuit’s own practice management
system. The company previously announced an OEM licensing agreement
with Intuit (NASDAQ: INTU).
BigTime Mobile, available
at the iTunes App Store, is free to current BigTime subscribers. For
