ECV - Almost Live: Demo

November 16, 2007 is D Day for EC's vaunted Release 2.0

If you want a preview, EC released a demonstration CD. Here's a sample of the Vendor module from the disk. Here's a sample of the Purchase Model.

EC's launch as the industry knows has been waylaid by the withdrawal of the Big 4 and no sign off yet by the Lawyers LPLC.

Anyhow, we now have the benefit of having a peek under the bonnet as EC have released a demonstration disk giving us a video of a sample file.

First thoughts. The vid gives you the feel you are filling out a e-tax form, which didn't make me feel too good about this release. The visual interface looks like it needs a makeover. BUt then again this is just a demo vid.

The digital signing part looks great. The double authentication gives me confidence that it wont be easy for an outsider to hack.

The bit that I bet will make many of us feel a bit queasy is entering in all the bank account details for disbursement of cheques (whoops, I mean funds). No cheques here. We are going to have to obtain bank account details, enter them, check and re-check them. I know this is the future, but. I dont like the responsibility. Can we cut and past bank account details that clients supply us? I dont know but can we store commonly used bank account details, like our office or trust account?

Have a look at the demo I have posted and leave a comment on what you think.
