NewViews is accounting software that is developed and distributed by Q.W.Page Associates Inc., a privately held company based in Aurora, Ontario, Canada. NewViews is noted for its integrated, non-modular approach, which enables the total financial cycle to be updated instantly as each transaction is added.〔''NewViews Scraps Complexities Used by Most Accounting Packs'', Computer Reseller News, April 1987〕 It also allows users to customize nearly every aspect of a set of books.〔''NewViews: A New Paradigm for Accounting Software'', The Price Waterhouse Report, PC Magazine, May 1987〕 This flexibility comes with a trade-off, however, as NewViews is perceived to have a long learning curve,〔''New Approach to Accounting from NewViews'', The CPA Software News, June–July 1994〕 and to require an investment of time and effort to create a customized accounting solution. In a software review published in InfoWorld, NewViews was compared to "going to a tailor and handing him a bolt of cloth and a pair of scissors."〔''Software Reviews'', InfoWorld, March 1987〕 ==History== NewViews was first launched in Canada in September 1985 at the Toronto International Software Show.〔Computing Canada, October 3, 1985〕 In November 1986, shortly after its U.S. launch, NewViews was awarded PC Magazine’s Award for Technical Excellence at Comdex in Las Vegas.〔PC Magazine’s Third Annual Awards for Technical Excellence, Fall Comdex ‘86, http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,1167668,00.asp〕 NewViews was considered a radical departure from other accounting software programs.〔''Desktop Accounting with Newviews'', New Accountant, March 1990〕〔''New Approach to Accounting from NewViews'', The CPA Software News, June–July 1994〕 It was described by some as revolutionary,〔''Jackpot!'', Report on Business Magazine, The Globe and Mail, August 1987〕〔''NewViews 1.41: Visual Accounting Pioneer'', Accounting Technology, July 1993〕 by others as making the dry business of accounting exciting and fun.〔''Peripherals; 386 Machines All The Rage At ExhibitionScience Article'', The New York Times, November 1986, http://www.nytimes.com/1986/11/11/science/peripherals-386-machines-all-the-rage-at-exhibition.html〕 It dispensed with separate modules (e.g. accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, etc.) and organized accounting documents into an integrated hierarchical structure that was updated in real-time. It also allowed users to view and edit accounting documents in much the same way they could view and edit data on a spreadsheet.〔Computer Reseller News, April 1987〕 After a lengthy delay, the multi-user version of NewViews (NV2) was released for Microsoft Windows in 2005. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「NewViews」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
