One of our competitor's has issued a statement which looks like it disputes the claims made here. They have, I note issued no evidence to show why the information supplied by Xero about their API which I reported is incorrect.
In any case, my advice is unchanged there are six systems servicing the Australian Cloud accountancy market - MYOB, QuickBooks, Reckon, Saasu, Sage and Xero. All are good systems. All are worthy of looking into. For the record after an internal review, we decided on Quickbooks for our business.
