The e-conomic application, as well as the e-conomic API, is still offline.

Multiple technicians at both e-conomic and our hosting partner Fujitsu are working hard to resolve this problem.

We will keep you updated with progress information – at least every half hour.

Best regards,
e-conomic

The e-conomic application, as well as the e-conomic API, is currently offline.

We are looking into this right now, and will keep you updated continuously.

Best regards,
e-conomic

On very, very popular demand, we have now added a GetAllUpdated(fromDate) method for debtors/customers, creditors/suppliers, products, projects, and accounts, to the e-conomic API. This returns all entities that have been changed since the specified fromDate (CET).

This will obviously make it possible to achieve massive speed-ups of synchronizations of e.g. customer registers between e-conomic and other systems.

Read more about these functions here.

If you’re using .NET, to use any of these new features, you’ll have to use the latest version of our .NET assembly – which is available here.

Three new features have been added to the API this week:

Price groups are now available
Find customer by e-mail
Accounts now expose their opening account

If you’re using .NET, to use any of these new features, you’ll have to use the latest version of our .NET assembly – which is available here.

When the latest Windows update has occured some customers might have problems with the Invoice tab. The solution is to restore the default internet options under Tools -> Internet Options -> tab: Advanced -> Restore advanced settings.

This will take care of the problem.

We continuouesly strive to improve e-conomic not just as a product and the code behind it, but also the developers that make the code. We do this in many different ways, but one of the ways is to follow other blogs on both what is happening in the bookkeeping business and what is happening in the technical realm.

We tend to move around a little at the office mainly to achieve what is summarized in the popular buzz word knowledge sharing. A few weeks ago my turn was up and I was asked if I wanted to transfer to another team working on our future frontend interface, centralized around the Journal. The main objective is speed, performance and usability experience. And the Journal input experience will be very similar to what you see in most spreadsheet applications. This was too exciting, as a backend developer I had to give it a go and this is now my primary concern for the time to come.

Because of several circumstances I have seen myself a little unfortunate when it comes to keeping a job for the last three or four years but I take comfort in the fact that I have never been fired because of incompetence – not to my knowledge anyway.

In these days, work on our new generation user interface (UI) project is starting up – a project that will ensure that we also in the future can provide you with a modern, up-to-date accounting platform.

Our main challenges in this work is to improve user experience of the system, i.e. make the system faster, make the system more flexible, and adapt the system to the everyday of accountants, bookkeepers, and other users of the system.

Performance is a central issue for web applications and we have had our share of difficulties with performance in the past. In the new UI project, we aim to address the performance issues upfront.  Thus, we aim to develop a high-performance application with short response time, efficient data entering processes, as well as an application optimized for both keyboard and mouse navigation.

In modern IT systems, the user expects and should expect flexibility, and we have much focus on developing a system with a proper fit to your everyday. Which data is relevant for your business, where should it be accessed and displayed, and how should it be entered? In the future, you will get more control yourself, or you can of course continue to rely on the setups specified by our country managers.

To reach these goals we have a lot of prototyping and experiments to do, and a lot of technology to test, for example in relation to client-side caching of data to improve performance and use of AJAX to increase interactivity, and we will implement both client side and server side unit tests, to ensure the necessary quality of our software. This is not a small task!

So, when will you benefit from this work?

We have a number of projects in the pipeline, which will build on the new UI project, and updating the journal will be one of the first to be implemented.  By implementing a number of different journal types, the new journal concept should be both more specialized and more flexible, and thus, it should provide a better support for e-conomic users in various different countries and use contexts.

e-conomic is now back online.

For the record: While the e-conomic system has been unavailable, no data has been lost or compromised.

We deeply regret the inconveniences caused by today’s downtime.
