eTEK Fundamentals

eTEK Fundamentals is designed to meet the specialized needs for fund accounting, cash management, payroll, utility billing, fund raising, donor management and other applications, typically found in small government organizations, churches and not-for-profits (NFP’s). Comprehensive reporting capabilities are built-in and designed to provide “information at your fingertips” so users remain in step with changing reporting regulations.

While eTEK Fundamentals is available for traditional in-house desktop and client/server implementations, it is focused primarily on providing full-feature fund accounting capabilities through its web-hosted version so smaller organizations can realize a level of security typically not found in smaller organizations.

Many small government and not-for-profit organizations simply cannot afford to maintain the level of IT infrastructure comparable to larger organizations regarding data security, user remote access flexibility, and fail-safe, automatic full system backup & recovery facilities. eTEK’s cloud-based Fundamentals is offered as a low-cost, web-hosted solution, sold as software-as-a-service (SaaS) subscriptions. Hosted in an extensive network of co-location server farms, the web-hosting environment used by eTEK Fundamentals has completed the SAS70 Type II Audit, the highest level of security available for private co-location facilities. At least six different interlinked co-location facilities comprise the eTEK Fundamantals web-hosting backbone, thus providing an unparalleled level of security.

eTEK Fundamentals includes time-tested proven fund accounting functionality as implemented in close to 300 municipal government organizations (reference Enhanced Business Systems, Albany, New York). eTEK Fundamentals provides a modern Microsoft Office “ribbon“-based graphical user interface (GUI), as found in all of eTEK's current products. From a user's perspective, eTEK Fundamentals ”looks and feels“ just like current Microsoft Office desktop applications, such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook.

Application modules, available in various optional combinations to meet specific organizational needs, include the following: General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable (includes optional Utility Billing and Counter Sales ), Fixed Assets, Payroll, Cash Management (includes Cash Disbursements & Receipts; Bank Reconciliation), Purchase Orders, Budget Preparation, Allocations Management, Electronic Funds Transfer, Fund Raising & Donor Management, System Utilities (includes ability to configure unique user-level security settings), and On-Line Help (with built-in web video tutorials).
