Pencil drawing of an early-1990s computer, an accounting ledger and payment documents. — Accounting records and financial documents become part of computer-based work.

Challenge

In the early 1990s, personal computers were becoming accounting tools. Keep-Book aimed to bring accounting work into software and provide an application for users beyond the development team.

Solution

I.V.A. developed and released the Keep-Book accounting system in 1992. Additional modules followed in 1994: Dollar, Payment Order, Payment Request and Form Editor. The system evolved as a set of related tools for accounting and document preparation.

Outcome

Keep-Book represents an early stage of I.V.A.’s product work: proprietary MS-DOS application software and its subsequent expansion. This experience preceded the development of the Miracle programming environments.
