The recent penetration of technology in organizational account processes has come as a boon. Thus, enterprises are now transitioning from manual books of records tomore user-friendly accounting software for bringing in transparency, flexibility and seamless internal operations. Visualizing this growing need, Osler Patrick Fajardo and Dean Go, together incepted Mustard Seed Systems Corporation in 1999. Their primary objective then was to introduce off-the-shelf sale accounting and point-of-sale software for the growing number of small and medium sized businesses in Quezon City, Philippines.
