Testimonials
"When we first got started, I was very impressed with the way Two Step implemented our new account. The set-up, transition, communication and everything went much quicker and easier than I had ever hoped. Our CFO was thrilled as well.
"I was also very impressed with the the look and feel of Equity Focus, including the pie charts. Other equity management programs I've used were much more basic and less user-friendly. I could definitely see my CEO and CFO using it for Board presentations or during fund raising.
"In short, kudos to all of you for making this happen. You can be assured, that I will certainly pass this along to all of my colleagues in the medical device industry."

"When our audit firm became uncomfortable with the use of spreadsheets for our FAS 123R calculations, we looked for a comprehensive system that could provide more than just the typical FAS 123R features, would not be ridiculously priced, and could get us up and running fast. I
looked at a lot of solutions, but none of them were capable of supporting all of our objectives at a price point we could afford— that is, until I learned of Two Step Software's Equity Focus.

"After seeing the demo, I knew that we had to have this product.
In the past, FAS 123R had been a point of contention with our auditors. Now, with Equity Focus, we can run a few reports, reach agreement among the audit team, and move on. Even the auditors said they loved it! As a result, the time spent reviewing our FAS 123R calculations went from a number of days to a couple of hours. In fact, we believe that the cost of the solution paid for itself in just the audit time we saved."
Mark Patterson
Chief Financial Officer
Express-1 Expedited Solutions, Inc.
"Relying on a large international law firm to track our stock options had
been time consuming and expensive since we constantly found ourselves reconciling the numbers provided by the law firm with those we had
in-house. Then, with the new FAS 123R regulations, it was pretty compelling that we needed an automated system that would allow us to maintain accurate control of our options internally.

"Two Step Software's Equity Focus fit the bill because it was available as a hosted solution, it was affordably priced, and it had all the functionality we needed. By managing our stock options in-house, we not only realized a major cost savings by reducing the involvement of our law firm, we also saved a significant amount of time and headaches by having immediate access to all the related documentation in one easy to find location. Now, within a day of a Board meeting, we have all the information updated and with greater comfort that it’s all correct."
Rob Lubash
Vice President and Controller
OutStart, Inc.
"The new levels of complexity related to stock option expensing and pressure from our outside auditors to quickly automate our systems played a key role in our decision to implement an on-demand solution from Two Step Software. Now, we are able to better prepare for the next audit cycle and collaborate more easily with our business partners without having to be concerned with ongoing software maintenance, system upgrades, or scalability."

"We've been a customer of Two Step Software for
seven years and whether they're
answering a user question or working on a more technical challenge like moving
servers or upgrading the system, Two Step's support staff always provides
personal service and goes the extra mile. When it's time to renew our annual support, it's the one of the few invoices I'm happy to pay."

"The way Corporate Focus tracks family entities makes it easy to access
all subsidiary information—even for our 1300 entities. We get
calls from our clients all the time requesting information. We can
access and send the information immediately instead of trying to
find the minute books, pulling them off the shelves and going
through them. We cut our time in half, maybe even 75%. It has
saved us hours and hours of work."

"Corporate Focus is the only product on the market that provides as high a level of features and functionality built to meet the rigors of corporate law. I would recommend it to others."

"Corporate Focus helps to organize our corporate records department, allowing us to be more productive. It has really changed the way we do things. We have found that scanning the documents into CF has become a valuable resource. We've also expanded its use to the attorneys in our Benefits Department. They store the originals and the amendments to retirement plans and ESOP's so that any attorney in the group can access the information at any time and perform work for the client. We really love the system."

"Before Corporate Focus, I manually calculated and used Excel spreadsheets to produce fully diluted cap tables. It would take an
hour or longer to get the information because I would have to keep
recreating it for different possibilities. Now I can calculate the
tables in minutes instead of hours. It saves lots of time,
especially since we’re always testing different scenarios. I don’t
have to re-key all the items because all the vital information is
already in the system."
Rose Mary Abrams, Paralegal

"Clients trust me to keep their records straight, including producing
accurate stock, option and cap table information. Corporate Focus
enables me to accomplish those tasks easily and serve our clients
better. Corporate Focus has helped me gain trust with our clients
and within my own working group."

"Corporate Focus has a way of standardizing among all our offices the information we’re tracking on our clients. And that’s
a good thing. We can access any client info from anywhere and
track their officers and directors and the states in which they
are qualified. That kind of information is something we need to
know quickly and can get quickly out of Corporate Focus. My
billable rate is high so I like to do things as efficiently as I
can for my clients, especially since I am responsible for about 50
of the 6,000 clients in our database."

"I find the 'personal' training provided in your web seminar
very valuable. The ability to discuss questions immediately rather
than by flipping through pages or (worse) scrolling through pages
makes the information stick in the mind better and maintains the
continuity of the learning. Two Step does an excellent job."
C. J. Charles
Paralegal
Bose McKinney & Evans LLP
"Either clients will call me, or attorneys asking on behalf of clients, and they will need the percentages of holdings in series
of stock, a report generated, or they need me to email option
reports for reconciliations. With Corporate Focus, I can supply
that information easily and quickly."

"Two Step gave us a solid, well-designed product, a fast and easy way to get our data loaded,
and a customer support team that made sure we were up and running quickly. All software products and software companies should try to be like
Two Step Software and their product Corporate Focus."
Ron Calderone

"I like the software, but I like the people who are there to answer
my questions even more. They're knowledgeable, friendly,
and genuinely determined to be of service. Corporate Focus
let me finally dispense with my Excel spreadsheets!"
