How to Prepare for 1099’s at Yearend

Join us Wednesday, January 8th, 2025 at 11:30 AM CST.

Every year we get questions about 1099’s: Who should receive them? How do I get a list? How do I know if I have the Federal Tax ID numbers? What forms to I need? And More!! There is a deadline to have these in the mail to your vendors, and a deadline to file the 1096 (summary page) with copies, so it’s important to plan ahead.

We’re not your CPA and we recommend you check with them. However, we do this each year and have quite a few things we can share so you can be ready. In this webinar, we will cover:

– The general guidelines regarding who should receive a 1099

– How the W-9 form plays into this

– The Sage 100 Contractor 1099 Types and where these are flagged

– How to pull a report to see the Vendor payments, who may need a 1099, and what information might be missing

– The general deadlines to send the 1099’s to the vendors, and to file the 1096 and Federal/State copies

– The latest info we have regarding what can be printed to plain paper, perforated paper, and what needs the ‘red’ forms

AI (Artificial Intelligence) and Your Business – Ready or Not

Join us Thursday September 12^th at 11:00 am Central time.

Ready or not, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is here. AI isn’t new, but with the release of Copilot in February 2024, it is now accessible to everyone in a very practical way. For years, AI has been part of our programmers’ lives, saving tons of time. For the rest of us, Machine Learning (ML) and AI are part of many of the tools we’ve learned to rely on in our businesses and personal life.

Maybe you plan to ignore it – you won’t be able to. Maybe you want to re-tool everything and use it everywhere – not realistic and not appropriate. Let’s have a practical discussion about AI and our businesses. Here are a few highlights of what we’ll cover:

• Let’s discuss how AI works (briefly!)
• What AI is good for, and what it’s NOT good for
• We’ll review a variety of areas you can use AI in right now and pick up some big wins, with ease!
• What do we see as the next iteration of AI

Join us for a webinar on Tuesday, August 6th, 2024 at 11:00 AM CST.

If you’re in Construction, you’ve probably heard people talking about BIM as much as AI, so let’s start with our first question: What does BIM stand for? Building Information Modeling. I’ll bet you have a few more questions and we’d like to get you some answers!

We’ve joined with Santex, our long-time partner, to share an introduction to BIM, how it’s being used in the Construction industry, where it’s being used, and how we see this growing in the coming months and years. This webinar, followed by Q&A, will be Tuesday, August 6th at 11:00 am Central time.

Here’s what we’ll cover:
– An introduction to BIM: Understand the core concepts and benefits
– Benefits and Advantages: Learn how BIM is being used in the collaboration phase, to reduce risk, and to optimize project management
– BIM Tools and Technologies: We’ll share some popular BIM software and some emerging transformations in the industry, as well
– Real-World Case Studies: Santex is ready to share some success stories along with some lessons learned during their BIM Implementations worldwide
– Future Trends: We’ll share some of the trends Santex is seeing, including digital twins and sustainability

Who should attend? Owners, Engineers, Contractors, Project Managers, Architects, and anyone involved with the Construction industry! Whether you’re new to BIM or looking to hear more about how it’s being used, we have something to share with you!
