Anyone here ever heard of Acorn Systems? I have, but never really understood their function. If you read the synposis they have on their site about what they do, you will see something like this:

Acorn Systems enables meaningful and sustained profit improvement by providing continuous enterprise-wide visibility into business performance. How? Acorn combines a unique and proven consulting methodology with a highly scalable, sustainable software platform to provide a superior profit improvement solution.

Know what they do yet? Me neither. So I did some research to see if I could find a plain english "Acorn Systems for Dummies" type of explanation of the company and what it does.

Apparently the company distributes costing software that will help you see the distribution of money within an organization, be it a mid sized company or a corporate conglomerate. You can see charts of net profit by store, category, and vendor. They also help you to maximize your profits by showing you discrepancies in your organization. It's pretty nifty software and it covers a variety of other aspects of business management.
