Montreal, Quebec - 15 December 2004—MetaQuest Software Inc. announced today the immediate availability of Census Small Business, a version of the Census issue-tracking system that is specifically designed for the smaller company that requires a complete, yet affordable, bug tracking system.

"Census Small Business is an extremely attractive alternative for smaller companies on a budget," says Jeff Lalonde, Vice President of Sales at MetaQuest Software, "because our Small Business edition includes far more features than you get in any other comparably-priced product,"

MetaQuest has included everything a small business needs in Census Small Business:

• A reusable template for bug-tracking projects
• Customizable fields
• Attachments
• Bug change histories
• User and group security
• Queries and sorts
• Named or concurrent licensing
• Microsoft Access backend database (included)
• Support for Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE)

In addition, Census Small Business includes many of the same features you'd expect to find only in more expensive products. For example, Census Small Business includes role-based workflow, automatic e-mail notifications, integration with Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, and Web-based reporting.
