Accounting Today reviewed TRAVERSE v11 in the magazine's annual Mid-Range Accounting review.

TRAVERSE received a very favorable review:

Open Systems' TRAVERSE accounting software is a business management backbone for many small, growing and mid-market companies. Though built on Microsoft technology, Open Systems provides source code at no additional cost. Recent enhancements to the system have included TRAVERSE Banking, for secure electronic banking.

TRAVERSE Version 11, the newest generation, is built on .Net and SQL Server technologies and has four layers of adaptability.

The first is a personalization layer that allows each user to customize screen preferences, adjust menu organization, and create and save individualized views of data for inquiry and reporting.

The TRAVERSE Design Studio gives users the ability to add custom fields, adjust screens for various users and roles, and build import and export definitions to provide integration to other business management software applications or automation equipment that may be in use. In the integration layer, users can integrate their Web store, trading partner, or other proprietary or third-party data to TRAVERSE using the TRAVERSE Integration Engine, a set of data mapping and scheduling tools. And there's customization to meet the specific business needs of a company.

TRAVERSE offers a powerful, scalable and customizable system appropriate to its position as a mid-range accounting package with a well-established user base, a host of advanced features and economical pricing. It also benefits from its status as the only open-source software among the major mid-range accounting packages. (p. 27)
