Selection Advice

Advice for Selecting an Accounting, ERP, Manufacturing Solution

Selecting an accounting or ERP system is a daunting task for many reasons. Firstly, most of us only go through the process once, which doesn't allow us to get good at it. Secondly, most vendors hide their specific features and functionality making it difficult to evaluate alternatives. Thirdly, you never really know if a system will meet your needs until you actually purchase and implement the system, and train your staff to use the system - by then, your decision has been made. Hiring an independent consult may seem like a good idea, but 98% of the independent consultants I've seen over the past 25 years recommend the same product exclusively over and over again - so, once you've picked the consultant, you've actually picked the product without knowing it. Here are Accounting Software news we feel your pain and we do our best to help you by providing you with the following list of articles which, while lengthy, can be helpful in better understanding the evaluation, selection and implementation processes.
