You have had your accounting system so long that you can’t remember what you did before. It works every day and it is easy because everybody knows all the shortcuts and work-a-rounds. So why change? One word: Survival. New accounting systems are written to take advantage of today’s way of doing business: electronic, efficient and in real time.
I have a friend that still has an old 10-year-old non-smart phone. What’s a text message? Is that like a Fax? Need the weather? Grab the newspaper. Directions? Real men don’t need directions. Voice mail? How do I listen to that message?
Is that how your company is working? Need to email invoices to clients? Lets print them out and scan them into email. Take orders anytime? Isn’t that what the Fax machine is for? Connect with vendors? Isn’t that what the Fax machine is for? Import vendor catalogs and price lists? Isn’t that what the keyboard is for? Track critical customer information like pricing contracts? Isn’t that why you got Excel? Access information after hours? Isn’t that why you keep the heat on in the office till midnight?
Everything works, but if you took a hard look at all the work-a-rounds your staff does every day, you would find lots of wasted time. Improving your accounting system cannot only lead to more efficiency, but also better moral and better decision making when people have time to evaluate information instead of creating data.
