If you’re the type of person who thrives on efficiency and organization, then you’re not exactly a fan of clutter. More than just too much stuff laying around, clutter is a distraction, an unnecessary obstacle that makes you inefficient in whatever you’re trying to do. When it comes to running a business, your system of operations is the same way: it thrives on efficiency and is slowed down and suffocated by all that clutter, all those applications and all those databases that you have to maintain.
From updates that take too long, to reports that take forever to produce, operational clutter is ripe with lots of inefficiencies and can hurt your business growth potential. So, if you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s time to move your business forward with innovative technology!
-
You still have a server in your storage closet, and where are those backup tapes?
-
You have to log in and out of databases for each company location or each legal entity.
-
You’re trying to retrieve critical information from multiple databases and it feels like you’re running an obstacle course from hell.
-
You’re trying to confirm which orders have been placed, received, delivered or paid and it’s feeling more like a bad case of who’s on first.
-
Data extraction looks more like a mission impossible scenario.
-
You’re still using a clipboard and pen to perform a manual count for inventory.

Too many applications to manage?
If any of the above scenarios sound all too familiar, why wouldn’t you change? Don’t wait for that natural disaster to do a little spring cleaning for your business. There’s no time like the present to eliminate the inefficiencies that put a strain on your business. Instead, look for a cloud-based accounting solution that solves real-world business problems. If you’ve reached the point where you’re adding several different applications to run your business, all with their own separate databases, all on their own island of information to manage. It’s time to upgrade and implement an innovative solution. The good news: you don’t have to wait for the first day of Spring to take that next step.
