Greetings!
Is your accounting software providing everything your company needs? Take a step back and think.
- During the day, do you get frustrated trying to extract information?
- Are employees using the accounting system or using Excel for tracking and reporting?
- Do you get on time financial reports that provide everything you need to know to make informed business decisions?
- Do you have multiple software solutions that are not integrated?
- Or maybe you want to learn more about your software, but your IT manager can't seem to locate the developer or VAR who originally sold it to you.
A good accounting software solution can deliver dramatic benefits to businesses - increased productivity, reduced operating expenses and happy employees. An ERP solution, can also empower companies to be more responsive to shifts in the economy and quickly change strategies to address needs as they emerge.

How Great Companies Turn Crisis into Opportunity
|
|
Fortune senior writer Jennifer Reingold, had a great interview with Jim Collins (author of Built to Last, Good to Great and How the Mighty Fall) on how companies can turn crisis into opportunity. When turbulence approaches and it is out of your control, what gets companies through this and enables them to achieve greatness in the long run?
When Collins was asked what gets companies through these tough times, he stated "you have to have moorings." Strong companies had "an incredible fabric of values, of underlying ideals or principals that explained why it was important they existed."
Collins also suggested that in times of crisis it's the "caliber of their people that would get them through it. Almost across the board, people are worried. As a rock climber, the one thing you learn is that those who panic, die on the mountain. You don't just sit on the mountain. You either go up or go down." Businesses have to ask the question, "What can we do not just to survive but to turn this into a defining point in history?" To read the full article click here. |
