Updated July 27, 2024 · Originally published January 31, 2010

With all apologies to David Letterman, this month I thought I would take a look at the top signs that your accounting software needs updating.  You know you need new accounting software when:

10)    The piles of paper on your desk are creating a fire hazard.

9)       You feel sick to your stomach each time you launch your current software, unsure of what “surprises” await you.

8)       Your local grocer has a better system then you do.

7)       Writing a sales order with a crayon looks more professional than that produced by your accounting package.

6)      You were discussing Y2K when you purchased your current software.

5)       Your business has experienced significant growth.

4)       Your reports are done in Microsoft Excel (remember, ERP can also mean “Excel Replacement Program”).

3)       Your IT costs are spiraling

2)      Your information is in more than one place and on multiple databases

1)      Staff productivity is declining while user complaints are on the rise

If any of these resemble your current situation, there is a remedy. There is a way to rid your business world of haphazard post-it notes, piles of purchase orders and the very real fear that no one knows how to fix that “quirk” in your current software.
