We’ve seen it elsewhere; complacency and manual processes have led to dissatisfaction, both internally and externally. Clients continue to push for advances such as improved bar coding and deeper customer service experiences. Management wants real-time data and better financial control.
As suggested in “,” posted by Samuel Edwards on Entrepreneur.com, advances in technology have modernized operations in many different industries. While advances are innovating and strengthening some businesses units, accounting departments are feeling the pressure of disruption.
Several drivers of disruption, according to Edwards, include stagnation and the lack of automation with technology, which feeds the frustration experienced by employees and clients. Manual processes take time, distract employees from important tasks, and create delays in fulfilling customer needs. While some businesses put off legacy system upgrades, others are taking advantage of modern technology. This could be what separates the businesses between those that thrive in this digital era, and those that struggle.
