Accounting & ERP Consulting by Advanced Service Solutions, Inc.

The choice to move forward with a new accounting system is often based on a single need and moved rapidly towards without proper review and due dilegence!  Why is this important, because most people start out looking at only the cost of the software and its associated licenses.  Unfortunately, that is only the beginning of the potential cost of  an accounting system implementation and project.  Cost only begin with the software and user licenses, then rapidly grow based on additional hardware server requirements, SQL servers and licenses, Web servers and licenses, Remote Access Licenses, Consulting fees for the accounting system, Consulting fees for the network, training fees, cost of employee data entry and parallel operation and this just starts the list of potential cost.  The obvious message here is that extreme care in the selection of the product and careful consideration as to features and other requirements can go a long way towards keeping cost under control.

Advanced Service Solutions has been working with business to select and develop accounting solutions for over 20 years.   Many times, we find that your existing solution will perform some of the task missing and that the people supporting it simply don't know that it is available or that it is even possible.  Other times we do determine that a new solution is needed, but by performing a complete due dilegence on the way the business operates we determine additional requirements for the project and/or even discover efficiencies which will help reduce cost in other areas to help with the outlay for the new system.

The first goal that most business who are considering an accounting changeover should think about is how to have enough support and guidance during the project.   Many make the mistake of attempting to perform the task supported only by in-house personnel.  The magnitude of the task required to accomplish this goal often result in failed implementations and leave other regular jobs significantly behind.  This also eliminates the knowldge of third party experts being conveyed into the selection, planning, implementation and training portions of the project.  Having real world experience and knowing the full capabilities of the products, along with having implemented them at other locations and having seen how other companies have utilized them effectively adds tremendous value to any project.  Your outside CPA/Auditors typically know your numbers, but do not have this expertise.  The support of a qualified technology consultant, your outside CPA/Auditors and additional in-house personnel to help with this project will help maintain schedules, relieve stress on personnel... and may well be the difference between a successful implementation versus a failed project.  Call today for more information and a free initial consultation.
