These are great points. Typically, accounting software decision-makers view accounting solutions as just another chunk of change going out the door. This information demonstrates dramatically how Microsoft Dynamics GP accounting software can help bring money back in the door—particularly during tough economic times. To optimize results, however, also consider the human factor. Make sure your front line accounting crew understands completely what you’re working toward, and get them to buy in completely to the process. Make them understand that their efforts can help make a substantial contribution to the bottom line. And wherever feasible, incentivize these people to work at peak performance. The more involved and rewarded people feel, the more they will give in return. Paul Farrell, CEO, Wizard Productivity Systems LP; pfarrell@wizardus.com
