Selection and implementation of software for small and medium size companies:

Since there is no single solution for all businesses we have chosen not to affiliate ourselves to any single vendor. We have experience in a broad range of solutions and we are able to offer the most applicable solution for the particular needs of our clients. As a result we have no interest in "selling" you on a specific vendor that may not meet your needs. We interested in finding the best fit for your business and maintaining a long term relationship.

Each product or solution has strengths and weaknesses and many factors should be considered when you are selecting software for your company.

Factors to consider include:

• Initial/one time license fees
• Annual subscription/license fees
• Implementation costs
• Ongoing support fees (and what type of support is included)
• Total costs over both the short and long term (software, hardware, support, license fees)
• Size of existing user base
• Availability of training
• Availability of consultants/implementation partners
• Quality/reputation of the software vendor
• Breadth of functionality
• Depth of functionality
• Availability of 3rd party add-ons. 

Some of the more popular accounting systems that we have experience with include:

• NetSuite
• QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions
• QuickBooks (Pro, Premier)
• QuickBooks Online Edition
• Xero

While each of these products has their respective strengths and weaknesses, we have found that in the majority of situations at least one of these products is a good fit for the needs of most small - mid size businesses.
