We’ve all been there, the breaking point of frustration with computer hardware. What if every time you used the mouse for your computer you discovered it didn’t track well, your cursor lagged onscreen, sometimes the buttons didn’t click, or the cord was too short? Suddenly your focus isn’t what’s on the screen, but how hard it is to get the needed information. There’s not many of us who would put up with a defective mouse for very long yet we live with ERP systems which hinder our business. The truth is resistance to change limits business potential.

Recently, we conducted a survey of hundreds of companies who spoke of great pains with their current systems. Some had clearly outgrown the capabilities of Simply Accounting or QuickBooks (and many others) yet continued to use them, citing familiarity or fear of change. Many companies admitted to spending up to 15 hours every week exporting and manually compiling numbers into reports from which they make critical business decisions. What is more remarkable is they didn’t fully understand the loss of profitability from this misspent time. Or that most spreadsheets, used for compiling the information, contain errors.

Because many of us are resistant to change, we just don’t see how spending one day a week compiling figures shouldn’t be part of our job description – analyzing and reacting to that data is what you could and should be spending time on. This time saving directly translates into tens of thousands of dollars annually saved on salary costs. Imagine the result of your staff spending their time on analyzing automated reports, making more sales calls, and researching new technologies and markets for your business. Although we are creatures of habit, the time has come to improve your business processes and increase your potential.

One fear that may already be holding you back is that upgrading will be a costly, time-consuming process that won’t yield measurable benefits.
