Moving to new accounts or other information system

Comments from all who haveexperience planning for or implementing information systems is appreciated

Didn't find your answer?

Thank you "scalloway" for suggesting I open a new thread.

For those of you that didn't see my previous post, I copy it here:

Hello,
I am new to AccountingWeb and so far I really like the content.
[...]for a research report I would be grateful to hear from those of you (preferably those working in or with SMEs) who have experienced moving to a new software, accounting or otherwise.
1. General comments: was your experience different to expected? If yes, better or worse, and why?
2. In hindsight, what would you have done differently/better?
3. What were your contingency plans, and were they sufficient?
4. Was your planning based on any models, business or otherwise? What were they?

Many thanks in advance,
CB

Mr/s Bod - perhaps you could clarify the nature your "research report". On whose behalf are you conducting this research? What's your role- are you an academic, a consultant implementing systems; a sales representative?

It is an interesting question, but a very broad issue. I am, however, interested in the answer to Paul's question before I spend any time responding.

Thank you so much for asking - especially because feedback is so important.
The research is conducted on my own behalf; I am writing an academic report.

While I completely agree that the issue is broad, today it will typically, but not necessarily, be relevant to those who have moved to the cloud.

Please ask as may questions as it takes to reply to the above!

With much appreciation!
