Top Ten Criteria For Selecting Accounting Software

As part of a study done by Deloitte & Touche, businesses looking for an accounting system were asked to name the top 10 criteria they used for their selection. Those who were buying their first accounting system were tallied separately from businesses buying their second. Responses were ranked in order of importance.

The results are summarized below by order of importance:

First Time Buyers	Second Time Buyers
Price of Software Ease of Implementation Ease of Use Ability to fit to business Functionality Ability to work with existing hardware Growth potential Level of support provided by reseller Quality of documentation Developer's track record of performance	Level of support provided by reseller Developer's track record of performance Ability to fit to business Growth potential Price of Software Quality of documentation Functionality Ease of Use Ease of Implementation Ability to work with existing hardware

One would think second time buyers would be "smarter", if for no other reason than they have the experience first time buyers lack. It stands to reason their rankings would be a better guide to what really matters when researching accounting system options. Therefore, the key points that surface are:

A quality consultant is a critical factor - After all, anyone can sell the product, but can just anyone support your needs?

The developer's track record is much more apparent to firms in their second implementation. On the surface, many accounting packages look alike, but the years of development invested into a product is critical to the long-term success and growth of a product.

Price, though important, is not the best measure of a system's value. Are you willing to place your company's future in the hands of the lowest bidder - just because they are the lowest bidder?
