Piecemeal Software Applications

Use of non-integrated piecemeal software solutions drastically decreases productivity. For example: A firm uses a standalone calendar system, a second time and billing applications, a third accounting package, and a spread sheet program for management reporting. Look at the redundancy of effort!
  • Calendar Entries must be re-keyed into the time and billing system.
  • Client Cost Checks must be prepared in the stand alone accounting program then re-keyed into the time and billing system for inclusion of client statements.
  • Client Receipts must initially be entered into the accounting package to record revenue, then re-entered into the time and billing program to maintain an accurate accounts receivable balance.
  • Manual Spreadsheets are usually required to for productivity reporting allowing production to be matched with revenue.
