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.
