Process Assessment/System Selection Webinar: Watch Now

In some cases, business processes may be improved through optimization of existing technology and enhanced user training. In other cases, organizations may have simply outgrown their processes and/or systems. In this webinar, recorded on January 24th, leaders in AAFCPAs’ Business Process & IT Consulting practice provide insight for CFOs contemplating a change in their operations with new processes or technology.

Common signs indicating you need a new ERP or Accounting system:

  • You could not transition seamlessly to a remote-work environment.
  • Your processes are highly manual, and Excel is the backbone.
  • Your team struggles to complete reports.
  • You have many disparate information sources, and no or minimal integration.
  • Your existing system is not capable of supporting process design changes.
  • You need features beyond what your current system is providing.
  • The system you are using is no longer supported by the vendor.
  • You cannot get the data you need when you need it in order to make timely actionable decisions.

Webinar Objectives

  1. Understand how to assess your processes and systems to determine if a new system is required.
  2. Understand how to approach a system selection to ensure you identify the right system that meets all your requirements, including budget.
  3. Learn about differentiators and trends in some of the most sought-after systems (for users with various budgets).
  4. Hear client examples, including specific details on their investment in time, energy and financial resources.

This webinar is ideal for those trying to answer the questions: What do I need most? How can I make sure I utilize our technology to its fullest potential?
