A decent software installation remains top priority

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)—also known as cloud-based software—has been mainstream for a while. All major software companies have moved to this methodology in the last couple of years. It basically means that the distribution of software is done on a subscription model which includes all upgrades on it and is mostly hosted in the cloud, instead of once-off buying software bundles. 

SmartPractice is one of many development companies that has preached about the advantages for years, and for good reason. Cloud-based applications largely lack painful installations or strict contracts and are paid for over time instead of all at once.

As an accountant, we are completely familiar with the accounting industry and in today’s practices, the amount of data is immense. Any software installation can look like a daunting task. At the end of the day, data setup is key, it always has been for the successful implementation of any software. 

But surprisingly we often encounter practices that do not spend sufficient time on the initial setup or the maintenance of the system which leads to limited use of systems. 

In most cases, we find that the reason for a practice signing up for a specific software is because the

business is already under immense pressure with systems and workload and then find themselves in
a catch-22. They still need sufficient time to do a proper installation, but just don’t have it.
