Any change, particularly in small business, can either make or break a company. Good big change can propel a business forward whereas bad big change (or lots of bad small change) and kill a company. Today is one of those days where we undergo BIG change - but I feel confident it's going to be all good.
We're implementing a new accounting system, after sticking with MYOB for some 9 years it's time for us to get serious about things (Note: I'm not saying that MYOB is not serious software, or that it's bad software, we've simply outgrown it and need something different).
After doing some checking around we decided to go with Jim2 from Happen Software (www.happen.biz), a local Aussie product written and supported in Sydney. Ian is the consultant we've flown in (arrives in just over an hour) to help us implement it and train us all - boy is he in for something!
All that we've seen of Jim2 so far has been great - it's going to resolve a lot of frustrations I've had for some years, particularly with regard to things like serial number tracking, reports, and tying purchase orders of products in to invoices of products out.
Stay tuned - I'll keep you posted on how things come together. In a few days I'm sure I'll be telling you to go buy it for your own use too. (I'll also have to let you know about what I've done with our server infrastructure....)
