if only software lasted as long as a good hammer, wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t that be nice? you buy hammer version 2.0 not long after you buy your first house, use it for 50 years, then hand it down to the next generation. <\/p>\n

but it isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t often you hear a cpa say, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153son, i used this software application before you were born, back when we didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even have fax machines, and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s still got a lot of good use in it. i hope i can trust you to take care of it, appreciate it and hand it down to your children.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s good that software obsolesces, of course. a little expensive, but good. yesteryear\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s software seems dumber than your father\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hammer, and the version that just came out practically guarantees to let you do a week\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s worth of work before lunch on monday.no surprise, then, that 9 in 10 of the respondents to a new bay street group survey say they are less than euphoric about their software, and about a third may go shopping for new software in the next 18 months. <\/p>\n

a few respondents are kind enough to tell us why, and a few others are suggesting software issues that we hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t thought to ask about \u00e2\u20ac\u201d issues that will inevitably relate to decisions to upgrade or jump the fence into a whole new solution. <\/p>\n

a mid-level staffer at a fairly large company, self-described as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153mostly happy,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is \u00e2\u20ac\u0153looking for performance management and budgeting tools.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153somewhat happy\u00e2\u20ac\u009d senior staffer at a small company says it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s worth switching software to get \u00e2\u20ac\u0153multi-company reporting and processes.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

a certain \u00e2\u20ac\u0153not-very-happy\u00e2\u20ac\u009d cfo is looking for software that has a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153more efficient method for recording and accounting for inventorial costs\u00e2\u20ac\u009d such as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153adding the cost of repairs to cars for resale.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d like several respondents, the decision to seek new solutions is based on a current package that no longer meets the needs of a growing company.<\/p>\n

an anonymous partner at a small cpa firm is looking for \u00e2\u20ac\u0153accounting and tax software that is integrated,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or, in other words, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153something that easily transfers to tax software.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153easy\u00e2\u20ac\u009d comes up a lot in this survey. <\/p>\n

so does \u00e2\u20ac\u0153support.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153cost of support\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is what vivek ramsaroop, of cpa financial services in pembroke pines, fla., says we should be asking about. also, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153accuracy of support billing\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153timeliness of response.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

ironic, isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t it? you cough up five or six digits for a greased-lighting application, then spend so much time on your vendor\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u0153customer service\u00e2\u20ac\u009d hold line that you get to hear all of vivaldi\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s four seasons, going on five. <\/p>\n

dan kuchan, cpa, in fountain hills, ariz., describes himself as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153completely happy.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d but still, he needs more. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153online time billing is a software we will be looking at,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he says. <\/p>\n

an anonymous and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153somewhat happy\u00e2\u20ac\u009d cpa partner would be happier with software that was \u00e2\u20ac\u0153easier to use and less cumbersome,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d but the reason for an upcoming software shopping trip is something else: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153i don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like the yearly cost of my current program or the way it is difficult to customize it for each of my clients.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n

me, i\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m still quite satisfied with hammer version 1.0, a rounded stone lashed to a stick. many consider it obsolete, but i find it still works on most computers. <\/p>\n
