Integrating those systems is an important part of getting more from the technology. - **There isn’t one approach to digital transformation.** What makes sense depends on the company, its current systems, and what needs to improve. LBMC Technology Solutions helps clients sort through those questions and choose an ERP system that fits. Companies change, and the technology they started with doesn’t always keep up. Processes get more complicated, reporting needs change, and systems that once worked well can start requiring more manual effort. We see this often with companies that started with QuickBooks. It’s a useful accounting system, but it may not be the right fit forever. If your finance team is relying on spreadsheets, re-entering data, or having trouble getting the reports it needs, take a look at the [limitations of QuickBooks](https://www.lbmc.com/blog/5-quickbooks-limitations/). Those are often early signs that it’s time to look at other options. ## LBMC Technology Solutions: Your Digital Age Trusted Partner Choosing new technology can get complicated quickly. There are plenty of products to choose from, and the software still has to work with the rest of your business. That’s where LBMC Technology Solutions can help. We look at what you’re using now, where you’re running into problems, and what you need the system to do. We also look at the other applications it will need to work with. The [cloud](https://www.lbmc.com/blog/securing-data-flow-it-security-cloud/) has made it easier to use different systems throughout a business. The catch is that those systems don’t always talk to each other. ERP systems such as Sage Intacct and Microsoft Dynamics 365 can help connect that information and cut down on the files, spreadsheets, and re-entry that happen between systems. ## The Power of Sage Intacct Sage Intacct is built for companies that need more from their accounting system. That may mean better reporting, more automation, easier access to financial information, or the ability to work with other systems the company uses. It’s also useful when a company has several subsidiaries, locations, or business units. Instead of pulling information together manually, companies can use Sage Intacct to handle [multi-entity accounting](https://www.lbmc.com/blog/accounting-multi-entities-solutions/) and make consolidations easier to manage. Integration is another big piece of the puzzle. A company might have its accounting, CRM, payroll, expense management, and other applications in the cloud and still have employees moving information between them by hand. [Sage Intacct](https://www.sage.com/en-us/sage-business-cloud/intacct/) can connect with other applications so information can move between systems without someone having to export and re-enter it. This is one of the biggest differences companies notice when they’ve been working around the limits of QuickBooks. If you’re considering that move, [7 Ways Sage Intacct Helps QuickBooks Users](https://www.lbmc.com/blog/7-ways-sage-intacct-helps-quickbooks-users/) covers some of the changes you can expect. Sage Intacct has also continued to expand what finance teams can do with their data. You can read more about that in [The ERP Revolution](https://www.lbmc.com/blog/erp-revolution/). Reporting is a good example. Not every company wants to look at its numbers the same way. With [custom reporting in Sage Intacct](https://www.lbmc.com/blog/sage-intacct-custom-reporting/), finance teams can build reports around the information their management team actually uses. ## The LBMC Technology Solutions Difference We don’t start with the software. We start with what isn’t working. Maybe the month-end close takes too long. Maybe reports require several spreadsheets. Maybe people are entering the same information in two systems. Or maybe the company has grown and the accounting system hasn’t grown with it. Once we understand those issues, we can help determine whether the answer is a new ERP system, better integration between existing systems, or changes to the way the current technology is being used. Our team can also stay involved through implementation. That matters because choosing the right software is only part of the job. It has to be set up in a way that works for the people who will actually use it. ## The Journey to Digital Transformation [Digital transformation](https://www.lbmc.com/blog/finance-leaders-digital-transformation/) can mean a lot of things. For a finance team, it may be as practical as getting rid of a spreadsheet that’s become too complicated, connecting two systems that don’t talk to each other, or replacing accounting software the company has outgrown. That’s why we don’t think there’s one answer for every company. We spend time understanding how the business works today, where the trouble spots are, and what the company expects to need down the road. ### ERP’s Key Function in Digital Transformation ERP can be a big part of that work because financial information touches so many areas of the business. When the right systems are connected, people spend less time moving data around and more time using it. The question isn’t whether you need the newest technology. It’s whether your current technology is making it harder to do the work. If that’s happening, it may be time to look at your options.
