Stay On Track & On Budget with Acumatica Project Accounting

Project Accounting software helps companies track relevant data for projects. The software can help pinpoint what makes a project profitable, how workflow can be improved and how you can minimize costs. This week, we’ve compiled a list of must-read articles highlighting how to select the right software and how Acumatica Project Accounting centrally manages budgeting, billing and profitability for all of your business’ projects.

 

Choosing the Right Project Management Software

Leveraging project management solutions in the right situation can streamline the entire project-process and enable your team to deliver higher quality work in less time. While most project management applications offer similar features, no two are identical. Examining each one closely during your selection process is essential in ensuring successful implementation. Here are some things to do and consider when selecting the perfect project management solution for your business.

  1. Demo several options before moving forward. Test multiple applications before committing to one, to ensure you get a feel for what you like and dislike in a program.
  2. Identify the specific problems you currently have managing projects. By recognizing where your inefficiencies and issues lie, you can more easily focus on software that bolsters your strengths and supports your weaknesses.
  3. Choose a system that is easy to implement and easy to use. If a system is challenging to roll out, it might cause more headache than relief. Implementation and ease of use should be significant factors in your final decision.
