Selecting, Implementing & Managing Effective Enterprise-Wide Systems

The A-E industry is about to move to the 4th generation of accounting systems:

Mainframe and Mini-Computer (Vax, Prime, etc.) based applications (in the 1970s)
PC DOS-based applications (in the 1980s)
Windows-based applications (in the 1990s)
Browser-based applications (for the 21st Century)

These new 4th generation “browser-based” applications are being introduced by several of the major software vendors that specialize in the A-E market segment. These new software packages truly integrate many of the corporate functions including HR, accounting, marketing/business development, project estimating, budgeting, monitoring and invoicing, and even in-house staff resource scheduling.

In addition to integrating all of these functions under a single database, the new browser-based software allows for fast and easy access to this data from remote locations such as other design offices and project trailers at construction sites.

This seminar offers valuable tips on how best to select, implement and manage these new enterprise-wide packages. SMC has no business relationship with any of the A-E oriented accounting software vendors, so the seminar is totally objective.

The seminar reflects the years of experience that SMC accounting consultants have in implementing new project and financial accounting systems for dozens of A-E design firms, using our proven 12-step process.

All of the new SMC “Technology for Better Business” seminars are presented in a non-technical format, expressed in everyday business terms that everyone can easily understand. This seminar is a must for all A-E design firm owners, CFOs and seniors managers who use technology to operate their firms and to manage their engineering design projects.
