Getting the most out of your tech
Summary
Consultant and technology thought leader Seth Fineberg offers a guide to finding, choosing, implementing and assessing the software your firm needs. In a world where you can download and launch an app on your phone and a couple of clicks, it can be easy to forget that the software tools that are built for accountants and for other business users are just a smidge more complicated and they call for more advanced preparation, much more careful implementation and ongoing monitoring and critical assessment of how theyre performing. Hey, naturally speaking, if theres not a problem, then Im not necessarily going to hear anything, but I still advocate for keeping in touch, so its not like, oh, we need to get on the bat phone or we need to sound the alarm here because youre just going to know. I feel like Im ready to start looking into potentially an AI solution for this or maybe a software platform itself, something that mightve been built that I didnt know was even out there. Its just a question of figuring out of looking critically at how youre doing things and keeping up with whats going on in the technology world to know that, oh, right, wait a minute this way, I do this now and it takes me three hours.
