Government Contractor Breakfast - Evaluating GovCon Accounting Packages

When:  Jul 10, 2018 from 07:00 AM to 09:30 AM (ET)
Associated with  Nation's Capital Chapter

Glenn Anstead of Raffa and Mark Hoffman will present: “Evaluating GovCon Accounting Packages; An agnostic framework for evaluating accounting software for government contractors.” The presentation will be an interactive session on the major considerations for evaluating accounting software packages and how you can compare packages to each other and to your requirements. Our discussions will be not be focused on any specific software systems. This is not a sales demo! Instead, as Sy Syms used to say, “an educated consumer is our best customer!”

Topics to be covered include:

  • Identifying weaknesses, work-arounds, and deficiencies before software selection, NOT during implementation.
  • Typical user requirements for accounting systems
  • Requirement unique to GovCon users
  • Considering the underlying software platform/technology
  • Evaluating interoperability with other systems
  • User interface drives system acceptance and data error rates
  • Output and Reporting - the critical function that is often overlooked
