Implementation is much more than
just installing some Accounting
software. Your implementation plan should consider the following.
Package installation - this will
usually be in the form of a CD-Rom and may require you to register the package
with the supplier so that it is fully licensed and works correctly.
Initial company setup - you will
need to enter details of your business including the year-end date and other
details. Your Myob accounting Software
package may have several different Charts of Myob Accounts – i.e. the headings
that you use in your accounts - so you can choose to suit your type of
business. However, you may need to tailor this to your requirements. Your
accountant should be able to advise you on this work, or undertake it for you.
Parallel running - you may find
it useful to run Accounting Software your old accounts and the new package
alongside each other for a while to ensure that you are getting correct
results. However, it is difficult to maintain parallel running for very long
because of the duplication of effort.
Training - the staff who work
with the accounting package on a day-to-day basis should ideally have some
formal training in the use of the package. You should time this training so
that it is done shortly before the installation of the software.
Support - it is a good idea to
purchase a support agreement from your supplier for your new accounting
package, at least for the first year of operation so that you have a readily
available contact to help sort out queries and problems. Many small businesses
find that a support agreement is a good investment even after this initial
period.
