Implementation Planning
• This is the vital first step that can make or break your project. The expertise of
knowing how all the pieces need to flow, the order of the steps, what needs to be
addressed, and when, will impact how successful your new system is for your
business.
• Implementation planning is where decisions on the Chart of Accounts, customer
numbers, vendors numbers, inventory items, integration, who gets trained, and how
to go live in a timely and safe manner all occur.
• Discussion and determination of what information from your old system is needed in
the new system. There can be a broad difference in the cost based on what you want.
We are careful not to try to do more than you need or more than you find cost-
effective.

…changing the world one dent at a time Software Installation
• We make sure your hardware and network system are adequately configured to
support the new accounting software. Since several of today’s programs also offer
CRM additional hardware needs may be required.
• Load the software from a CD or a download onto the proper computer either a
standalone or server
• Install or adjust the operating system and ancillary software such as Microsoft
Windows Server, SQL Server, Small Business Server, IIS, etc.
• Establish a backup of the system data to protect against hardware failure. This needs
to be followed up by testing and checking to confirm that the right files are being
backed and the process is correct. Backing up SQL products is handled differently.
• Setup of Terminal Services, Citrix, or web services, especially where companies have
remote employees or multiple locations.
• If loaded onto a server and accessed from PCs then establish proper access rights to
the server to allow your employees to use the system. Incorporation of network
security into the accounting software installation.
• If multiple users:
o Establish passwords for each user
o Establish proper access for each user to their specific areas such as limiting
Payroll access to specific employees
o Sarbanes-Oxley-type security options (role-based security) are available for
many systems. The setup needs to be specific and carefully set up.
• Configure system documents to suit your needs such as:
o Customer invoices
o Customer statements
o Payroll checks
o Vendor checks
o Purchase Orders
o Sales Quotes, etc.
• Create custom reports to provide information in the format you need. These reports
incorporate both operational areas as well as financial areas.
• Establish any needed “tie-in” with other software such as importing data from an E-
commerce application or from a time clock. Integration with other systems will vary
based on your system. All require attention for security, backup, and the ability to
recover from a failed import.

Accounting System Configuration


• Establish your company chart of accounts for assets, liabilities, equity, sales, and
expenses
• Establish company divisions, departments, and cost centers as needed
• Load the following actual data:
o All customer information into Accounts Receivable and establish new customer
default AR information
o All vendor information into Accounts Payable and establish new vendor default
AP information
o All Inventory items into Inventory Control and establish new part default IC
information
o All employee information into Payroll and establish new employee information
– payroll must be handled very carefully as the data in the system must feed to
quarterly payroll reports correctly and year-to-date numbers are vital to a
clean cutover.
• Load specific figures to support the Trial Balance amounts for these accounts:
o Sometimes history transactions are needed–see the implementation plan
o The integrity of the old data is determined.
o Run before and after reports to confirm that the data imported flowed through
correctly. We recommend bringing in non-master record information through
data entry screens to have it posted where possible. This checks the data
integrity and lets you keep drill-downs inherent in most of today’s systems.
o Accounts Receivable all open unpaid invoices
o Accounts Payable all open unpaid invoices
o Inventory Control of all current inventory stats including quantity on hand,
quantity on order by customers, quantity on order from vendors, current cost
per item in stock, etc.
o Payroll all individual payroll amounts per employee for current and former
employees for the current year and quarter including pay, individual Federal,
state, local and unemployment taxes paid and withheld
o Load other specific information to support the actual business condition at the
time of conversion
o Purchase Order all open purchase order detail

o Sales Orders all open sales orders detail


o Job Cost all open jobs detail information and costs
o Bill of Materials for all BOM “recipes”

System Training
• Software providers include training on the software use tailored to specific
individuals based on their area of responsibilities for example train payroll
department employees are trained on employee adds, changes, and terminations;
recording employee payroll data, preparing various tax reports, procedures to close a
month and year and processing various year-end tax reports.
• Training needs to be timed correctly so it is long enough ahead of going live to learn,
but so far ahead that employees forget what they learned.
• Although most companies employ smart people, they are not experts on the systems
they are implementing.
• Training of new employees that did not sit in on the initial training is vital to avoid
“attrition of knowledge”.
• Update training when new versions come out. It is a waste to install a new version
and not know the new features.

Other Items
• Providers allow time for GO live support, both for the regular system and for payroll
• Conference room pilots – providers often find the need to use conference room
pilots to test out more complex solutions and resolve processes and needs before
rolling out training to clients.
• Initial bank reconciliation – most users need assistance for their first bank
reconciliation to tick and tie the numbers to their old reconciliation.
• Workflow processing–providers often can help a business see if their processes are
the most efficient possible.
