My first trip to Chicago and to North America's largest convention center (McCormick Place) and to FABTECH, or any industrial trade show for that matter, did not disappoint. I helped manage my company's expo booth.

The Holy Grail of Accounting Systems: Pristine General Ledger

I've worked with several accountants over the years and one thing I've noticed about them is that they generally like things neat and orderly. Unfortunately the real world is often messy and chaotic. Transactions get entered for the wrong accounts, quantities or dates, which leads to reversal transactions, then yet another set of corrected transactions. Even with a flawless transaction record a company of even a moderate size can end up with thousands of general ledger (G/L) entries that make finding the source transaction of any questionable trial balance number like looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack.

Target Marketing in the Manufacturing Industry

Business development in the manufacturing industry is changing rapidly. It's harder for small to mid-sized manufacturers to compete with larger ones on cost, recognition, and range of capabilities. The constant push to vendor consolidation heightens market pressure. It’s not the family business or the “old-boys” network it used to be. That’s why the services of smaller manufacturers are increasingly targeted to precise verticals. Similar runs and reduced set-up time produces efficiencies and increases quality, thus distancing the manufacturer from low-price quotes. The predictability widens the margin in client-coveted prototyping, decreasing the cost of on-boarding new customers.
