Initial choices include deciding whether to go with Apple computers or IBM-compatible ones. Software packages ought to capitalize on the firm's strengths and weaknesses, and adequate planning and pre-delivery testing must precede implementation. Obtaining software through a vendor can facilitate maintenance and repair. An unbiased consultant may be helpful.

Accounting software adds up; upgraded systems meet clients' new demands
Article Abstract:
Law firms should remember that upgrading their accounting systems can be well worth the money. After determining financial system needs, they should look for a system with a relational data base, fourth-generation language, flexible data structure, a report writer function, firm-wide online access, and integration into third-party software. The system should also have centralized management so its security can be better controlled.
