It is no secret that many vendors of corporate finance software claim to have discovered the secret ingredients which make up the best corporate financial software.
The truth is that most of these vendors look into what competing vendors are offering and then imitate subtly or unsubtly.
The challenge then for vendors who want to stay ahead of the game is to solve accounting problems more intelligently than its competitors, offer cutting-edge, well thought through and genuinely useful capabilities that address financial pain points, and to offer a solution that is easy to install, setup, upgrade, and maintain. Above all, this new financial system software must be reasonably priced.
Simply put, with the market saturated with various vendors offering what they claim as the “best corporate financial software”, customers have understood that they can demand several capabilities for as low price as possible.
Gone are the days when customers felt they had no choice but to accept a 9-12 months implementation of a software and gone are the days when customers felt it was acceptable to spend a significant amount of money on system customization just to get the software to make sense for their business.
Today, if a financial system software does not allow a customer to model its business into it or if it takes too much time and effort to implement or even learn, then that software is out in the evaluation process.
