    QuickBooks does the basics of accounting pretty well, but is woefully deficient in its allowing of control to the user. Exporting information is in CSV format or Excel. It will export to no other spreadsheet software. Importing of information seems to have been made difficult by the intention of the developers of QuickBooks, to make it difficult. The CSV format for importing is simple enough, but you must, on your own, usually through a third party, find the appropriate column labels. Some reports are good but often, you find yourself needing a report with a category that is simply not available for that report.

    SAP BYD work centers are consistent and easy to navigate once you understand one work center. The document flow tab that is in each window allows one to see all related transactions. Document flow is important because one is able to see the flow of transactions and can therefore reverse transactions by following the document flow in reverse. It is possible to group items in each overview screen to see what items are open. The system is working as hoped.

    I really enjoyed using this product and it was great having all the tools we needed in one place. I thought that employees would hate the time tracking capability, but they actually appreciated it. In the nonprofit industry, it is important to track time spent on projects for grants and this tool allows our staff to do this with little to no effort.

    The Business ByDesign support is stablished since you contract the service with SAP. SAP resolves according to the service level agreement. Currently, we continue with the service and we are using the support channels available. We are receiving the support. The SAP support gets an incident and after that, they contact us to resolve the incident, if necessary, they set the meeting to understand it or we explain the incident

    I recommend implementing all workshops during the ERP selection that you need to know very well about the ERP software. It allows us to gather information to accurate the plan of the project implementation. Additionally, we must reach the high-level commitment to achieve the main goals, to define the RACI matrix and communicate to all project stakeholders.

    ByDesign stacks up well against the competition. Companies that do multiple things are usually the best fit (manufacturing, distribution, and service). The more 'modules' used, the fewer competitors will be able to meet the company's needs. It is not inexpensive, but if the needs of the company have the complexity from either a global perspective and need localizations and foreign currency, or a volume perspective and need resources greater than what can be easily housed on-premise, ByDesign should be a top consideration.

    • QuickBooks supplies a platform for basic accounting
    • It allows us to operate our business from a banking and taxes perspective.
    • It could do much more from a business management perspective.

    • Positive - Access to the real-time reporting allowing for faster decision making especially when fixed price projects are heading into an over budget position.
    • Positive - Complex KPI can now be tracked and as a consequence intensive plans can be made to capitalise on this level of reporting. Staff also have clear visibility over their own performance.
    • Negative - We are a bit on the small side at 30 employees for a ByD solution so it was relatively expensive for us. It would be a much better value preposition above 50 employees.
