Do microcomputers offer a solution to the many problems businesses face today?  Certainly, for word processing, spreadsheet, and graphics applications, they have been a real boon to productivity.  For more complex applications, such as integrated accounting systems, the results vary from situation to situation.  Many factors come into play – choosing the best software solution, setting up proper controls, adequately training system users, obtaining management's commitments to the project, etc.

We at Pierson and Pierson can assist you in the installation process of your microcomputer accounting systems through a structured installation approach.  At the heart of the structured installation approach is the presumption that an evaluation of your specific requirements, known as a "needs analysis", must be performed.  Without a "needs analysis", no bases exists for recommending one software product verses another. To represent only one software product and recommend it in every software selection situation is inherently risky, since you must adapt business procedures to the particular software's capabilities.
