Bloomberg
The fixed asset software is very advanced for software in general, but it is limited to accounting (GAAP and Tax) fixed assets. Would love to see a more IT user friendly software allowing IT personnel to use a gun to scan the servers and computers, etc. This wouldn't necessarily be a fixed asset as many computer items are too small dollar wise, but it would be a useful feature for IT and accounting to track IT assets by locatoin, user, departmetn, etc. and would be company wide. Another software needed is for company contracts with an ability to send out emails for notifications that a given contract is coming due. Obviously, this would be for contracts and leases but is also useful for accounting and would involve the whole company as there are contracts for rentals, equipment, service maintenance agreements, capital leases, IT contracts, etc.

Cons
Bloomberg
  • Better outlay of the depreciation section, rather see periods vertically, then horizontally. The periods are difficult to move through when you need to see many months in the past or vice-versa.
  • Would love to see an ability to mandate certain fields when creating an asset as every company is different.
  • Would love to see each field have the ability to have it's own pick list, and the pick list that does exist needs to be larger to allow for a longer list rather than just 8-10, then the rest are hidden so you have to move to section 2 to see that continuing list.
