- Drill-down from GL to submodules works seamlessly
- Easy import and export of data
- The software is relatively easy to manage
Cons
- Complications in configuration. Had to use a third party vendor to help us customize the system so we could better use it within the organization. This added additional expense
- Some error messages are in French. If you aren't French, or can't speak French, this makes it pretty hard to troubleshoot
- If you want to customize reports, you need to know Crystal Reporting (at least for the version I am using)
Return on Investment
- Created efficiencies within the organization.
- Centralized data input and retrieval.
- Can be an expensive undertaking for an SMB.
