Overall Satisfaction with Abila MIP Fund Accounting

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use MIP across our entire agency. It helps us manage our budgets, financials, AP entry, AR management, payroll, time cards. We manage our grants expenditures and revenue in MIP. We use the web-based version now. We use the PO processing function with the e-req system and liquidate our PO for invoices.

Pros and Cons

Pros

AP entry - helps manage and prevent double entry and is very easy to review entries for payment.
E-req ability - very easy to track; we have not recorded invoices when compared to POs outstanding.
Payroll processing - very easy and direct to manage paychecks and direct deposits.

Cons

Reporting financials for budget review. We have not found a clean way to double check the budget entry.
Cloud based software loses connection and deletes settings a couple times a week.
Printing functions for cloud based will sometimes pop in printers from different companies.

Return on Investment

The cloud based software I would say cost us more in IT support and wasted time for employees.

Alternatives Considered

QuickBooks Online and Intacct

Management liked MIP online better because it helped manage multiple funds at once.

Likelihood to Recommend

We use the cloud-based [version] and I find that the having the ability to print to a printer that belongs to another company could be dangerous.
