This slideshow covers how to go about a system selection process. Procurement of a system and managing vendors is a minefield for unsuspecting staff. This slideshow was created as part of a presentation to the ACCA Accounting professional body.
The Payoff
At the end of this process, whether you choose to sell your company or keep it, there is a huge reward. I call it the EOS Life:
The chance to do only the work you love to do
Doing it only with people you love to be with
Making a significant difference in the lives of others you touch
Being well paid for your efforts and risk
Having the time for other passions in your life
What a life! If you owned a business that allowed you to live that way, you might not want to sell it! But if you did, you can be sure it would fetch a premium price.
