Evaluate Your Business Systems:
Are your current business systems really working tools that have been incorporated into the way your company does business and intrinsically linked to operational and management activities, or do they serve more to record what has happened for later analysis?

Is the data that is presently available reliable, as generated by your current systems, or does your company depends on doing reconciliations, revisions, or even manual adjustments at the close of the month to make the numbers acceptable?

Are the various business processes of your company naturally integrated in the current systems, or do these functions operate solo, and consequently by default certain people are assigned the responsibility of ensuring that the information flow is consistent?

Are the response times for client requests satisfactory? Is the necessary information available to answer questions?

Does your company's experience with suppliers, recorded by your current systems, add value when it comes time to negotiate new contracts?

Is your company's evaluation of its financial position based directly on results obtained from the current systems, or is the evaluation based on doing reconciliations, revisions, or even manual adjustments at the close of the month to make the numbers acceptable?

Have you analyzed the quality of the information derived from your current systems versus the costs of maintaining those systems? How much would it cost to migrate from your present situation to an “ideal” environment?
