Sightlines Consulting , which I usually admire, today added to the depleted reputation of accountants. Casting us as IT numbnuts, the author said:
"software may work but was poorly implemented; client bought software after being advised by their accountant so they ended up with nothing more than debits and credits (accountants believe that this is the extent of ‘business’);"
And, after a convoluted and poorly framed argument, it concludes:
"We are as interested in the Total Cost of Ownership as anyone. That’s why we believe so passionately in on-demand, software as a services, like NetSuite: SaaS has such a great TCO compared to on-premise packages."
OK – so there are some Luddites out there: but…I was deeply unimpressed with these unsubstantiated statements. If you’re as ticked off as I was, then go visit and let them know what you think.
