How to evaluate an app like a pro
Parks uses a custom intake form to thoroughly vet any apps she’s considering. “I use different criteria for evaluating what apps to use: security, viability for longer than 5 years, features that solve issues I have, support channels, and corporate culture.”
Kellie has a simple mantra for evaluating cloud apps: “I don’t try to solve problems I don’t have.” Consider if the app solves an existing problem in your workflow, and decide “Does this app fit the way that I work?” she explains.
“You need to evaluate your apps based on whether you need it, whether you can interface well with it, and whether or not you and your teammates understand it.”
Summing up
Security conscious accounting professionals often have hesitations about moving to the cloud, but Kellie disagrees. “You can still have great control, even if you’re not the one doing the pecking of the information in. People think they’re going to lose control because everybody says to automate, automate, automate. What they need to do is systemize, systemize, systemize. Whatever you do, make sure you’ve got a system for it.”
