Retaining and Hiring Technical People In Professional Service Organizations - "Techies are people too"

This advancing of technology beyond just one-time spreadsheets has certainly identified the need for the more technical professional to step out and support computer use throughout the organization. In addition, there is ample evidence that the techie has once again stepped out to become a vital support within every organization, especially in CPA and other professional firms.



Ideas in Motion: Michael Meyer - At the Intersection of Accounting Software and Collection Technology

Some would say HDTV’s intent to provide a more lucid picture and better quality might be a metaphor for today’s technology innovators. Now that we’re in what’s known as Web 2.0 and the future holds no boundaries for reinventing the wheel, along comes a new breed of technology experts - namely, Michael Meyer. Meyer’s goal isn’t to make accounting and technology easier for the prominent businessman who goes home every night to his illustrious HDTV, but for the average person to use on a practical, yet functional basis.

Ideas in Motion is a monthly column designed to focus on best practices within CPA firms and organizations involved in providing technology related services.
