Bring on the Recession
It's the Best Time to Strengthen Your Strategic Position
 Everyone seems to agree that we are heading into shaky financial times. So what is a smart CFO to do? According to a paper by senior partners at Mercer Management Consulting, "Many senior managers, especially in North America, have little or no experience steering their firms through a recession. So when the next recession arrives, they're likely to react instinctively and hunker down with fixed cuts across the board. If you're lucky, that's what your competitors will do." Among the strategies they recommend:
- Become indispensable to your best customers.
Focus on costs, but avoid the traditional across-the-board cut. Instead, cut back in areas that support your weakest customers or market segments. - Control inventories and receivables by sharpening up your production and logistics management skills.
- Invest in future opportunities now, because a recession is the best time to buy or build those assets.
- Accelerate your shift to becoming a digital business.
If you make the right moves now, you should rebound from a downturn sooner, stronger, and with a markedly improved strategic position. Read Full Article  Learn More on May 28th - "5 Ways the Right Accounting Software Can Help You Save Money in a Slow Economy" |

- Get 0% financing for 36 months on Microsoft Dynamics GP: Spread your software cost over 3 years in predictable monthly payments with no interest. Expires June 20, 2008.
- New Tax Incentives from the IRS: Implement new software by Jan 1, 2009 and take advantage of increased Section 179 Expensing (now up to $250k per year) AND a 50% first year bonus depreciation. Combine with financing offer so you can claim tax benefits this year but pay over 3 years.
Following the market principle to "buy low", take advantage of a slow economy and get industry leading financial management software for the lowest price. Contact Me For More Details |

| Trivia Tidbits The Business Cycle Dating Committee of the National Bureau of Economic Research in the US is charged with deciding when recessions begin and end.
