Migrating to a new accounting information system is not an easy task. Many firms have struggled with this process even though our textbook makes the process seem quite straightforward. Recently IBM recapped some of the lessons learned in migrating to a new accounting information system within the federal government. These lessons can be applied to any accounting information system project. Others have developed their own recommendations for best practices and lessons learned involving implementing accounting information systems.
