As your systems becomes overwhelmed by this high level of buisness operations you will start to experience reduced performance in your accounting system. Reports take longer to process, simple tasks within the program slow down and general productivity decreases. These are the tell tale signs that you are outgrowing your current accounting system.

These progams designed for the small business are not implemented to handle a high level of transactions with complex buiness processes. They were designed to handle a certain size of business and thus are not capable of meeting a medium sized buinesses needs.

Another thing to consider is security. This involves security of your data and ensuring a good audit trail.  As more users start to use the systems limiting the role of each users becomes complex. Many people are editing changing data and you need to amke sure thereis a good trail of everything that is done which ish not always possible in smaller accounting systems.

You will need to design a budget to train all of your employees and prepare them for the new system, implement the accounting system and then slowly move all your current business process over to the new system. All this takes time and so it needs to be planned for in advance.
