Small, family-owned businesses frequently hesitate to automate their internal record keeping, especially if the staff is mature, with limited experience using software applications. While they may use software to prepare their annual tax return, this is usually done under the attention of an accountant. The small business staff typically exhibits less confidence in the use of software without the guidance of a professional. The underlying incident in this case is based on an actual occurrence and illustrates the utility of a carefully designed database application, tailored to fit the needs of a small businesses, along with the necessary training to instill confidence in its use.
