Editor's Note:

Gail PerryWelcome to AccountingWEB's IT Zone! I attended a luncheon in 2001 where a major topic of discussion was whether the accounting firms who were represented by the people present at my table had started using computers. This was in 2001 - only seven years ago! And some of the people at the table had not yet begun using computers! Those who had not yet made it out of the dark age argued that they were older, established (and small) firms that had been around so long, they didn't see any need to change. I daresay, if those firms are still around today, they've either gotten with the program or lost most of their business. In any case, this new area of our Web site is for those of you who have gotten with the program. We hope to provide you with the latest IT news and resources that relate specifically to the accounting profession, so that you won't be caught arguing that there's no need to change.
