Now Is the Time to Replace QuickBooks, Unanet, and Deltek

Modern Systems for Modern GovCon Challenges

Legacy financial systems like QuickBooks, Unanet, and Deltek have been adequate in the past when business environments were less demanding. However, with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) pushing for greater transparency and efficiency, these systems are now falling short.

Legacy ERPs lack crucial features

• Real-time visibility into rate components
• Manual exports needed for forecasting
• Inability to manage full contract lifecycles
• Heavy reliance on human input and paper-based processes

This makes it challenging for contractors to meet the increasing demands for complexity, tighter margins, and faster reporting deadlines.OneLynk by AtWork Systems is designed to address these modern challenges faced by government contractors.

OneLynk offers

• Fully integrated modules including HR, Finance, Contracts, and Timekeeping
• Real-time dashboards for Bid, Actual, Forecast rates
• Built-in compliance with FAR, DCAA, and CAS standards
• Enterprise workflows that digitize and automate back-office transactions
• A Dropbox-like document management system for centralized, secure, searchable records

This integration not only enhances operational efficiency but also helps in maintaining competitiveness by lowering indirect rates through automation and improved operational discipline under DOGE's regulations.

Switching from QuickBooks & Other ERPs

The urgency to replace outdated systems like QuickBooks with more robust solutions like OneLynk is underscored by the need for DCAA-compliant cost accounting systems that can handle complex project management and compliance requirements seamlessly. As outlined in the "Quickbooks to DCAA Compliant Accounting - Ten Questions When Switching" blog article:

• QuickBooks does not provide necessary job cost reports with allocated indirect costs in real-time.
• The lack of integration in QuickBooks necessitates manual processes which are not only time-consuming but also prone to errors.
• Switching to a system like OneLynk can significantly reduce manual tasks, improve accuracy in financial data, support internal controls, and ensure compliance with government audits.

Transitioning to an integrated system like OneLynk is essential for GovCons looking to stay compliant and competitive in a rapidly evolving business environment influenced by DOGE's standards.
