you usually work with companies that are starting from scratch, or do you try to improve the systems that are already in place?

Sorta both. I implement PeopleSoft systems, so sometimes it is an upgrade and sometimes it is a new installation. I make it a point to understand the functionality (I plan on getting a CPA this year just for the heck of it).

But the scope of the project and the technological infrastructure determine how much influence I have on what we can do. But I always look out for the client (even if they disagree about what is "best" for them).

When all is said and done (which I prefer over the more consulatant-esque "at the end of the day") I always feel good about my advice to the client.

I can remember when a CPA was needed in our house. Now, I'm lucky if I need a caluclator! *snort!* ;)
