FROM THE EDITOR

Our Readers Share
Their Opinions
EACH YEAR, WE conduct a reader survey that results in the Readers' Choice Awards, a
ranking of favorite programs and services used by our readers. Not only do we encourage
everyone who stops by our site in the early months of the year to cast their votes, but

we also encourage those companies who have skin in the game to rally their users to
show their support by voting for the products they use.
This year, perhaps more than
any previous year, the survey
results provide a backdrop to the
necessity of technology in our lives.
Try to imagine, if you will, getting
through the past year without the
use of technology. From Zoom calls

and file sharing to project management to the boxes of hardware so
many accountants moved from
their offices to their bedrooms and
kitchens; from helping our children
with remote learning and dogs
barking during conference calls to

electronic signatures and distance
audits; from scheduling and tax
planning to timesheets and, yes,
even hospitalizations - we relied
on technology every step of the way.
The programs and solutions
that our readers chose in this year's
survey are the tools that actually
got us through the past year - these
are more than experimental choices
- these solutions saved our careers,
our families, our client and personal
relationships. Look carefully at this
year's results, because the companies that made these products and
offered these services allowed us to
survive. Without them, we all would
have suffered so much more than
we did.
