“Having an automated system-of-record for capitalization of internally developed software costs is a huge asset for software companies that need to justify their investment in R&D without distracting teams from getting the job done. From my experience at GitHub and Datadog, being required to adhere to an archaic accounting rule to capitalize on these costs was a very heavy uplift for the Finance team and the R&D teams. Automating this work allocates thousands of hours each year to more mission-critical operational initiatives.”
