Is your on-premises system, like Dynamics GP, holding your business back? As your company grows, the limitations of traditional ERP systems often become glaringly apparent. Symptoms include restricted accessibility, rising IT costs, and struggling to scale efficiently.

Why Cloud ERP?

Transitioning to a cloud-based ERP system like Acumatica offers many advantages that can help you overcome these challenges:

 

  • Flexibility and Accessibility: Access your business data anytime, anywhere. Acumatica allows your team to work from multiple locations without being tied to a specific office or server.
  • Cost Savings and Scalability: With cloud ERP, you eliminate the need for expensive on-site servers and their associated maintenance costs. Acumatica’s scalable pricing model grows with your business, allowing you to add functionality without breaking the bank.
  • Enhanced Security: Enterprise-grade security measures protect your data on Acumatica’s secure cloud platform, hosted by AWS. This minimizes the risk of data breaches and server failures.

Success Story: Erickson International

As a leading manufacturer and distributor of optical quality film coatings and laminations, Erickson International expanded to seven locations, their on-premises systems couldn’t keep up. As you might expect, this led to inefficiencies and increased IT expenses.

The Results?

  • Unified Operations: Acumatica connects all seven of the company’s locations, replacing disparate systems with streamlined processes.
  • Inventory Visibility: With valid inventory data accessible across all locations, both manufacturing and customer service became more efficient.
  • Lower IT Costs: Moving to the cloud ends the need for costly on-site servers and the headaches of maintaining them.
  • Enhanced Communication: Instant access to accurate, company-wide data frees staff from their reliance on error-prone spreadsheets and time-consuming manual data transfers.
  • Improved Efficiency: Fast access to critical information makes slow batch processing a thing of the past.
  • Simplified IT Management: With Acumatica hosted on AWS, the IT and management teams are free from server security or maintenance worries. They rest easy knowing their ERP software relies only on a solid internet connection.
  • Eased Training and Adoption: Acumatica’s user-friendly interface makes training employees straightforward.
  • Scaled for Growth: The flexible pricing model allows Erickson International to grow without the burden of escalating costs tied to additional users.
