Acumatica partner selection is as important as software selection

It may surprise you to know that many organizations report ERP implementation attempts as failures.  While the statistics on this metric are varied (from 25% to over 50%), we know that many implementations fail to meet a standard of desired success.  There are many reasons that an ERP project can go awry. Once a project is off track, making necessary adjustments can be time consuming and expensive. One of the easiest ways to avoid becoming a statistic is to clearly define goals and measurements of success.  This is best accomplished by enlisting the services of an Acumatica implementation expert with the relevant experience to help you  implement based upon time tested methodologies.

Benefit #1: Save Time with an Industry Expert

While the goal may be to reduce costs and improve your overall operational efficiency, simply selecting a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution is only the first of many crucial steps. The ERP system must be properly configured according to the specific goals and requirements of each individual organization.  The reality is that each ERP project is unique and requires a specialized skillset that is ideally informed by experience in working both with the software and in similar types of organizations.

When it's time to select and deploy the ideal software, companies turn to certified Acumatica partners.  If your implementation partner has previous experience within your industry, they will be capable of quickly understanding the terminology, processes and challenges in your organization. Experienced Acumatica partners will often be able to bring new and creative ideas to the table based upon their past work with similar organizations. Ultimately, Acumatica partners with a history in similar industries will have the tools to accomplish a strategic set of goals that match or exceed the project goals.

Benefit #2: Take Advantage of Past Successes (and Failures)

Experienced Acumatica partners will often have a template to streamline or turnkey ERP software implementations, based upon previous successful projects. Learn from other companies' mistakes by selecting an ERP partner that has a proven methodology for getting you to a positive outcome in a shorter time frame.

It's not difficult to find a partner that has a basic software knowledge. It is more challenging to identify an expert that understands the impacts associated with transformative change and how that affects organizations within your industry.  The right partner can help you anticipate what you'll need to get from here to there successfully and seamlessly.

Benefit #3: A Wide Range of Business and System Knowledge

The ideal partner will bring a breadth of experience in operational and system knowledge to the table.  They will be good listeners and collaborators, offering solutions while taking your specific concerns into account.

Selecting the ideal partner for your ERP implementation may be more important than the software. You'll be less likely to become a statistic if you perform your due diligence and select an Acumatica partner with the industry and software experience that is relevant to your business and industry.
