Reduce Anxiety With A Sage 100Cloud Manufacturing Expert

If you're considering a migration to Sage 100cloud manufacturing software, it's important to keep in mind they are frequently more time consuming than anticipated. You can reduce your anxiety about achieving good outcomes by having an experienced, efficient partner on your side to help save valuable time. Here's what to look for in a certified Sage 100cloud discrete manufacturing solution expert to make sure your implementation is delivered on time.

They Know the Software

Make sure to look for seasoned solution teams with many years of experience. For example, the consultants at Vrakas/Blum Computer Consulting have an average of 20 years experience with Sage software. In some cases, certifications are available from the solution’s publisher, which typically require them to have completed dozens of implementations or hundreds of hours of training to obtain.  

When you consider the requirements of discrete manufacturing processes coupled with the complexities of the accounting and finance function, it’s important to be confident in your consultant to guide you to an ideal configuration. An expert with more experience usually has tested project plans that have been refined over several implementations, saving you time during your project due to those efficiencies gained from previous lessons learned.

They Know the Industry

Discrete manufacturing is one of few industries that have the level of diversity and unique processes. And your accounting system will need to interact with dozens of functional areas within your business, so having a partner that has previous experience specifically within your industry is crucial. 

An industry expert benefits you by shortening the number of iterations required to get your dashboards and reporting built to suit the insights your industry requires. An experienced consultant will have built the analytics you need dozens of times before. By understanding your unique needs, the right Sage100 Cloud discrete manufacturing expert will be able to anticipate what to include, what to watch out for, and how to optimize your software.

They Offer Ongoing Support

Often forgotten is the post-implementation support you're going to need. Make sure your consultant offers ongoing support, customization, training, upgrade support, and integration expertise to support your growing and evolving business. 

Also, the right partner should be proactively advising you of new add-ons to increase the automation of your discrete manufacturing solution so your software continues to support your business with new time savings and automations. Usually, your consultant can also offer customizations including custom development for companies with highly unique needs or business processes.
