Transitioning to a new accounting system or upgrading from an on-premise solution to a cloud platform is a significant step. Success hinges on understanding how your needs have evolved—a process we call Extended Relationship Analysis (ERA). A thorough discussion about these changes is essential for a seamless implementation. Some teams even use whiteboarding sessions to clarify and visualize these updates. Whether you’re a startup or an established organization, defining your requirements upfront helps solidify timelines and identify functions that may require apps or workarounds.
In the metro New York area, customization needs vary by industry. For instance, sectors like distribution and manufacturing often demand tailored solutions. However, in industries such as financial services, healthcare, and non-profits, a detailed discovery phase is often enough to ensure success. Taking the time to assess your unique needs will streamline the implementation process and ensure your chosen solution aligns with your operational goals.
When it comes to cloud-based solutions, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central stands out with over 50,000 active sites worldwide. Recognized by Forbes as the best ERP system for 2024, Business Central has earned a stellar reputation for its robust capabilities and proven success.
It’s also important to understand how different vendors approach implementation. For example, Microsoft partners exclusively with certified solution providers like Accountnet Cloud to ensure a personalized and transparent experience. In contrast, competitors like Sage Intacct and NetSuite often rely on direct sales teams that focus on demos and discounts, followed by impersonal implementations. This can result in setups occurring at odd hours, with little clarity on who is responsible for critical configurations.
At Accountnet Cloud, we believe you deserve more. You should know the team you’re working with, have confidence in the process, and trust the people setting up your system. That’s why we prioritize personal connections and local expertise to ensure your project’s success.
If you’re considering Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central for its positive reception among board members and management, start with a needs assessment. Taking this initial step will help build the connections and clarity you need to make informed decisions.
