The Importance of Choosing the Right ERP Partner

One of the riskiest and most stressful times that any business inevitably goes through is the process of implementing an enterprise resource planning solution. Not only are you taking on an in-depth project, you’re also putting all your critical data into the hands of a company to take you there.

When searching for company to take your ERP project from idea to reality, you’re putting a lot of faith in this company to deliver on their promises. Knowing this, the line between success and failure often comes down to the partner you rely on—making this choice nearly as important as the software itself.

About Cloud 9 ERP Solutions

At Cloud 9 ERP Solutions, we don’t like the term value-added reseller. Do we resell software from a top vendor in the business management software space? Yes. Do we add value? Our customers certainly think so. But we’re putting a lot more on the table than that.

After more than 30 years’ experience making business management software work for our clients, we never thought of ourselves as simply resellers—we thought of ourselves as partners. We still put our name on the line for every project and our best resources for each job.

From the early phases of the decision-making process to the implementation, training, and long-term support, our job and our mission is to be a true partner and a trusted resource. We want to be there for you long before an implementation project begins and be the first ones you call when you need help getting the most out of your software.

As a Gold Certified Acumatica Partner, we have a lot to prove and a lot more to lose—so when you turn to us, you are getting the experience, expertise, passion, and prideful work that you don’t find out of someone who’s simply a reseller.

With proven success configuring and implementing Acumatica Cloud ERP software, training users, and empowering business leaders in a variety of industries, Cloud 9 ERP Solutions is the implementation partner you need.

“We decided to move to Acumatica ERP in Jan 2015.  Our partner is Cloud 9 ERP Solutions and we have been very happy with them. They have walked us through the implementation process, dug in and found solutions when we needed to do something a little differently and gone to bat for us when we needed help. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our move to Acumatica and working with Cloud 9 ERP Solutions.”
