As an IT leader, one of the greatest challenges that you likely face isn’t outside competition; it’s application sprawl. Your organization’s ever-growing digital footprint increases its susceptibility to digital threats and makes managing constrained resources exceedingly difficult.
Thankfully, you can maintain a holistic view of your team, department, resources, and digital footprint by implementing cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) software.
A cloud ERP software solution, like Acumatica, is traditionally viewed as a solution for businesses that deal in physical goods, but IT leaders like you can reap the benefits of Acumatica ERP software all the same.
With that being said, the Acumatica cloud ERP platform will help you do the following:
Optimize IT Spending and Uptime
Information technology teams are being asked to do less with more, and though that certainly seems like a big ask, a flexible solution like Acumatica ERP can help you appease stakeholders by keeping your IT spending in check while also maximizing your uptime in the process.
Acumatica offers deployment flexibility, meaning you can do so in a private, public, or hybrid cloud environment. Choose the strategy that makes the most sense for your business while simultaneously optimizing uptime and protecting your data.
You can also scale your Acumatica implementation as your needs evolve or your budgetary restrictions change. That kind of versatility allows you to navigate today’s challenges while leaving the door open for future growth.
Customize Your System to Meet Your Unique Requirements
One of the key value propositions of Acumatica ERP software is its customizability. The platform includes intuitive visual workflows that you can augment, along with nearly every other aspect of the software, to align with your differentiated business processes.
Acumatica has made the customization process easy by making its ERP software compatible with popular DevOps tools, such as Microsoft .NET, and compatible with popular programming languages like C#.
You can even integrate with your existing software solutions to create a simpler, more accessible technology ecosystem thanks to Acumatica’s web services and selection of REST/SOAP APIs. Even if the specific API you need isn’t offered, your team can easily build one with the aforementioned development tools.
Tap Into Business Intelligence and Analytics Tools
One of the biggest hurdles created by application sprawl is a lack of visibility into IT-related metrics. Thankfully, Acumatica ERP software provides users with access to timely, relevant data and a holistic view of their organization.
You can use the platform’s intuitive reporting capabilities to visualize key data and keep stakeholders in the loop, and while Acumatica’s native analytics tools are plenty useful on their own, the platform also integrates with Microsoft Power BI, with which you can create custom goals and track relevant KPIs to ensure your team is meeting the organization’s IT goals.
Maintain Data and User Security
Acumatica ERP software includes several layers of security as part of its standard product offering, but it also offers data backup and recovery solutions when you opt for its SaaS deployment option. If your organization requires supplemental security provisions, you can easily integrate them into your Acumatica platform as well.
Facilitate Long-Term Growth
Acumatica ERP software can facilitate long-term growth by removing friction and inefficiencies from your workflows, and you can use its powerful automation tools to simplify reporting, tracking, and analytics processes.
From a cost perspective, Acumatica offers affordable scalability, meaning it can meet your organization’s needs now and for years to come. The platform’s modular design allows you to adopt new functionality as your growth journey necessitates.
Additionally, Acumatica has a unique pricing model that is based on consumption, modules, and usage. Acumatica does not charge by the user, which distinguishes it from other mainstream ERP software solutions. As an IT leader, that gives you the freedom to enroll your entire team without incurring excess technology costs.
