Why Move from Sage 100 to Acumatica?  

Now more than ever, it's critical to make the most out of your ERP (Enterprise Resource Solution) system. Usually there are warning signs that you're outgrowing your existing system. It could be anything that causes inefficiencies in the workplace to a lack of functionality or autonomation that may impact your bottom line. Is your outdated system increasing overhead costs and reducing your profits?  Are you working outside the system with manual processes?  These are a few critical warning signs that you must take action.

If Sage 100 isn't keeping up with the demands of your business, learn why more and more customers are moving to Acumatica in this 5-part blog series.  

Reason #1: Acumatica is a True Cloud Product (download the PDF here)

Acumatica was built in the cloud. It doesn’t have a base of old legacy software that was configured to look like the cloud.  All you need is an internet connection, and it will work on any device. The screens resize to fit your device. Although Sage renamed Sage 100 to Sage 100cloud, it is not a true SaaS product, which affects speed and functionality.  Many Sage 100 customers are manufacturers and distributors.  Acumatica is ideal for these types of businesses.  In addition to the Acumatica Manufacturing and Distribution editions, Acumatica also has a Field Service Management edition and is integrated with our ProMRO for maintenance, repair, and overhaul.

Enjoy easy access to your business’s information anytime, anywhere with Acumatica for iOS and Android. Engage with Acumatica by using any web browser or device. No matter where you go, Acumatica goes with you.  You can remotely engage with Acumatica on any web browser on any device. Use the Acumatica app for mobile CRM, mobile sales orders, project timecards, service management, and much more.

”True cloud” means all functionality is accessible through the internet using a standard browser without the need for any software installation on the user’s device, and no additional software licensing is required.
