Acumatica, a provider of cloud ERP software, has revealed that more mid-sized customers have upgraded to modern Web-based software without losing control of their data and their costs.

Several business customers whom have switched from NetSuite to Acumatica, will now benefit from flexible deployment, eliminate vendor lock-in, select upgrade times, integrate with on-premise systems, and control stored data, company officials said.

Acumatica customers can select to deploy the application on-premise or as SaaS (News - Alert), and pay an upfront license or an annual subscription.

J.Goodin, a fashion jewelry manufacturer and distributor, switched from NetSuite to Acumatica to improve transaction processing speed during the busy holiday period without being locked-in to recurring SaaS license payments.

“Acumatica provided a Web-based solution that we could install on-premise and integrate with other on-premise systems,” said Jay Cheng, CEO of J. Goodin, in a statement. “We gained on-the-go access to data without being locked into recurring payments or losing control of our data.”

The Acumatica software manages multiple distribution processes for J.Goodin including build-to-order, drop-ship, and build-to-stock. Salespeople enter orders directly into Acumatica while Acumatica's integration tools accept electronic sales from J.Goodin's network of wholesalers, retailers, and online properties.

J.Goodin leveraged Acumatica after it failed to utilize both NetSuite (News - Alert) and SAP Business One. NetSuite provided access from anywhere, but slow computations, lack of reliability, and ineffective support led J.Goodin to look for an alternative. With SAP (News - Alert) Business One, J.Goodin was unable to get the system implemented for several months so the project was abandoned.

“Many businesses such as J.Goodin are moving off SaaS-only solutions to implement Acumatica Cloud ERP,” said Ezequiel Steiner, CEO of Acumatica. “After using NetSuite, many customers want to regain control of where they place their data, when they upgrade, and how they pay for their software.”

Recently, Acumatica Indonesia announced it enrolled eight distribution partners to cater to its wide base of customers. The company’s growth in Indonesia is due to the demand for cloud ERP software.
