What does an Acumatica partner do?

An Acumatica partner is responsible for evaluating, implementing, configuring, and supporting the ERP system. Because Acumatica is delivered exclusively through certified partners, the partner you choose plays a critical role in how the system is designed, deployed, and supported over time. Milestone Information Solutions works closely with finance and operations teams to configure Acumatica around real business workflows, reporting requirements, and internal controls, not generic templates.

How do I choose the right Acumatica implementation partner?

Choosing the right Acumatica implementation partner means finding a partner you can work with long term, not just someone to install software. The right partner listens and takes the time to understand your business, understands accounting and operational workflows, runs a thoughtful discovery process, and designs the system to support how your business operates today and as it grows. As a Gold Certified Acumatica Partner, Milestone Information Solutions has more than 35 years of ERP implementation experience, including Sage 100, Sage 500, and over a decade focused on Acumatica. Milestone takes a finance-first approach that helps reduce risk and improve long-term system value. These are the qualities many organizations look for when evaluating the best Acumatica implementation and support partner for their business.

What is included in an Acumatica implementation?

An Acumatica implementation typically includes discovery and evaluation, system configuration, data migration, workflow and process design, testing, training, and go-live support. The exact scope depends on the business, industry, and modules being implemented. Milestone Information Solutions follows a structured implementation approach that starts with planning and roadmapping, then builds Acumatica around clearly defined requirements to ensure accurate data, clean financials, and strong user adoption.

How long does an Acumatica implementation take?

Most Acumatica implementations are completed in the 3 to 6 month range. Timelines vary based on system complexity, modules selected, data migration requirements, and integrations, with more complex environments taking longer. Milestone Information Solutions defines timelines during discovery so expectations are clear, risks are managed, and the system is delivered in phases that support business continuity.

Does Milestone Information Solutions provide ongoing Acumatica support after go-live?

Yes. Implementation is only the beginning. Milestone Information Solutions provides ongoing Acumatica support to help keep the system accurate, reliable, and aligned with day-to-day business needs. Ongoing Acumatica support from Milestone Information Solutions includes: - User support and issue resolution - Training for new team members and refresher training - Reporting updates and enhancements - Workflow review and refinement - Periodic system health checks - Planning and support for Acumatica upgrades - Enabling new Acumatica features - Adjusting system configuration as business needs evolve This ongoing support is designed to protect and enhance your Acumatica investment over time.

Which industries does Milestone Information Solutions support with Acumatica?

Milestone Information Solutions works with organizations across construction, distribution, manufacturing, professional services, and general business, including finance-focused and multi-entity organizations that need a flexible, high-powered accounting and reporting platform. This experience allows Milestone to configure Acumatica to support industry-specific accounting, reporting, compliance, and operational workflows while maintaining a consistent and scalable ERP foundation.

Can Milestone Information Solutions help migrate my system to Acumatica?

Yes. Milestone Information Solutions has helped organizations migrate to Acumatica from a wide range of legacy, mid-market, and entry-level accounting and ERP systems as reporting, operational, or scalability needs outgrew their existing platforms. Here are some of the systems that Milestone Information Solutions has helped customers migrate from: - Sage 100 (MAS 90), Sage 500 (MAS 500), and other Sage products - Macola - QuickBooks and other entry-level accounting systems - Microsoft Dynamics products, including GP, NAV, AX, and SL - Cloud-based accounting and ERP systems - Legacy ERP systems built on SQL databases - Custom or industry-specific systems, such as Famous or Seasoft - Spreadsheet-driven or disconnected systems These migrations are planned to preserve critical historical data, improve financial and operational workflows, and minimize disruption.

How do I know if my business is a good fit for Acumatica?

Organizations typically consider Acumatica when their current accounting or ERP system can no longer support reporting, operational, or growth needs. This is often driven by: - Increasing transaction volume - More complex financial reporting and analysis - Multi-entity structures and consolidations - Project or inventory complexity - Heavy reliance on spreadsheets or manual workarounds - Limited integration between systems - The need for better visibility and controls As transaction volume grows, many systems struggle with performance, reporting, and period-end close, increasing reliance on manual processes. Acumatica is designed to handle higher transaction volumes while maintaining speed, visibility, and control as businesses scale. Milestone Information Solutions helps assess fit based on how your business operates today and where it is headed, rather than on company size or user count.

I'm currently using Sage 100 (MAS 90) or Sage 500 (MAS 500). Is Acumatica a good next step?

Many organizations consider Acumatica after outgrowing Sage 100 or Sage 500 for a combination of operational, financial, and technology-related reasons. Common drivers include: - Outgrowing the system: Increased transaction volume, more users, multi-entity structures, and added inventory or project complexity push Sage beyond its comfortable limits. - Heavy reliance on manual workarounds: Spreadsheets, rekeying, and workarounds for reporting, consolidations, approvals, and visibility signal the system has been outgrown. - Limitations of "moving Sage to the cloud": Hosting Sage in the cloud can improve access but does not change how the system operates. Many organizations still rely on VPN or remote desktop sessions. - Legacy technology and overhead: Older architecture, shifting product investment, and the cost of servers, upgrades, customizations, and security patching create long-term risk and IT effort. Milestone Information Solutions has decades of experience working with Sage 100 and Sage 500 and helps businesses evaluate whether their current approach still fits or if a different solution makes more sense based on how they operate today and where they are headed.

How do I get started with Acumatica and Milestone Information Solutions?

The best place to start is a conversation with Milestone Information Solutions about the pain points you are experiencing with your current accounting or ERP system and what you need going forward. This helps determine whether Acumatica is the right fit and what an implementation roadmap could look like. From there, Milestone tailors a focused Acumatica demo around your specific scenarios and day-to-day processes so you can see how the system would handle your accounting, reporting, and operational workflows in practice, making it easier to decide on next steps.
