Purchase and Implementation

At Avant Garde Information Solutions, we believe purchasing a business system is a process, not a transaction. We also believe a system implementation is more than just installing and supporting software. That’s why we take a different approach.

Our 7-Step Purchase and Implementation Process is designed to mitigate the risks commonly associated with ERP software implementations. Because we understand your concerns about cost, features and functionality, staff acceptance and ROI, we help you evaluate the system with a very critical eye to make sure aACE Business Suite is a good fit for your business.

Purchase and Implementation Process

After a live software demonstration, if you believe aACE is right for your business, we do the following as part of the 7-Step Purchase and Implementation process:

Thoroughly review the system with your implementation team
Recommend solutions for any issues your team identifies
Document any required software customization
Provide a very accurate cost estimate and timeline

Working with Avant Garde Information Solutions, you will:

Have transparency regarding the costs and timeline of your software implementation
Maintain control of your budget by having payments tied to deliverables
Approve the software customization required for your business
Get early buy-in from your staff for faster ROI
Feel confident about the business solution you roll out to your company

The key difference in working with Avant Garde Information Solutions is that you are fully aware of the progress made every step of the way. Because we are confident in our own performance, you do not have purchase the software until the end of the process. You also have the ability to exit the contract at the conclusion of every phase of the implementation if you are not completely satisfied with our progress. We are dedicated to you, our client, because we want your aACE Business Suite to be a perfect fit.

Selecting an ERP Solution Can Feel Like a Leap of Faith

Does this software have the features we need? That’s a tough question. There are hundreds, if not thousands of features in a business management system. When asking questions about features, think in terms of workflow. You’ll soon find out how fast a “YES” can turn into a “NO.”

Does your solution integrate with
UPS for shipping?

—Yes

But does it integrate with scales
and support Cash-on-Delivery?

Does the system support bank reconciliation?

—Yes

So it can import the file we
receive from TD Bank?

Does your solution support
time-tracking?

—Yes

But does it allocate an employee’s
time as expenses to the respective
job in the General Ledger?

Because we take a different approach, you won’t feel like you’re taking a leap of faith. Our process answers all of your questions in-depth. Don’t be misled by simple “YES” answers. Get the whole story. Contact us today
