ERP provider Acumatica announced a strategic alliance today with BDO, USA, one of the nation’s leading accounting and advisory firms.
This strategic alliance looks to fill a gap for servicing larger international Acumatica customers who require both a local presence and more global infrastructure from their consulting partner.
The Acumatica and BDO initiative was specifically created to meet the needs of an underserved segment of the mid-size enterprise marketplace: customers with exceptionally complex needs, large national or international requirements, and companies that value independence in their ERP selection or implementation process. Shared clients of Acumatica and BDO will also have a relationship with an Acumatica Certified Partner from its international network of experienced resellers.
As an Acumatica service partner, BDO will help clients identify and evaluate the right business management solutions and provide end-to-end support for particularly complex or international implementations, including systems, processes and people integration.
It’s hard to say what impact this will have on the market for Acumatica. Larger international customers are often reluctant to use the services of local consultants who lack a formal international presence.
This announcement follows Sage’s quiet announcement that their core market presence now focusses on Small, Medium and Accounting/Bookkeepers – removing enterprise market aspirations for now.
