The Quantum Group Case Study

• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) - Cloud Computing

• Business Operation

• System Integration

The Quantum Group, a producer of high-quality, custom-manufactured fabrics, had a complex corporate structure consisting of seven companies in three different physical locations. Managing this corporate structure without excessive software expenses was critical for Quantum’s business. They needed a solution that could manage general ledger, receivables, purchase orders, and payables functionality performed by several different individuals. The solution had to be accessible from any location without the expense and challenge of installing and maintaining client software. Prior to implementing Acumatica, Quantum used NetSuite to manage their financials. However, NetSuite didn't provide Quantum with the control they needed over their costs, support, or user licensing.

The Quantum Group is a producer of high-quality, custom-manufactured fabrics which are used in a variety of commercial and industrial applications. The company has a complex corporate structure consisting of seven companies in three different physical locations. At the headquarters level, Quantum needed general ledger, receivables, purchase orders, and payables functionality that was performed by several different individuals. The solution had to be accessible from any location without the expense and challenge of installing and maintaining client software.

Quantum recognized the benefits of a web-based SaaS solution—no client software to install, access from all locations, access to real-time data, and no technical resources required. Acumatica provided a SaaS solution that didn’t lock Quantum into a particular solution and provided them with the ability to control the timing of their upgrades. Unlike NetSuite, Acumatica does not charge user-based fees so Quantum can involve more people in business process automation. The Acumatica migration tools made it easy for Acumatica value added reseller, M2 Technologies Inc. to migrate Quantum from NetSuite to Acumatica. Acumatica’s Integration Services includes tools for importing files or building direct connections to other systems using web services. These tools can be used to reduce the cost of migrations from legacy systems or other web-solutions.
