挑战
拉斯维加斯大都会商会是美国最大的商会之一，二十多年来一直使用 Sage 进行会计工作。然而，三个实体的手动升级需要几天时间，而且通常很少提供新功能。商会在一个旧服务器上运行 Sage，该服务器有时会在奇怪的时间神秘地宕机，导致会计团队每隔几个月就会闲置几天。当服务器每隔几个月无缘无故宕机几天时，这就成了一个问题。然后它会时好时坏，你永远不知道它什么时候会再次宕机；这是随机的。
关于客户
拉斯维加斯大都会商会是美国最大的商会之一，拥有三家子公司，管理着约 3,500 名会员。除了主要会员实体外，商会还通过 Insurance Benefits LLC 向其会员销售保险，以 501 (c) (6) 的形式运营非营利商会基金会，并运营商业政治行动委员会，为代表其会员支持商界的政客捐款。商会使用 Sage 进行会计工作已有二十多年，并在新版本发布时进行升级。
解决方案
商会改用基于云的系统 Acumatica，这样他们就无需升级服务器，而且在商会办公室发生意外时，所有系统都可以从异地使用。商会与 Acuity 合作准备迁移，包括从三个实体提取数据并在上线前在 Acumatica 平台上进行测试。实施过程非常顺利，商会得以简化多个流程。

Flex Contact Center: Supporting rapid business growth with IBM Connections Cloud and IBM Verse
Flex Contact Center, a professional services company offering telesales, call-center, anti-attrition, back-office, helpdesk and collection services, has grown rapidly since its establishment in 2009.

PureFluent: Connecting to partners and customers through the cloud for enhanced productivity
