ICG’s second focus for 2023 is that Acumatica Cloud ERP is the 21st Century ERP for manufacturers and distributors. We talked about this at a high level in an earlier blog.

Roger Weidel, our Sales Director, has spent over 40 years working with manufacturers and manufacturing systems. Along with the rest of the ICG leadership team, Roger spent a significant amount of time evaluating move-forward ERP options. ICG continues to support all customers for whom their legacy ERP is still the best option.

However, for those in need of a more modern platform, Roger is aligned with the rest of the team that Acumatica Cloud ERP is the right choice.

Here are Roger’s top five reasons to consider Acumatica:
.
1. Our legacy ERP customers continue to pay money each month for inadequate maintenance and support. But it doesn’t have to be that way! Acumatica, and in turn, ICG, are able to offer significant support to our customers, ensuring their ERP investment provides continued value.

.
2. Acumatica is an actively supported ERP product that is seeing significant continued investment to enhance its capabilities. Acumatica’s roadmap provides major functional releases two times each year, and a majority of those features come directly from customer feedback.

.
3. It has a rich, browser-based user interface (UI), with built-in KPIs and core capabilities. These enhancements can be personalized to extend how the product works and what it does for the business and for users.

.
4. Acumatica’s extensive Value-Added Resource network has developed a wide-ranging library of applications to enrich the Acumatica solution and provide a solution that can cover almost all aspects of manufacturing, distribution, and commerce.

.
5. The product has deep and rich configurability that provides best-fit capabilities for manufacturers of all shapes, sizes, locations, and verticals.

.
Roger has seen first-hand the importance that ERP selection has on successful manufacturing operations. He joined the ICG team almost four years ago, following four decades working in an IT capacity within the manufacturing industry. Roger has worked for Eastman Kodak, Fourth Shift, SoftBrands, and Infor. At each, he held a variety of consulting, management, implementation, and sales roles. In addition to his education and on-the-job experience, he is also APICS (American Production and Inventory Control Society) certified. At ICG, Roger works with new and existing clients to identify ERP and IT areas of opportunity.
