Why Choosing an Experienced Unanet Implementation Partner is Crucial for Success

You’re converting your accounting system. You realize the time to leave Quickbooks or your legacy accounting system behind is now. Unanet is your system of choice, with its robust features and scalability to lead you into the future. Now, you need to find an implementation partner and Unanet SME to set up your system. Perhaps your implementation partner will also run the accounting for your post implementation. Do you need to implement and train your in-house accounting team? You may have considerations around the cost of the implementation. All of these are important factors to consider when choosing an implementation partner for Unanet. With all of these considerations, the biggest thing you should be asking yourself is how much experience and value does my partner bring to the table.

Pricing – Quick and Cheap Can Get Expensive

We have seen it many times. A company chooses to go the most inexpensive route with a system implementation or chooses a partner based on the lowest hourly bill rate. You may be setting yourself up for a costlier mistake down the road. Oftentimes, “budget” implementations get you set up with just enough for a system to be functional but do not get you up and running with all of the functionality Unanet has to offer. These can turn into optimization projects a year or two later that end up costing the same amount as if you had chosen a more comprehensive solution for implementation.

Why Experience Matters

Experience is also crucial for Unanet implementation. An implementer’s accounting knowledge, as well as implementation track record, is important to consider. With both of those key factors, a Unanet SME can properly advise you not only on best practices to set up Unanet but also on what they have seen work with countless other organizations. Let’s face it: you are moving away from Quickbooks, which has a very cookie-cutter setup. Unanet has many possibilities in how a system setup can be approached. Having a partner who has completed implementations ranging in size and complexity can draw on that experience to provide you with the best experience possible.
