1. An agent on your behalf. Sage consultants can act as a lever to help you achieve a better outcome. Sage consultants work with many Sage customers and are therefore more valuable to the Sage organization than you alone. A good Sage Consultant can help you get attention from the larger organization when it’s most needed.
2. Industry experts. Sage implementation consultants and Sage consulting teams are often experts within an industry or a few industries. It’s important to find a consulting firm that has worked with similar businesses to yours. Sure, a skilled Sage consultant can surely solve any business challenge but you want to find the most expedient solution (ie- least expensive, fewest mistakes and fastest to find the right solution).
3. Look for a comprehensive Sage solution consultant. Many mid-market customers have core platforms that make their business run in addition to Sage Intacct And it’s more common than not to require a few solutions that sit on the edge of Sage Intacct or integrate with Sage. Think of things like expense management or route planning. A great solution provider can play quarter-back for management of your entire Sage ecosystem, not just the Sage application.
4. Post Go-Live Support. Going live is considered the kickoff of the game. A good Sage implementation consultant and Sage solution partner will have a plan to support your business as it grows and evolves. Immediately after go-live expect your team to envision new workflows and reports to make the business run better. Your Sage consultant will help.
5. A long-term optimization partner. Considering Sage Inacct subscriptions are typically 3-5 years a long-term partner is key to long-term success. Sage resellers can act as agents working on your behalf to re-negotiate a fantastic renewal agreement.S
