Acumatica, a provider of cloud ERP software, on Thursday announced a partnership with solutions integrators CoRealize and Les services SIPD to deliver Acumatica's innovative ERP software to the Canadian market. Acumatica allows mid-sized businesses to work from anywhere using software that can be deployed as a service (SaaS) or on-premise to reduce costs and automate business processes. In keeping with Acumatica's strategy of developing products to be sold through and implemented exclusively by VARs, CoRealize and SIPD will localize, customize, and provide support for Acumatica customers in Canada.

Both CoRealize and SIPD are led by industry veterans with years of experience in delivering ERP solutions to the Canadian market. Dawson Lane, President of CoRealize, has over 20 years of experience in the Canadian mid-market software space including running country operations for Navision Canada (now Microsoft Dynamics NAV). Pierre Dussault, President of SIPD, has over 20 years of experience in the IT industry and has developed an extensive knowledge of building systems as the exclusive master reseller of a traditional ERP system in the province of Quebec.

"We decided to partner with Acumatica after an extensive review of the current software-as-a-service (SaaS) and cloud ERP platforms," said Dawson Lane, President of CoRealize. "Acumatica allows businesses the option to switch between a SaaS solution on the Microsoft Azure platform and on-premise software according to the changing needs of their business."

Acumatica's horizontal cloud ERP application is already used by several enterprise customers in Canada, including services companies, hosting companies, shipping and logistics companies, and professional services companies. Acumatica has multiple currencies, complex tax structures, company specific workflows, and other features found in a mature ERP system, yet provides all of the advantages of a modern cloud-based platform.

"Acumatica ERP comes with advanced financial features and an integrated CRM package which allow clients to work from anywhere," said Pierre Dussault, President of Les services SIPD. "The robust customization tools allow us to adapt the software for the Quebec market using standard Microsoft development tools."

"We developed Acumatica to provide consultants and value added resellers with a cloud ERP platform that can be customized for specific verticals, regions, and customer needs," said Ezequiel Steiner, CEO of Acumatica. "With industry analysts expecting cloud computing to grow rapidly in Canada, we are pleased that veterans such as CoRealize and SIPD see the value in our software and can help us deliver winning solutions to the Canadian market."
