GP Migration and Upgrade

  • 5.0
  • Overall Rating 5 stars

Reviewed by:HillT Reviewed on:3/7/2013

Pros
IBIS continues to impress me year after year. The customer support is amazing. When I have a problem, I get fast answers from experts who are willing to listen and delve into issues without hesitation. When I have projects, I get scalable solutions- right sized to current needs but that will grow with me. IBIS has built such a wonderful relationship with my company, I think of them as an extension of my company. We have shared many successes, and I am confident any project or problem I face in the future will have the same result.
Cons
They are already at the top of the game, there is not anything they need to improve upon. They only thing they would ever need to keep in mind is how to maintain their current level of service as they grow. So far, they have done just that. They are the benchmark other companies should aspire to.

You are such a great client and I've always valued your forthright, blunt feedback. I know we've talked in detail about the project management issues on the last project and I hope you are seeing improvement.

With respect the 3rd party knowledge, I'll call you to discuss and see what I can do to improve.

I hope I'll see you at Convergence but, if not, I'll come down and see you before close of business in April.

Seller Reply Posted on: 3/6/2013 Tommy:

That's a very fair comment. Our GP staff was very CPA and accounting heavy in the earlier days and has become more technical over time. Mark Polino actually wrote a blog entry about this, showing it as an industry trend. Part of that is a reflection of the massively low unemployment rate amongst accountants and part of that is hiring bias on our side.

With that said, we are consciously trying to hire ex-controllers and CPA's onto staff for both GP and AX.

Thanks for the feedback - we'll talk soon if I don't see you at Convergence.

We recently moved to Ibis as our MS Dynamics partner, and they have proven to have the expertise we needed to solve a variety of growth/scalability related issues. Their staff is responsive and knowledgeable, and we look forward to working with them as we continue to grow. In an industry where one often finds consultants to be distracted and overpriced, Ibis brings considerable value to our organization.

I really appreciate you for making the above comments. We have iSight in both Atlanta and Charlotte each year which is free to all customers and includes an entire day of educational material on GP, CRM and AX. Included are a fair amount of social activities.

At Convergence, we have a Customer Appreciation party but, of course, it costs money to attend Convergence despite our party being free of charge.

With that said, I'll personally come up to say hi. Look for an email from your account rep to set it up.

Thanks for being a great customer!

Pros
Our business operations are quite complicated and coupled with a large amount of customizations to our ERP system can make support and future implementation more difficult. IBIS raises the bar with their excellent support staff and response times! They took time up front to learn as much about your company and processes as they could up front and continue this often.

Seller Reply Posted on: 3/6/2013 Frank:

Thanks for the comments. I wish we could lower our hourly rates to our clients in some way. We recently announced a 2% rate increase to factor in over the next year, the first increase since 2008. We are aggressive about keeping OPEX down, about creative hiring and about getting (and keeping) the highest quality people we can. As a result, our personnel costs are the single highest cost we carry (don't even get me started on health insurance increases).

I don't expect sympathy on this since I know you face the same challenge. We are constantly working on better, faster and more productive ways to do what we do, packaging more software and services into fixed fee, purpose built offerings (like our SharePoint Customer Portal, Entry Level BI deployment, Capital Cost Tracking Project, etc).

We'll keep trying. Thanks for being a valued client.

Pros
IBIS is more than willing to work with customers who take on the responsibility of their own ERP system ... to help where expertise is needed. We especially appreciate that they are willing to partner with other organizations when they know they may not have the level of expertise needed for that area (although they have expertise in most areas) ... i.e., they won't take you on as a ginuea pig to gain knowledge. They are high in integrity and I trust them full out. They have been in the GP virtual family a long time and retain their employees.
Cons
No issues to date.

Can't believe I'd say this, but their sales force is less like a typical sales force ... no pressure.
