Implementation Approaches
Client-Led Implementation
Sphere does a simple discovery with the client to collaboratively map out the project and requirements. The client then progresses at their own pace primarily using their own resources, with Sphere providing key guidance, advice and consultation as needed.
Quick-Start Implementation
This mid-range implementation option allows for a quick timeline using configured templates and a streamlined version of Sphere's implementation guidance and project management. There is typically little to no customization in this option, and the client is required to be heavily involved.
Full Implementation
Sphere's full-service implementation process includes discovery, project management, configuration, data conversion, testing, training, go live support and leading our clients through the entire journey to successful go-live.
Custom Acumatica Product Editions
Say no to having millions of features that you don't actually use! Starting from an industry-specific Acumatica product edition, we work with our clients to ensure that each module is built exactly to match their organization's current operations and workflows.
