Integration

Acorn Systems integrates into any environment. Period. As proven in hundreds of implementations, as long as data exists, we can connect to the source. Acorn has successfully deployed solutions in a wide variety of complex, global customer environments:

Our applications are based on open standards and leverage the capabilities of Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) and Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) to get the required data into Acorn and back out. Whatever your requirements, whatever disparate systems, whether vendor or homegrown, Acorn can integrate into your environment. Acorn clients include many organizations that primarily rely on other ‘mega-vendors’, yet have recognized the unique value Acorn provides.

One final point, although these vendors have various competitive or related solutions that to varying degrees can calculate profitability and cost data, and will stress that their solutions are better integrated to other portions of their portfolio, explore two things:

1). Many were acquired, so integration is a slowly developing priority.

2). The vendor will focus on their products to the detriment of true open integration.
