ECI e-automate is a very stable on-prem application. The cloud version has yet to be tested and determined, but I have heard ok reviews. It is scalable for any size business to get started and then to add features; it functions as it should and is a robust tool with several features that can easily allow any entity to run their business.

I think D365 has the ability to be useful for 90% of businesses out there. Its just a matter of if those costs make sense but as far as what is on the market today in my opinion MS is number 1.

Sometimes when you need answers quickly, a voice on the phone is far better than having to wait for email support or a callback. I have found this to have delays and feel ECI e-automate should invest more in its support infrastructure.

Unfortunately, in the copy/print side of things, e-automate is the software to use, so our options were very limited when shopping around. When we decided to implement the IT side of the company, we didn't want to track the revenue, etc from the IT in a different application like Quickbooks, etc. so we had to make e-automate fit our needs.

I have used everything from industry standard TMS systems to SAP to various BIs like Tableau and Power BI. The point is my background is varied, but what's nice is being it's MS anything you already use that is also Microsoft will make Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance feel way more natural and native, being you have used MS products for years likely.

  • It has given us better insights into how our IT side is growing.
  • It took a lot of man-hours on our side to make it work for the IT side.
  • Inventory is still a very manual process.
