About The Customer
M5 Software is a software development company based in Denver, Colorado, United States. The company serves businesses across North America. Founded in 2012, M5 Software utilizes the Acumatica Cloud xRP Platform to help businesses schedule and coordinate their services. The company is dedicated to developing more tools for Acumatica and believes that Acumatica is the next great platform software. M5 Software is an Acumatica-exclusive development company and is constantly investing in developing more things for Acumatica.
The Challenge
M5 Software, a software development company, was facing limitations with Dynamics SL (Solomon) and other development platforms. The company was looking for a platform that could offer more advanced features and capabilities. The existing platforms were not evolving and were not meeting the company's needs. The company was introduced to Acumatica, a platform that was described as being more advanced than Solomon. After attending an Acumatica training for developers, the team at M5 Software was impressed with the framework and tools offered by Acumatica.
The Solution
M5 Software decided to work with Acumatica to create a service management program running exclusively on the Acumatica Cloud xRP Platform. The company was able to get their first release done in record time. The Acumatica platform offered a web-based system that allowed constant access for programmers and customers. The platform also offered both on-premise and web-based options, providing developers with flexibility. The customization capabilities with Acumatica were far better than Solomon’s. The platform also offered functionality across all modules, including dashboards, email sending capabilities, PDF creation, and attachment features.

Sawback IT and Datto Save Client From a Costly Mistake
Ballistic Echo, a software development house, faced a critical challenge when human error led to the deletion of thousands of lines of unique code. This incident occurred before the code was pushed to source control, resulting in significant loss of time, revenue, and work. The previous file-level backup solution they used was slow and inefficient, making it nearly impossible to manually recreate the lost work. The need for a more reliable and efficient business continuity solution became evident to avoid such disasters in the future.

Zapier Aggregates Multiple Analytics in a Single Dashboard with the New Relic Platform
Zapier, a company that enables non-technical users to push data between hundreds of web applications, was facing a challenge in automating and provisioning servers for optimal performance. The company's environment consisted of 50 Linux servers on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), a Django application split across several servers, and a backend consisting of a dynamic number of celery task workers fed by messages published to a RabbitMQ cluster. They also maintained a number of internal web services on nginx in front of Gunicorn and Node.js processes. Redis handled simple key and value stores, with logging handled by Graylog2 and ElasticSearch. However, they realized that no level of automation would be sufficient without an effective monitoring solution in place. They needed a tool that could provide immediate alerts when something was breaking and could be easily implemented into their environment.

Pipeline Insight Case Study: YARCDATA
YarcData faced challenges in determining the conversion rates of prospects into customers through various marketing efforts and identifying the source of its leads. They wanted to know the percentage of opportunities in the sales pipeline that came from different marketing events, web downloads, or self-sourced sales opportunities. Additionally, they needed the ability to drill down into the data to guide where to allocate more marketing dollars based on the success of previous efforts. Previously, YarcData relied heavily on spreadsheets and Salesforce.com reports, which made it difficult to extract the exact information they needed. This reliance on spreadsheets represented about 70% of their data presentation.
