Deltek Maconomy vs Agiled: Which is a better fit?

Robert T.: Hi there. My name's Rob, and I am the president and founder of my organization, and I'm giving Agile a five, and you can click on the link below for more of the review. Before Agile, I was really using, I'm going to call it a Frankenstein. I was using a lot of different applications, everything from Honey Book, to Excel, to Basecamp, to Trello, and trying to manage all of those. Dropbox for client files. It was just trying to piece all of those things together was just too much so I looked at Agile and found that all of those functionalities were built into the one platform. With Agile, the thing that I really like about it is, is with my organization, I'm trying to grow and I wanted to have the infrastructure and the pieces in place so that I could do that easily without having to change it all later. Being able to have a CRM, an HRM, so a human resource management tool built in, but also being able to use it for project management and the client portal. Those pieces together make it so that everything's built in. I'm using it for accounting and proposals now as well. It's really going to be really the backbone of my organization. Getting started with Agile was actually not that big a deal. It's a continual process, and going through all of the tutorials and the videos and the upgrade recently to the new interface was pretty simple. It's really just making sure that you're migrating the data that's important and the information that's important and setting it up so that you can do it. But even if you mess up, it's not that big a deal. You can actually change things pretty easily and quickly on the fly. Getting started with Agile, the biggest piece of advice I'd have for you is be thoughtful on what you're trying to accomplish and why you want the tool in place for your business. Only put the information in that you need to get started. Don't try and migrate everything, because a lot of times if you do that, it's garbage in, garbage out. So be thoughtful on what you're trying to accomplish, what the platform's really going to do for you, and then build your plan and your implementation plan from there. It doesn't have to be a highly documented tome. Use your note cards, use whatever, but build out the process and build it so that it fits your business. Don't make your business fit the tool.
