Ultra Insight
From Food & Beverage Manufacturing ERP Vendor Update (2020) DOWNLOAD
Deacom is a strong player in the mid-market, especially for process manufacturers in Food & Beverage, Chemicals and Life Sciences. It offers a rich feature set, as every release includes major functionality enhancements, which are rolled out to its entire customer base.
Ultra has seen several successful Deacom implementations over the years. While it is a smaller organization, it doesn’t over-extend its resources. But, due to its size, it goes to market in a direct-only fashion, which some may find problematic.
Deacom has some catching up to do in the cloud department, currently only offering on-premises or hosted solutions. Some companies prefer to partner with smaller organizations and, for them, Deacom is an excellent fit.
