Case Study: Acclivity achieves cloud-based accounting functionality with Ascendum Solutions

Acclivity launches AccountEdge Cloud with Ascendum Solutions, targeting 1,000 customers in 30 months

Acclivity, a provider of accounting software, faced the challenge of extending the functionality of its desktop application, AccountEdge Desktop, to a browser-based environment. This was needed to serve remote users and employees who did not want a full application installed on their computer. They partnered with Ascendum Solutions to develop this new cloud-based platform.

Ascendum Solutions developed AccountEdge Cloud, a suite of browser-based modules including Order Entry, Dashboards, and Admin roles. The solution replaced a reliance on Dropbox with a more reliable syncing method and was designed for a phased rollout of additional features. The measurable outcome for Acclivity included a go-to-market plan projecting revenue of $40-60 per customer per month and a target of 1,000 customers within 30 months. Ascendum Solutions delivered one of the first cloud-based syncing apps in the marketplace.
