JAMIS Prime ERP

Review of Acumatica Jamis Prime 6.1 ERP for Government Contractors

Comments: It does solve our business accounting requirements, except for the lack of different Home Base Currency within a Company Database Tenant to preserve intercompany and consolidation functions.

Pros:

Very well designed fundamentally and technically for government contractors. They know government contracting. Where Deltek is more for overall PSA and Project Mgt. For a SaaS or OnPrem product, it has good mainstream functionality. Piggybacking in Acumatica framework is nice, as it adds additional resources online and consulting. All the Jamis "modules" of Job Management, Subcontracting, Time & Expense, Contract Managment, etc.. are good. You get the Acumatica InterBranch Functionality, Some Allocations Functionality, and all the great GL, AP, AR, Fixed Asset, Cash functions. Customization if pretty straightforward. This question only addresses "software". Pros of Jamis the company: Great Professional Services team. Great Training and Learning Development Team.

Cons:

Menu Items - lefthand menu bar is missing all the verbs. It is just a list of nouns, and hard to tell QUICKLY what each one does. (this is customizable, but why should I have to) Field Lookup and Search functionality on data and transaction entry is wonky, and it works differently in different fields, which is frustrating. Because it uses the Acumatica framework, Jamis has to wait a whole cycle/year or two for Acumatica to to do and release their updates and upgrades, for Jamis to then do theirs. (two step cycle is slow). Acumatica is not for International Multinational. Acumatica (hence Prime) is limited in its Multicurrency, Translation, Consolidations, and Intercompany functionality because, even in 2019 and 2020, although they say they changed it dramatically, they just renamed a few things. Within a "Company Database Tenant", you can have many "Branches" set as "Company" or "Branch", with Consolidation and InterBranch functions, but all of them have to have USD Home Base Currency. For different Home Base Currencies, you have to setup separate "Company Database Tenant", then you lose the Interbranch and Consolidation Translation functionality. This question only addresses "software". Cons of Jamis the company: Poor Customer Support Team. They use that role for all new trainees to "learn", so they always have to "go find the answer" from Professional Services or Training. Not acceptable.

Jamis Prime ERP

Comments: Overall it's been a great experience. I am very happy with the implementation of the new system.
It has saved countless hours of excel spreadsheet experience for certain.

Pros:

Jamis Prime software is extremely easy to use and I am able to rid myself of all of the excel spreadsheets of prior years. This software definitely packs a bang for the buck as it is all inclusive. Integration with the existing system was painless. We are now able to generate reports on request and little effort. I love the reporting feature the most because all you have to do is choose the field!

Cons:

To date I have not experienced any cons with the software itself. Issues encountered were a result of my misunderstanding how to process requests.

Easy to use but needs better reporting and HR integration

Pros:

Establishing new contracts, various billing rules, and invoicing is very easy.

Cons:

Lack of usable reports for info that should be easy to find, and HR is not integrated well at all. In fact, HR is a separate system altogether.

JAMIS is a Great ERP

Comments: The staff is very friendly and helpful. No ERP is perfect and JAMIS is very responsive with any issues that arise.

Pros:

Reporting ability. JAMIS has 3 reporting types and can connect to Microsoft office programs very easily allowing for quick analysis and reporting. Connecting to Power BI allows for a simple presentation of accounting information to non-accounting personnel.

Cons:

The inventory module needs to be more fully integrated. But they are working on that for a future release.

The business planning module has proven to be a large undertaking to implement.

great software package

Pros:

I appreciate the easy of using Jamis. It is simple once we get the hang of where to find things. Being able to run reports for recon is my favorite part-thank you

Cons:

the training is rather expensive for our company and we are unable to attend-some reports are not as detailed as i would like. Unless i do not know where to find them.

JAMIS for us.

Comments: JAMIS support is second to none. They are always working on improvements and really want users to exceed at utilizing the whole system.

Pros:

JAMIS is super easy to use and is RELIABLE in comparison to other systems. Real Time accounting is most important to me to ensure task budgets stay on track.

Error messages tend to take some time to decipher.

Review of PRIME ERP Software System

Comments: Consolidated financial data is very helpful & beneficial. This has been a benefit to our owners & stockholders.

Pros:

I especially like the drill down capability & the ease of posting to multiple branches & departments with in one application.

Cons:

Nothing comes to mind at the present time.

Jamis invoice process is what I use

Comments: The company I worked, I had to use excel and several reports to come up the data the PSRs provide.

Pros:

I like the invoice process. I job cost transaction reports.

Cons:

When you enter data in one section that affects another, it doesn't flow, it has to be entered again in the other section. The AR aging does not give the invoice rule number. We have to run report and manual enter this data. Several of us do invoicing and are responsible for our own invoice rule trackings.

Works great

Comments: Works great

Pros:

The product is easy to use. Has the ability to be used for multiple reports and report views.

Cons:

It's not always intuitive. I often need help to learn a new way to navigate the software.
