“Upgrading our GP system was absolutely necessary, but losing any time for an upgrade is always a challenge,” commented Domenic L. Pallaria, director, financial reporting at United Way of Massachusetts Bay and Merrimack Valley. “Paragon scheduled the time with our IT department on fairly short notice, allowed 2-weeks for us to test and learn the new system and then performed the conversion over a weekend so our downtime was very minimal. Paragon also dealt with the few issues we had very quickly so it was a very smooth transition.”

Paragon is a Microsoft® Gold ERP Partner that delivers prompt and reliable technical support and financial management system upgrades, including remote and “after-hours” conversions that generally take place over a weekend for very minimal or no interruption to the client’s day-to-day operations. These types of upgrades also generally take less time than on-site installs.
