NYC’s AKA Computer Consulting partners with open source leader xTuple

NORFOLK, VA

Software innovator and ERP veteran to deliver technology solutions for distributors and manufacturers in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania

xTuple, global leader in commercial open source business management software for growing companies, announces its partnership with AKA Computer Consulting, Inc., (AKA). xTuple and AKA together will deliver enterprise-level technology solutions to small- to medium-sized distributors and manufacturers in New York and New Jersey.

Experts at customizations to meet the unique needs of small- to medium-sized businesses (SMB), AKA focuses on delivering affordable, yet sophisticated, business management solutions. Areas of expertise include enterprise resource planning (ERP), accounting, eCommerce, customer relationship management (CRM) and point of sale (POS) solutions and network/IT services.

In business since 1995, AKA has a reputation for providing flexible and customizable ERP solutions for SMBs. Other solutions AKA has implemented include Accountmate, Infotrac, Act and Goldmine. AKA's extensive customer base includes companies from across the spectrum, including manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and import/export companies.

AKA president, Alex Kleyff, said "We only sell packages that we can customize. It is very difficult to sell a package that just does one thing without being able to change it, so that was one of our criteria for looking at xTuple. Their open source process is a very slick way of doing programming."

"xTuple brings the worlds of open source and ERP together with dedicated systems integrators, such as AKA, to solve the unmet needs of companies who want fully-integrated end-to-end software systems to improve their operational controls and profitability," said Ned Lilly, xTuple president and CEO.

Lilly continued, "When you own the source code, and you're a member of a huge global community of similar companies and partners using the software, your relationship with your vendor is substantially more in your favor."

Danielle Kerner, xTuple director of business development, added, "AKA's expertise in knowing how and when to customize software to support business goals makes them a natural fit with xTuple. We look forward to partnering with AKA to bring xTuple's enterprise-level solutions to the New York-New Jersey-Pennsylvania tri-state metro area."
