What is Perryman & Associates (perryman-sw.com)?

Updated

Perryman & Associates is a business software and services firm that has worked with clients since 1993. It represents and supports Acumatica and Sage accounting/ERP products, develops its own LightWork employee-management software, and provides managed services and Sage Cloud Hosting — with a stated focus on small-to-mid-sized businesses. If you are evaluating ERP, accounting, HR, or workforce-management options and want a vendor that both resells and supports the software, this page explains what the company offers and how to decide whether to contact them.

What the company does

Perryman & Associates positions itself around "nurturing personal and professional growth," but its practical offering is a portfolio of business systems plus the support to run them. Its own site groups the work into three areas:

  • ERP and accounting software — it represents and supports Acumatica and Acumatica Payroll, described as an intuitive Cloud ERP system intended to power a whole business.
  • Sage product line — it represents and supports several Sage products, including Sage 100, Sage 300, Sage Fixed Assets, and Sage HRMS.
  • Its own software — LightWork, developed in-house, provides employee-management modules such as time tracking and performance management.

On top of the software, the company describes itself as a provider for small-to-mid-sized businesses, including managed services and Sage Cloud Hosting.

How to tell whether it fits your situation

The site frames the decision around three needs: managing your workforce, streamlining operational and financial accounting systems, or protecting company data. Match those against your own gaps:

  • If you need one cloud ERP spanning finance and operations, the Acumatica line is the relevant starting point.
  • If you already run Sage and want continued support or a move to hosted deployment, the Sage products and Sage Cloud Hosting are the relevant options.
  • If your main gap is workforce management — time tracking, performance reviews — LightWork is the in-house option.
  • If you lack internal staff to run any of the above, the managed services offering is the piece to ask about.

Getting in touch

The site's contact path is a form: you fill it out and the company says it will reach out with more information. There is no published pricing, product tier, or self-service signup described on the page, so cost and terms would need to come from that conversation. Before contacting them, it helps to have ready: which system you currently use, how many users or employees are involved, and whether you want software, hosting, support, or a combination.
