The decision you are actually making
Prove it first. Pay for the rest later.
You have outgrown canned Crystal Reports and the month-end Excel marathon. The traditional answer asks you to buy a perpetual license, train a power user on formula syntax, and pay maintenance for as long as you use it, all before your first report exists. There is a path that reverses the risk.
The asymmetry
One path asks for your money on faith. The other earns it.
Buy the license
Pay first, find out later.
A perpetual license up front, formula-syntax training for one power user, and 25 percent annual maintenance for as long as you use it. The purchase commits before a single report has proven the tool fits how your team actually works.
Adopt ACORiX
Prove it first, pay for the rest later.
You pay for one scoped onboarding engagement. The software itself is free until it has proven itself through three month-end closes on your own data. Commit once it has earned its place.
Why not just keep what we have
Staying put has a price too.
A read-only viewing seat on the old tools costs money every year just to see a report, and every colleague without one sees frozen snapshots. Report changes route through a consultant, at a real per-change cost, and most finance teams request more changes than they think. Hardcoded account ranges break silently when the chart of accounts changes. None of that shows up on an invoice, which is exactly why most companies have never added it up. The ACORiX Viewer is free for your whole organization, and reports keep tying out when your accounts change.
What makes it different
Deep in one ERP, then the next.
Deep in DELMIAworks first, not shallow everywhere.
ACORiX runs on DELMIAworks today, built on the parts of it that generic reporting tools skip: the two-level EPlant structure, per-plant fiscal calendars, and the IQMS schema underneath. That depth is the product. We add the next manufacturing ERP only once we can reach the same depth in it, one at a time, rather than shipping a thin connector that reads everyone's tables and understands no one's business.
Finance-grade access control.
Privileges follow how DELMIAworks is structured, so people report on exactly what they are entitled to and nothing else.
Reports that survive change.
ACORiX absorbs chart-of-accounts changes, so reports do not break silently.
A platform, not an endpoint.
What you set up for reporting today powers financial analysis, job costing, close automation, and agentic workflows as they ship. This is where reporting stops being the ceiling.
