It all started back in 1994.  SMB Suite was founded by CPAs who had a love for technology to serve the business software needs of clients throughout the US.  The principals of SMB Suite recognized the emerging market opportunity presented by the continuing adoption of internet delivered applications.  They leveraged their extensive experience with ERP solutions to become one of only a few companies worldwide to achieve the designation of Great Plains and later Microsoft Certified ASP (Application Service Provider).

SMB Suite’s history and experience as a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner earned their recognition of providing the industry’s first fully prepackaged, web based integrated solution before the term “Cloud” was ever coined.  Delivering web based ERP, CRM and productivity products since the 90’s, SMB Suite has added significant value to Microsoft’s pursuit of developing its number one priority – Cloud Based Computing, a Digital Transformation. 

In 2007, with the growing demand for Cloud alternatives to traditional software implementations, SMB Suite launched its All-Inclusive Cloud Subscription to address an existing gap in the Small to Medium segment for a complete “business in a box” online solution.  Developed and packaged from a combination of market studies, focus groups and the experience of SMB Suite’s senior team, SMB Suite was the first Cloud product that delivered a fully integrated Microsoft “stack” of business solutions and best practices methodologies in a per user, per month, all-inclusive monthly fee.

SMB Suite is the only cloud subscription for ERP and CRM that offers a 100% all-inclusive subscription.  Literally rolling in all costs (Implementation Services, Training, Licensing, Support, and Upgrades) into a predictable, fixed, monthly price. It makes it so easy to understand, and takes out all the risk that once was in the traditional model.

Over the years SMB Suite has received various Microsoft awards including the Pinnacle Award for Excellence in Technology, Marketing Excellence, Cloud ERP Partner of the Year,  North American ERP Partner of the Year, Worldwide Cloud Partner Finalist and Presidents Club.  They have also been invited to and currently sit on both the Microsoft US Partner Advisory Council and the World Wide Cloud Advisory Council.

Dedication to continue to reach far beyond the status quo to deliver an all-inclusive software package with unparalleled support is SMB Suite’s mission to make it easy, safe and affordable for a small to medium businesses to adopt!
