Advocate Moves Financials to the Cloud with Intacct ERP
Atlanta, GA – August 19, 2015 – 
InCloud360, a leading management, technology consulting and technology services company announced that the firm implemented Intacct’s best-in-class cloud ERP for Advocate, a global IT consulting and managed service firm that helps companies transform and optimize their cloud and connectivity infrastructure.

“With Intacct, we are able to get the visibility to make the right financial decisions in real-time to run our business more efficiently.”
– Mike McMahon, VP of Finance, Advocate
