Acumatica Summit 2020 Deemed the Best Yet

Acumatica, the world’s fastest-growing cloud ERP company, opened its 2020 Summit to record-breaking attendance in Las Vegas last week with more than 2,500 customer, partner, media and analyst participants. Following multi-platinum icon Lizzo’s New Year’s Eve show at The Chelsea concert venue at The Cosmopolitan, Acumatica CEO Jon Roskill packed the same venue for the Summit keynote – don’t underestimate a tech event, people! This is more than a conference, it’s an experience.

The company celebrated its customer-centric culture highlighting customer of the year awards, product announcements and live demonstrations, an acquisition that is already shaking up the industry, and noteworthy partnerships and integrations, including but not limited to:

  • The improvement of Acumatica Manufacturing Edition, enabled by the acquisition of JAAS Systems, a complete end-to-end manufacturing solution for make-to-stock, make-to-order, engineer-to-order, project-centric, job shop, batch and repetitive manufacturing companies.
  • The release of a new Payroll module as part of Acumatica 2020R1, followed by an exclusive CFMA offer for prospective customers of Acumatica Construction Edition.
  • A strategic alliance with BDO, the international network of public accounting, tax, consulting and business advisory firms, to serve midmarket customers with exceptionally complex needs, large national or international requirements, and companies that value independence in their ERP selection or implementation process.
  • New integrations with Smartsheet and Adobe Document Cloud.
  • Customer of the Year Power Storage Solutions, an innovative power solution provider. Formed when Interstate Batteries spun off some divisions, the newly born company needed to extract data and processes from six solutions. It was able to combine them within a single Acumatica instance in a very short timescale. The company has now been live on their new system a little over a year.
  • Impact Customer of the Year Food Maven, selected for its socially conscious approach to bringing agility and flexibility to the U.S. food system.

A clear through line in Acumatica’s unique approach and reflected throughout the resulting coverage below is the company’s commitment to customer-friendly business practices.

“Acumatica is dedicated to helping our customers achieve digital transformation, said Acumatica CEO Jon Roskill. “The ways in which Cloud ERP technology can streamline operations and improve business efficiency are nothing short of exceptional, and Acumatica’s product is second to none.”

Customer-friendly business practices are not new for Acumatica. In fact, Roskill sees such a void in a customer-centric approach in the industry that he issued a challenge to other cloud ERP software vendors to fix their unscrupulous business practices. He believes customers should not have to lose sleep over additional costs limiting their growth.
