Acumatica, founded in 2008,[1] is a technology provider that develops adaptable cloud- and browser-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) software designed to improve productivity of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). The company is headquartered in the Seattle metropolitan area and has a number of satellite offices around the globe.[2]

Product

Acumatica's web-based ERP applications are built on top of its internally developed platform. The server software can be deployed on-premises, hosted in a data center, or run on a cloud-computing platform. The software can be licensed or purchased as a SaaS solution.[3][4] Acumatica CEO Jon Roskill told Nucleus Research that the company will continue to expand horizontal functionality while channel partners continue to develop vertical extensions to the product line.[5] Acumatica sells the following suites:

Unlike its competitors, Acumatica sells its products exclusively through partners.[6]

Operating environment

Acumatica's SaaS offering runs on Windows Azure and SQL Azure.[3] Acumatica's licensed software runs on a Microsoft Windows Server with a Microsoft SQL database. Applications run as .NET managed code.[7]

History

In November 2008, Acumatica launched its first product, Acumatica ERP, alongside an accompanying financial demo. In the following year, on-premises and SaaS software versions were released. Acumatica's distribution software came a year later in April 2010.

Acumatica received an investment from Visma in September 2011.[8]

In September 2012, former Microsoft General Manager and Worldwide SMB Sales & Marketing Operations Executive Yury Larichev joined Acumatica as its new Chief Operating Officer.[9] Larichev became the company's Chief Executive Officer at the onset of 2013, soon after the company moved its headquarters to Kirkland, WA.[10][11]

In early 2013, Acumatica appointed Christian Lindberg as VP of Partner Solutions.[12] In March of the same year, Acumatica launched version 4.0 of its ERP suite, which introduced a new user interface as well as Acumatica Studio for ERP app development.[13] The product launched in Asia 2 months later alongside the appointment of Erwan Philippe as the Asia General Manager.[14][15] Jeff Wilson also joined the Acumatica team as Chief Financial Officer during this time.[16]

In March 2014, former Microsoft VP Jon Roskill was named Acumatica's new CEO.[17] Acumatica launched its xRP Cloud Platform 2 months later.[18] In the fall of 2014, Acumatica released the beta version of its new suite, Acumatica 5.0.[19] Around the same time, Acumatica secured over $13 million in funding in an effort led by MYOB.[20]

Awards and recognition

In 2012, Acumatica was named a Top 100 Global Finalist by Red Herring[21] and number 1 in the Top 20 Coolest Cloud Vendors by CRN.[22] Gleanster also labeled Acumatica the best SMB CRM suite in all four of its categories: Ease of Deployment, Ease of Use, Features/Functionality, and Overall Value.[23]

In 2013, Acumatica was named one of CRN’s “20 Coolest Cloud Software Vendors of the Cloud” for “solid growth throughout 2012” and its “ability to offer ERP in a SaaS model or hosted on-premises” in a data center or the cloud.[24] Acumatica was a finalist for the 2013 SIIA Software CODiE Awards for Best Supply Chain Management Solution,[25] and it was also recognized as one of the top 50 Russian start-ups of the year.[26]

In 2014, Acumatica won a Gold Stevie in the "New Product or Service of the Year" category for its Cloud Platform.[27] Acumatica was awarded a SIIA Software CODiE Award in May of the same year for Best Supply Chain Management Solution.[28]

Technology Evaluation Centers has publicly recognized the company, stating that "Old and new ERP establishments should watch out for Acumatica . . . Acumatica’s offerings give both new and old ERP software vendors a run for their money."[29]
