Running a growing mid-size business comes with unique challenges. You need to manage fluctuating costs, stay on top of compliance updates, and scale operations without adding massive administrative overhead.
If Acumatica had a single theme for 2023, it was “Community.” Every update, event, and milestone centered around helping you overcome these daily hurdles. We focused on delivering a cloud-based, mobile-enabled platform that breaks down data silos and supports your scalable growth.
Let’s look back at the major Acumatica 2023 milestones and explore what the future holds for our community.
Building the Future of Business, Together
We believe that great technology should not exist in a vacuum. It needs to solve real-world problems. Innovative cloud ERP software should empower you to navigate unexpected economic shifts and streamline your operations.
We base our product development on your direct feedback. By listening to our community, we develop capabilities that address your most pressing needs. This approach sparked our 2023 Rallying Cry: “Building the Future of Business, Together.”
This shared vision helps us deliver cost-effective solutions that unite our partners, developers, and customers. Thanks to this strong community, we expanded our partner ecosystem and welcomed many new customers in 2023. We also opened new offices in Sri Lanka and Serbia, and prepared for a move to a new Seattle-area office in 2024.
