Acumatica 2021 R2: Drive Innovation with a Robust Ecosystem – Acumatica Cloud ERP
Acumatica 2021 R2, Acumatica’s latest release, offers seamless personalization and boosts growth through best-in-class-functionality. It also drives innovation with help from our robust ecosystem.
Innovation (the introduction of new methods, ideas, or products) or the lack thereof can differentiate one cloud ERP vendor from another. ERP vendors who choose to maintain the status quo by championing their legacy solutions set themselves—and their customers—up for failure in the digital economy. Acumatica Cloud ERP doesn’t fall into this category. We provide two upgrades per year with our latest release, Acumatica 2021 R2, now available.
I’ve already reviewed the seamless personalization (modifying cloud ERP software to fit your business’ specific needs, making it relevant through ‘no code, low code’ capabilities) and the ability to boost growth with best-in-class functionality provided by Acumatica 2021 R2. Today, I’ll address how our latest release is driving innovation and the part our ecosystem plays in it.
Driving innovation within a “special” community
I can’t talk about innovation and our ecosystem without mentioning our annual Acumatica Summit. It’s been described as a “family reunion” where our customers, partners, and developers look forward to connecting with old friends and making new ones. Acumatica CEO Jon Roskill describes it further in his recent post on Acumatica Summit 2021.
“The Acumatica community is special. I know because I’ve spent time with similar communities, and the reunion-like atmosphere at Acumatica’s yearly technology conference is not replicated anywhere else,” he writes. “I know this connection has been heavily influenced by our customer-and-innovation-first mentality, which puts precedence on people and outcomes, not on processes.”
The need to push the cloud ERP envelope by constantly improving our products and embracing emerging technologies with the support of and feedback from the entire Acumatica ecosystem is required for the success of our ecosystem. Our ecosystem includes our valuable Acumatica ISVs and OEMs. They filled the Acumatica Summit 2021 Marketplace, exhibiting their innovative third-party applications.
Ben Bratland, Leader of Business Development at SPS Commerce, says this about exhibiting at Acumatica Summit 2021. “There is no better way to immerse yourself in the Acumatica ecosystem than by visiting the Acumatica Marketplace at the Summit. The Networking, Knowledge Sharing, and overall expertise that are on display at the Marketplace is worth the trip alone. Special thank you to Acumatica for the level of support they provide the VAR and ISV Community to help drive innovation and collaboration that ultimately leads to successful customers.”
This innovation and collaboration within the Acumatica ecosystem is a driving force behind each release, and Acumatica 2021 R2 is no exception.
