Standing on The Chelsea Theater stage at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas for the first day of Acumatica Summit 2020, CEO Jon Roskill addressed nearly 2,300 attendees while thousands more watched via the live stream broadcast. He welcomed customers, partners, media, and analyst participants, reminding them that the Summit is “ground zero” for the global Acumatica community.
“We get together to watch how things go, how things grow, and have fun together—that’s what this Summit is all about,” he said.
Acumatica Summit 2020: Reflecting on 2019
For Acumatica, 2019 was a stellar year. Customer/partner success and innovation tied as our top priorities, fueling our commitment to make Acumatica’s cloud-based ERP solution the choice of midmarket companies who need to digitally transform their businesses. We are excited to share that we surpassed the 6,500 customer mark, and, as noted in the Day One Summit press release, we again achieved astonishing revenue growth, making this the 7th consecutive year we’ve led the industry.
Throughout the year, Acumatica received multiple awards, including PCMag Editor’s Choice Award for Best ERP Software, an “Excellent” rating, and 4.5-out-of-five stars. We set the standard for usability in the market, according to Nucleus Research’s ERP Technology Value Matrix 2019, and saw many positive customer reviews on G2.
“Those are reviews written by people like you about your experience day-to-day with Acumatica, and the fact that we’re emerging in that top right corner is something we’re proud of,” Jon said, referencing Acumatica’s position as a Momentum Leader in G2’s Fall 2019 Momentum Grid Report.
Additionally, the Fall 2019 reviews by Forbes, G2, and Gartner showed us that our users—along with leading research companies—view Acumatica’s combination of technology, customers, and value as a winning one. Public support from those same customers we are working hard to serve has pushed us to even greater heights.
And to celebrate our customers and partners, we named Power Storage Solutions Acumatica’s Customer of the Year and FoodMaven our Impact Customer of the Year. Each company acknowledged Acumatica’s adaptable platform, functionality, and customer emphasis as major reasons for their selecting Acumatica cloud ERP.
“The best part of our jobs is getting to see customers be successful with Acumatica,” Jon said.
