What drew you to Acumatica software?
After selling my Solomon Software (SL) practice in 2006, I worked briefly with enterprise ERP solutions and realized my skills and customer experience was better suited to mid-market. So in 2011 when I learned Acumatica, a new cloud-based ERP platform was based on SL I jumped at the opportunity to go to work for Ali Jani at Acumatica.
What drives Acumatica's growth and success? Are you looking forward to Acumatica's future?
In the early years of Acumatica, the SL channel partners were the first adopters. They saw an opportunity to rapidly shift their practices from aging technology to a more future-proof solution. The fact that Acumatica ERP functionality was based on SL meant these partners were able to get up to speed quickly and in many cases move SL clients to the new cloud-based platform.
How many years have you been working in the Acumatica ecosystem?
My background in finance began in the 90’s when I worked as a controller for a general contractor building apartments in the Pacific NW, where I also did my first ERP implementation. I went to work for Acumatica about 12 years ago and have been working with Acumatica partners and customers ever since.
What is your favorite feature set in the software?
I’m super excited about the construction edition. Acumatica has been investing in this industry consistently with each new release, twice a year. Some of the features, like the WIP report, are really ground-breaking for construction businesses.
