What drew you to Acumatica software?
I think fate had a lot to do with it! I first got into Acumatica as an end user. The company that I worked for was a small subcontractor looking to make the change from QuickBooks to something more robust that could incorporate all aspects of the business. They interviewed multiple ERP platforms but ultimately landed with Acumatica due to how user friendly it was and the ability to streamline business processes.
I was a big part of the implementation team with involvement with almost all the modules, including finance, distribution, payroll, and construction. Witnessing the transformative impact Acumatica had on the operations sparked my interest and led me to explore further.
What drives Acumatica's growth and success? Are you looking forward to Acumatica's future?
I think one of the biggest reasons for Acumatica's success is that cloud-based solution provides scalability, flexibility, and accessibility to businesses of all sizes. On top of that, Acumatica values their partners and their customers a lot. The Acumatica community page is an awesome resource that users are able to reference that allows them to share new ideas that Acumatica is able to leverage when it comes to making enhancements to the system.
How many years have you been working in the Acumatica ecosystem?
I joined a VAR as an Acumatica Consultant back in June 2021. Over the course of 2.5 years, I had the opportunity to implement over 20 projects and upgrades. This ranged from simple to complicated business structures. This hands-on experience allowed me to develop a deeper understanding of Acumatica's capabilities and how it can be tailored to meet the diverse needs of businesses. Over the years, I have received numerous accolades as well as the 2024 Acumatica MVP award which recognizes my dedication to deliver exceptional results and drive success for our clients.
What is your favorite thing about helping customers implement and go live on Acumatica?
