Bellevue, WA, June 5, 2018 – Acumatica, the fastest-growing cloud ERP company, today was recognized as a Visionary in Gartner’s May 2018 Magic Quadrant for Cloud Core Financial Management Suites for Midsize, Large and Global Enterprises.

July 26, 2018 10:52AM EST – Designed as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application, Acumatica delivers an excellent option for those needing a scalable financial and enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform. Acumatica is a well-balanced app featuring a modular architecture that targets ERP, general ledger accounting, and inventory management. Its browser-based user experience (UX) is excellent, with a feature-rich environment accessible via an intuitive user interface (UI). Its pricing model may confuse some users, but that possibility isn’t enough to keep us from giving Acumatica our Editors’ Choice award across all three of the aforementioned product categories.
