Given the complexities of business technology, it can be difficult to distinguish one ERP vendor from another. We take pride in what makes Acumatica different: from our unique inception (being born this century in the cloud), to our exclusive focus on serving small and midsized businesses in specific industries, to our vibrant Community of partners, creators, and customers. Over the course of the past six months, through a series of blogs we called the Acumatica Difference series, we have shared eight significant ways our approach and practices differ by design from other ERP technology vendors and systems on the market. Discover for yourself the ways Acumatica is unique in the ERP market by checking out the following blogs:

Unlimited-user Licensing (July 16, 2024)

Unlimited-user licensing empowers businesses to let as many people as necessary—from employees and stakeholders to vendors and customers—access the system without paying additional per-seat licensing fees.

Complete Configurability (August 7, 2024)

All businesses that choose Acumatica have the ability to adapt and customize the system to fit their unique needs. Business process experts—who already know their company’s operations inside and out—can make changes to the system through the user interface, without developers.

An Open Platform (August 29, 2024)

The powerful, open Acumatica platform provides open APIs, a low-code/no-code framework, and streamlined mobility, so businesses can customize and scale their operations quickly.

Security and Availability (October 11, 2024)

Acumatica provides complete security and availability, with extensive password and login protections, role-based data access, regulatory compliance, 24/7 monitoring, and 99.9% uptime 24/7/365.

Your Data is Yours (October 21, 2024)

Acumatica strongly believes that every customer owns their own data, period. Unlike other ERP vendors, we will never establish roadblocks to data access or make it difficult to retrieve or restore information—because that information is yours, never ours.

Flexible Deployments (November 25, 2024)

Flexible deployment options empower customers to implement Acumatica Cloud ERP in the way that best suits their business processes—as a fully-managed cloud deployment, a fully-secure private cloud deployment, or a FastTrack or incremental deployment.

Honest, Transparent Pricing (December 11, 2024)

We are dedicated to providing predictable, transparent pricing—fostering trust and delivering measurable cost savings to our customers. We will never saddle users with hidden fees, unfair contracts, or long-term commitments.

Free Training and Access to Information (January 8, 2025)

The Acumatica Community is fundamentally an open channel of communication where Community members can learn, share thoughts and opinions, and shape future Acumatica innovations. And, through Acumatica Open University, users have access to always-free, self-directed training.

Community at Heart

All these things that set Acumatica apart from other ERP vendors are driven by our Customer Bill of Rights. We’re the first company in the business management technology market to codify and publicly set forth the basic rights customers should expect from their ERP vendor. With our commitment to responsible, honest business practices, we uphold those rights every day.

And, when all is said and done, after reading through each of these blogs, a common theme emerges. The Acumatica Difference can be boiled down to our customer-first approach, culture, and ethos.

Acumatica is different by design. We are built on the conviction that thriving small and midsize businesses are the heart of the modern digital economy. We are a thriving Community of partners, customers, and creators, who are invested in seeing tomorrow’s leading businesses grow on their terms. Together, we are driven to continuously seek out better ways to work, so we can redefine business management software, for everyone. That’s the Acumatica Difference.
