Acumatica Acquisition - IFS, EQT Partners

Acumatica Acquisition - IFS, EQT Partners - News from the Alps

I was on family vacation in Swiss Alps passing through the mountains when I saw my emails and social media messages hitting the feed.
Now I had a choice to enjoy the view of the mountains or read the big news of Acumatica acquisition, I choose the ERP mountain acquisition news, still capturing the beauty through my camera lens.

As I learnt more about IFS and EQT that strengthened my trust and quickly informed my team and started to congratulate Acumatica folks on Skype whom I know personally for last 20+ yrs for their commitment and putting a superior product out there.

Finally, the word of comfort from top executive at Acumatica was "Best is no management changes, All the same people will stay", such acquisitions bring lots of changes and retaining human talent and SME's is most important in this industry.

Acumatica, the fastest growing ERP Company and I knew they had 2 choices, to either get listed on NASDAQ or get acquired, and the later happened much quicker than I thought. I was hoping after Vegas Summit next yr they could be acquired or they needed another round of funding to keep it growing. The acquisition gives IFS and Acumatica space to grow and compete with big old boys club SAP, NetSuite, Sage etc.

All ISV/Partners might be involved in cross pollination of their solution, we are excited to see our plugin/extension for Print and Jewelry industry may find larger clients too.

We are excited to see the growth of Acumatica in last 10 yrs. with InfoSourcing being part of the channel last 6+ yrs and having built 3 great plugins/extensions using the xRP platform and we are planning to grow, we look forward to Acumatica Summit 2020 at Vegas and I'm positive it's going to be a win-win for all of us involved.

Here is a good analysis of this news from Tim Rodman

Acumatica Snapshots - Uploading and restoring large files

In Acumatica ERP, you can create company snapshots containing your company’s full or partial data. Snapshots that can be saved locally in the same database, or at a specified location. You can import and restore snapshot to another company, in this case test company, it's pretty handy tool very useful during implementations, customization and support/troubleshooting while you work with data. You will occasionally run into few technical issues with snapshots, the newer version now needs you to keep all users logged out and in maintenance mode to take snapshot, link to blog article here. Today we are going to discuss how to export and import snapshots which are larger in file size of above 1GB, this is not a limitation from Acumatica and more to do with constraint and default value set in IIS (Internet Information Server). IIS by default allows uploading of a file size of 1GB and it limits the upload process and it can be tweaked to upload upto 4 GB file size and that's...

One of the biggest concern of SaaS customers "Would my ERP go down? Or it may not be accessible due to internet connectivity or hacking or any other million reasons..."

Acumatica User Defined Fields/Values - UDF using attributes in 2018 R2

In 2018 R2 version Acumatica introduced new feature called "User Defined fields" in short UDF's. These fields allow users to configure existing document screens to capture custom data per document basis. New features like this really helps partner/customer to configure business workflow process, this capability built on a framework can now enhance existing documents like Sales order, purchase order or other document to collect custom data at transaction level using attributes. For more information on which documents/screens you can collect UDF's refer to Acumatica help In this example I have created few custom data that we would like to accept in our Print industry, this works pretty well with our Acumatica plugin PrintShop for Screen printing and embroidery companies, as business do accept different type of data and allows us to do minimal customizations.
