We said it last year, and we’re saying it again. This year’s Acumatica Summit was the biggest yet. More than 1,100+ attendees, including our team, descended on Acumatica Summit 2018 in Nashville, TN and were treated to a Keynote from Acumatica CEO Jon Roskill, demos of upcoming releases, informational sessions and more. This year was even more special because it marked Acumatica’s 10-year anniversary!
Acumatica was founded in 2008 by five or six Parallels employees who had been developing a next-generation billing solution. Eventually, they realized the technology they had been developing was well-suited for the ERP market, split from Parallels and founded Acumatica to focus on developing their native cloud ERP system.
Between Acumatica’s inception in 2008 and 2010, its founders began to develop the platform. The original billing system they created became its financial management module. In 2010 their first customer became Parallels, the company they had left just two years earlier.
In 2012, Acumatica signed its first OEM agreement with VISMA.net and then they moved their HQ to Seattle in 2013. In 2014, Jon Roskill became CEO of Acumatica. By 2015, they had over 1,000 customers and in 2016, Acumatica added to their growing portfolio by acquiring M5-Software, allowing them to focus on solutions for companies in the service industries.
During the opening Keynote, Acumatica CEO Jon Roskill informed more than 1,000 attendees that Acumatica had a stellar year of growth. He went on to rattle off some statistics to back up his statement.
In 2017, Acumatica:
During the opening Keynote, Jon Roskill reiterated Acumatica’s commitment to continually improve their platform and products, support partners, and provide customers with a true Cloud ERP solution that will grow and adapt to their individual needs.

They highlighted some of the recently added features in Acumatica 2017 R2 and introduced some upcoming features in Acumatica 2018 R1.
