Acumatica Summit 2017 Day One Recap
The first full day of the Acumatica Summit came to a close and provided partners and customers with a lot of big news and demos of some cool new features. Here are some of the interesting items from the first day:
Acumatica 6 to Include Outlook Add-In
Acumatica’s Customer Management (CRM) suite has always been able to provide users with a complete view of their business. As part of a full suite of integrated business management applications (ERP), users can easily share information between marketing, sales, service and finance because the data all exists in one database. With the upcoming release Acumatica CRM has just gotten even better.

On July 28th Oracle announced plans to acquire NetSuite for $9.3 billion in cash. This didn’t come as a complete surprise as Larry Ellison, Oracle’s chairman, is the single largest shareholder of NetSuite and Oracle is aggressively trying to increase their cloud-based revenue. For NetSuite, a merger, in theory, could make sense for a company that has never made a GAAP profit in any quarter or year in its existence, and according to their last 10-k filing “may not achieve profitability in the future“.
Acumatica Releases Version 5.3
Acumatica unveiled the newest version of their cloud-based accounting and ERP software at their annual Summit for partner and customers. The new features in Acumatica 5.3 is focused on increasing the performance, stability and mobility of Acumatica 5.0, a full ERP suite that includes financials, distribution, account and CRM.

Setting up Project Accounting in Acumatica: Account Groups
There are many steps to consider when preparing to do project accounting in Acumatica. Perhaps one of the most important considerations is how to setup Account Groups. An Account Group is mapped to specific General Ledger accounts and is used to track project budget, expenses and revenue.
