DESC:
- Acumatica was founded in 2008 by John Howell, Serguei Beloussov and Mike Chtchelkonogov, who worked at Parallels and brought six team members over with them. Many of the early leaders had backgrounds with Microsoft’s Solomon ERP system in the software reseller channel. In March 2022, Acumatica ushered in a new CEO, John Case who led Unify Square through its sale to Unisys in 2021. Prior to that Case held leadership roles for Microsoft Office 365, and Microsoft’s worldwide OEM division. It was acquired by private equity fund EQT Partners in 2019.
- 10K customers
- Acumatica is hosted on Amazon Web Services and runs on the Microsoft MySQL Server Database.
- All of Acumatica’s implementation and support activities are channeled through its partners
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
https://dynamics.microsoft.com/en-ca/business-central/overview/
Business Central is based on Dynamics NAV. Dynamics NAV was originally developed in the 1980s. Although many improvements have been made to NAV to run in the cloud as Business Central, at its core it still relies on old software techniques and architectures.

acumatica-vs-netsuite (from Oracle)
https://www.netsuite.com/portal/netsuite-vs-acumatica.shtml
ADV:
- NetSuite is better suited for growing businesses and offers international business, capabilities that Acumatica struggles with, including multi-subsidiary consolidation, multi-currency and multi-language capabilities and compliance with international taxes and regulations. NetSuite also makes building custom reports easier for everyday users who are not developers.
- NetSuite was the first cloud ERP system on the market.
- In 2016, NetSuite was acquired by Oracle for $9.3 billion, and the company is now run as a separate business unit within Oracle. Backed by Oracle, NetSuite was able to more quickly expand its international operations and open new data centers that use the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure(opens in new tab).
- 36K customers
- Most importantly, NetSuite is the preferred vendor for fast-growing businesses. NetSuite is built with real-time data entry, while Acumatica uses batch-based entry at the subledger level, which can make reporting difficult.
- NetSuite does offer some core accounting functionality that Acumatica does not. NetSuite allows customers to keep more than one book, referred to as multi-book accounting.
- CRM: NetSuite also offers a partner relationship management feature.
- SuitePeople HR provides capabilities for HR managers, employee self-service, workforce management, HR reporting and performance management.
- Reporting and Analytics. Both vendors also offer self-service reporting, but Acumatica is limited in the workflow and customization that can be done without users needing to write code. Moreover, Acumatica’s subledger architecture impacts reporting. Subledgers are a series of transactions grouped by type, such as accounts receivable or accounts payable. Because subledger architectures are designed to pull certain transaction types but leave others out, this creates reporting challenges.
Background
Established in 1998, NetSuite went public in 2007 and was acquired by Oracle in 2016. Written before many of the latest web technologies were standardized, Oracle NetSuite continues to be limited in their deployment options, their customization language, and their database export capabilities.
