Now about to start the Roadmap session which should include some demos. Nice! #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/FmJw8rRtxS

Over 50% of the new $25M investment will go into R&D. 50% of that will go into the platform. That's because Acumatica is a technology company, not a marketing company like Sage. That makes this platform priority list even more interesting. #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/lcfpMovEWL

Acumatica is already rethinking how to modernize their technology from 5-10 years ago. Always trying to stay current. #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/E8KZUyAEmy

As Acumatica continues to add customers, performance and scalability become more and more important #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/rCU5JDqlpy

I love to see this point about low code, no code customization #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/eYveoXnCAK

The best news of this entire summit is to see "improving reporting capabilities" make this list #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/zXP74t2QnU

I'm not exactly sure what eliminating web forms means, but it sounds like it would make the UI more modern #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/nCTjpwjzdE

BQL is a huge part of the Acumatica platform. Improving it to include LINQ would be a major improvement. #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/mvjaMhB0BD

Extension functionality introduced 2-3 years ago is unique to Acumatica. It allows customizations to survive upgrades better which is so important with a SaaS product. They want to improve this too. #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/Cubu1DMRHp
— Tim Rodman (@TimRodman) June 21, 2018
The SaaS environment monitoring has improved dramatically which allows Acumatica to identify what areas of the system cause the most performance problems, allowing issues to be resolved before the user even notices them #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/xjWadYCp49
— Tim Rodman (@TimRodman) June 21, 2018
Some of the Acuminator validation stuff will be making its way into the core validation routine which will help with performance of customizations #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/wQclPUEUDS
— Tim Rodman (@TimRodman) June 21, 2018
What other ERP company would list something like "inquiry delegates and query cache optimization" as a priority in a presentation?!? #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/f0PhkngfBJ
— Tim Rodman (@TimRodman) June 21, 2018
Sounds like Automation Steps will be getting a welcome makeover, making it a tool for consultants, not just developers. I love to hear that! #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/VBgOaOzMfS

More wizards and less programming coming in the new Automation Steps #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/I8mKtpxjMG

Also expect to see a graphical way to add fields to screens that can easily be reported on #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/Pzr3aosM8b

Per tenant customization will allow multiple customizations on the same site or instance #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/VciOhZh4pN

Sounds like the scripting customization layer will be like VBA in Excel, something for consultants, not just developers! #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/HavRjnv5aN

Looks like we'll get some demos of new reporting capabilities. Not surprising to see Generic Inquiries continuing to form the foundation of the reporting foundation. #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/B9pG6wxqyb

This is the current front-end architecture in Acumatica #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/3ipJ4xK6ql

This is what Acumatica wants the future front-end architecture to look like #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/jNFhKKvpNo

If I'm understanding this correctly, seems like they want to push more rendering work into the browser which makes sense because the web server can be a major bottle-neck, the dark side of web applications #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/I76wKDMFXg
— Tim Rodman (@TimRodman) June 21, 2018
This front-end change is MAJOR so it will need to be attacked one step at a time #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/xevzorNRNX

The timeline for the inject scripting customization layer is likely 1-2 years from now, but changes will come incrementally #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/nPsvOKs9YX

Now a new Pivot Table demo based on a large Generic Inquiry dataset #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/1MOWCr1n7s

You can quickly and easily create a pivot table from a generic inquiry #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/U188L3dt2h
— Tim Rodman (@TimRodman) June 21, 2018
The major pivot table change is that it doesn't have to be added to the Site Map. It's added as a tab on the top. #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/7Hlbl50t9n

There is discount logic scattered all over the Sales Order screen which is messy. Would be better to move it into an Extension. #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/XHwKIxof4y

Extensions will be used for Multicurrency in Acumatica 2018 R2 #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/Iw7E656fNp

Currency is on a lot of forms. Even though it's basically the same functionality, multiple code pieces need to be manually added to each form #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/VJWnsVfKjv
— Tim Rodman (@TimRodman) June 21, 2018
Now that Multicurrency functionality has been moved into an extension. You can even put a custom extension on top of it to override some behavior. #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/xWBmvBE9AD
— Tim Rodman (@TimRodman) June 21, 2018
The new currency extension was put in its own namespace so you can use it if you want, but you don't have to so it won't break existing customizations #AcumaticaDevSummit pic.twitter.com/akgzr9Km0b

These new extensions are ideal for new screens #AcumaticaDevSummit
