Acumatica 2018 R2 Roadshow – Columbus, Ohio

by

Today I attended the Acumatica 2018 R2 Roadshow here in Columbus, Ohio. Here are my notes from the presentation showing new features in Acumatica 2018 R2.

This year, the Acumatica 2018 R2 Roadshow in Columbus was at the Sheraton in Capital Square, directly across the street from the state capitol building.

Those who stayed at the hotel would have had a view like this:

I had wanted to bike like I did to the Acumatica 2017 R2 Roadshow last year (click here), but my Fall allergies decided that would be a bad idea. So I drove instead and spent a fortune for downtown parking.

It was good to see a lot of familiar faces and friends. Columbus has become an important location for Acumatica. There are several partners in the area, the JAMS Manufacturing solution is headquartered here, Acumatica has a support/services office located here, and Columbus is close to a lot of Midwest Distribution and Manufacturing companies which Acumatica is a great fit for.

Columbus was actually the smallest metro area of any of the Acumatica Roadshow 2018 cities. I grabbed the list of Acumatica Roadshow 2018 events (click here) and then populated the metro area for each event according to this Wikipedia article (click here). You can see that Columbus is the smallest based on 2017 Estimate.

But Columbus ranks right in the middle by population growth between 2010 and 2017 even though it ranks the smallest by metro area. That fits well with Acumatica. Acumatica might not be the largest player in the market, but it’s growing fast.

The official presentation portion of the event went from about 12:30pm to about 3:00pm and included demos of Acumatica 2018 R2, a partner spotlight, ISV spotlights, and an analyst session with Cindy Jutras.

I took notes from the Acumatica 2018 R2 demo portion. And I took them on Twitter as usual.

Here I have collected all of my tweets together so we have them in one place. Enjoy!
