It has been almost a year since I started this blog and I wanted to revisit what I mean and what I don't mean by the PAL acronym (Perpetual Acumatica Learner). PAL My first post on the topic of PAL (I called it APAL at the time) was mainly to describe the difference between a learner and an expert. However, recently I was feeling pressure from the word "perpetual" because I haven't been spending enough time to learn Acumatica. I was beginning to think that I shouldn't call myself a Perpetual … [Read more...]

Sergei has a nice post up on geeky hardware recommendations. This is especially useful if you are running Acumatica on-premise. http://blog.acumatica.com.sg/2014/03/recommendations-based-on-resource-level.html … [Read more...]
Future of Cloud ERP?
Here is a good article pointing out that the cloud hype hasn't reached the ERP world yet and maybe never will. Acumatica is positioned for this by allowing their customers to buy and host Acumatica on-premise. NetSuite, on the other hand, only allows the SaaS option. http://panorama-consulting.com/what-is-the-surprising-future-of-cloud-erp/ This reminds me of the Western Digital commercial that I posted a link to a few months … [Read more...]

Jon Roskill Open Invitation
Jon Roskill, the new CEO at Acumatica, posted something on the Acumatica website: http://www.acumatica.com/blog/an-open-invitation-from-jon-roskill-why-i-joined-acumatica There are two things that he said which stood out to me that I completely agree with and have noticed about Acumatica since I have been following it for about a year now: … [Read more...]
Looking to the Future
This week I put together a document called Case For Ending Sage 500 Maintenance (click the link to see the PDF document). My company currently pays a very sizable sum of money every year to Sage for the privilege of upgrading to the latest version of Sage 500 ERP. In recent years, however, it has become apparent that this money would be better spent on other things. In contrast, each new version of Acumatica is providing substantial new features. Even the upcoming release of the lowly … [Read more...]
Customer Portal
It looks like Acumatica will be adding a customer portal: http://web.archive.org/web/20140404223740/http://www.acumatica.com:80/blog/customer-lifecycle-management-in-acumatica This is good news. Customers will now have access to Acumatica University which has become a great repository of Acumatica learning material. Also, this is another logical step in the direction of Acumatica becoming an ERP provider that is here to stay. … [Read more...]
Custom Explore Query
One of my favorite features in Sage 500 is Business Insights Explorer. Recently though, I was pleased to discover that Acumatica has a similar feature. Each module in Acumatica has an Explore section in the Work Area area. For example, in the Accounts Payable module, there are five menu options available in the Explore section: Vendor Summary, Vendor Details, Bills Pending Payments, Checking Pending Printing, and 1099 Year Summary. However, you have the option to add your own menu options … [Read more...]
Positioned for a cloud burst?
It seems like everything that we hear about these days in the IT arena is focused on the cloud. Of course, Acumatica can be run in the cloud and even was the first ERP application to be available for the Windows Azure cloud. However, I think that we will see the cloud burst at some point, or at least have a hole punched in it. Why? People still own houses and cars. We don't all rent and we don't all lease our cars. If you have a long-term view, there is an economic advantage to owning a … [Read more...]
iPhone ERP Learning
One of the reasons that I like posting videos that are zoomed in (rather than showing my entire computer monitor) is that I like consuming content on my iPhone while I'm on the go. I like listening to the Tech Tuesday series on the Acumatica University site, but I don't like that the video portion is showing the full screen of a computer monitor because it makes it impossible to watch on my iPhone. In the case of Tech Tuesdays, I don't think there is an alternative because they need to show the … [Read more...]
