#Acumatica just got acquired by same UK firm that owns Sweeden-based IFS. I'm hoping this means they pitch the Acumatica product to the IFS customer base rather than the other way around https://t.co/rZ7NAVDn1K

I was hoping that we would hear a comment on the big Acumatica acquisition news today. @ajoyk says that the #Acumatica Developer Community played a big role in this. Acumatica keeps their brand and leadership team intact. #CloudxRPSummit pic.twitter.com/OTv9KoP0ed
