1. Which ERP is better? Acumatica vs s NetSuite.
Rupsha Dasgupta |
Since Oracle acquired NetSuite for $ 9.2B in November 2016, Roskill, Acumatica’s CEO is feeling very
bullish. He has every reason to feel that way. Beside many important factors, its unlimited user pricing is
stand out. It gives Acumatica’s potential customer’s significant advantage when accounting Total Cost
Ownership.
What are well established consulting companies like Gartner &
Nucleus who compare ERP companies saying?
Seth Lippincott, Analyst at Nucleus in its annual ERP Value Matrix, 2016 placed Acumatica as the leader
when compared other Enterprise Resource Planning Solution provider’s including NetSuite (Figure 1).
More specifically she stated: “Because of year to year increase in functionality in its solution, Acumatica
will continue to deliver value and positive return on investment similar to what it demonstrated this
year”.

What kind of companies have migrated from NetSuite to Acumatica?
Why?
Here are examples of companies that preferred Acumatica over NetSuite.
Pool Source, Nashville TN has this to say: “Both Acumatica and NetSuite offered SaaS solutions, but only
Acumatica offered a growth-friendly pricing structure with unlimited users as well as local support for
understanding requirements, implementation, and support.”
Quantum Group, Colfax, NC were frustrated with existing NetSuite ERP. They chose to replace NetSuite
with Acumatica. Reason! Going forward data like Advanced Financial Features is shared by multiple

2. users across multiple locations and across multiple corporate entities. Further unlike NetSuite “locked in
solution” the new ERP provided capability to implement upgrades incrementally.
Another eCommerce customer with significant year-over-year sales growth faced with an ongoing
challenge. They have to continuously retain and enhance brand affinity amongst “millennials” who are
always seeking the best alternative. President Ryan Schlachter, and Thomas Finney, Director of IT of
Shoebacca strongly believe they got the most out of Cloud Based Acumatica ERP. By expanding business
necessities from financials into logistics and then to their customer facing eCommerce platform.
Shoebacca now does all those things under one umbrella. They are able to connect different systems
seamlessly in a way that reinforces Roskill’s “multi-cloud” advocacy (powered by its xRP platform).

I’m sure Acumatica is very happy with the fact that doesn’t Shoebacca moved and replaced NetSuite;
the biggest competitor, and for now category leader with its first mover advantage. As mentioned
earlier like with another customer, Schlachter stated “Acumatica has inherent advantage with its
licensing structure. It allows us to grow faster and everybody across different departments uses
Acumatica except the janitorial team”.
What does the future hold for Acumatica?
Acumatica’s ample on hand cash gives them the ability to fuel growth. This includes strategic
investments in R&D and simultaneously expanding its global reach in sales with increasing partner value
added relationships (VAR). Since last round of funding in 2014, bringing the total to $30MM. Additional
needs are satisfied with cash is generated from operations combined with partnership deals with
German software vendor Lexware and an updated agreement with Visma in Northern Europe.
