Executive Summary
Acumatica is a web-based financial and business management system that improves the productivity of your
organization. The software runs on servers in your private network or hosted on the Internet so it can be used
from anywhere.
Acumatica can be used by small companies with specialized requirements, or it can be used in multi-entity
organizations with thousands of employees in many countries and currencies. Acumatica provides a robust
set of core financial, business, and CRM features that can be used in any industry.

Top ways Acumatica will improve your business:
•

Centralize business process automation. Acumatica includes a full suite of enterprise class
business applications that are integrated with a document management system so all information is
located in one place. Advanced access controls allow only authorized individuals or teams to view,
edit, approve, or delete information.

•

Involve everybody. Acumatica is web-based and priced by server, so everybody can use it.
Salespeople can use it to view tasks, opportunities, and data for their particular accounts. Regional
office managers can view GL sub-accounts for their regions. Investors can be informed through
dashboards and read-only screens. Temporary workers can be granted secure access for a few hours
or days. All employees can use it to submit timesheets and expenses.

•

Individually managed, centrally controlled. Intuitive dashboards and screen customization tools let
individuals tailor the system to their needs using only a web browser. Centralized auditing, workflow,
and administration of access rights is easily done by non-technical individuals.

•

Works the way you work. Acumatica works with any popular browser, so you can use Windows,
Apple, or Linux computers as well as handheld devices to access critical business information.
Software developers can use Acumatica Studio to customize applications or build new applications
inside Microsoft Visual Studio.

Top reasons that Acumatica is cost effective:
•

You control the software. You can deploy Acumatica in your own datacenter or on a standard
windows hosting plan offered by hosting and cloud computing providers. You are not locked in, as
your needs change because you can change your deployment option.

•

No client software. Rapidly deploy new users, including remote workers and home workers.
Eliminate the cost of maintaining client software.

•

Consolidate operations. Acumatica allows you to deploy a single system for use by your entire
organization. This eliminates the cost of maintaining systems in multiple locations.

•

Designed for the future. Acumatica uses industry standard platforms and development tools like
Microsoft .NET, SQL Server, and Visual Studio. This allows you to find expertise to customize your
applications and run your application on standard platforms.

Web-Based Technology—The Platform
Acumatica began creating a platform for the rapid development of highly available, web-based applications in
2004. Unlike traditional client-server platforms, Acumatica was designed to operate without installing any
files or components on the client computer. The platform was built to manage complexities such as slow and
unreliable Internet connections while allowing high levels of performance and multi-tenant architectures.
Security concerns were addressed by implementing strong user authentication, auditing, encryption, and
server-based validation logic.

Figure 1 - Acumatica Component Structure
Figure 1 illustrates the platform component structure. The System Foundation Layer isolates programmers
from the complexities related to coding a web application. The Application Foundation Layer provides readyto-use components that allow programmers to focus on business logic. The Application Layer separates data
access, business logic, and presentation logic. Access to the business logic can be managed via the
presentation logic or web services.

PLATFORM BENEFITS
Rapid customization. Built-in web-based customization tools allow you to change the appearance of screens,
the business logic, and the database fields. Customizations are stored separately from the core application
code so they can be easily exported. In addition, updates and upgrades to the core application do not impact
any existing customizations.
Rapid development. New modules can be developed inside Microsoft Visual Studio without worrying about
HTML, CSS, HTTP, and JavaScript. The core features that Acumatica developers used to create all Acumatica
modules are available to value-added resellers and ISVs so your application can be customized and improved
as your needs change.
Easy to maintain. All customizations are stored in the database so you can backup your code changes and
data with a single backup process. Since there is no client software to maintain, backups are managed
centrally.
Multi-tier architecture. User Interface (UI) elements are completely separate from business logic, which is
separated from the database access layer and the database itself.
Integration with external systems. All application logic available through Acumatica screens can also be
accessed using a generic Web Services API (Application Programming Interface) based on SOAP and WSDL.
The API invokes the same security mechanisms and access rights to allow data migration, extraction of
information for reporting, and integration with external systems.
Database agnostic. Acumatica is optimized for Microsoft SQL Server, but the technology allows for storing of
data in alternate databases like Oracle and MySQL.

Improving Your Business
Acumatica is unique because it is web-based, yet the server can be installed anywhere so that you remain in
control of your software. The software is priced by server core so you can involve everybody in your
organization—even if they only log in once a month to submit an expense report.
This architecture provides several benefits over client-server and pure SaaS models. These benefits are
discussed in the following sections.

CENTRALIZED BUSINESS PROCESS AUTOMATION
Acumatica includes an integrated set of enterprise class financial, distribution, project accounting, customer
management, and manufacturing applications. These applications share a common relational database so
data is shared in real-time among all applications, dashboards, and the reporting engine.
An integrated content
management system enables
you to keep business plans,
policies, forecasts, and
procedures online and
associate them with financial
transactions to deliver a
complete view of your
business. Advanced access
controls enable people inside
and outside your organization
to use the system.
The result is lifecycle process
automation involving all
aspects of your business.
People, documents, materials,
and processes are organized
and coordinated by business
rules that you establish.
By consolidating these items into a cloud system, your business will gain the following benefits:
•

Simplified auditing – documents, notes, receipts, and contracts are attached directly to business
documents so auditors can obtain relevant content from a single location. Auditors can be granted
temporary access to specific GL accounts, reports, documents, and screens.

•

Customer lifecycle management – data and documents are linked to customers throughout their
history. Leads can be acquired through a web form, assigned to salespeople, converted to
customers, and managed according to company policies. During that period, marketing, sales,
customer service, finance, and other departments all have access to consistent information.

•

Accurate forecasting and budgeting – centralized storage provides up-to-date data to ensure accurate
budgeting and planning. The ability to integrate different people (marketing, sales, finance), different
applications (CRM, ERP), and different documents (sales forecasts, marketing plans, budgets,
financial results) improves the forecasting process.

PAGE 6
•

Better reporting – integrated reporting tools provide on-demand reports. Reports can easily be
created using either Acumatica web-based report writer or Acumatica’s desktop visual reporting
application. Once created, reports can be registered and made available to authorized users. Inquiry
screens provide “drill down” capabilities so you can locate documentation related to the transaction.

INVOLVE EVERYBODY
Acumatica is web-based and priced by the server core, so everybody can use it. Role-based security lets you
control which users have access to exactly what data. A user’s access rights can be limited to specific
documents, general ledger accounts, customers, vendors, and specific wiki articles. As the Internet has
proven, the value of a system is proportional to the number of people who use it.
The table below summarizes some of the types of users that will benefit:

USER TYPE

WHY ACUMATICA?

BENEFITS AND APPLICATIONS

Remote and
mobile workers

Acumatica requires no client software or VPN
and it doesn’t store data on the local computer,
so IT maintenance and security concerns are
minimized.

Workers can access key financial and customer
management applications from a home office, a
remote office, while traveling, or during
inclement weather.

Infrequent
users

Acumatica’s server-based pricing and zero
desktop overhead allow you to license people
who use a system once or twice a month.

Submit expense reports, approve documents,
approve budgets, and view reports that would
not otherwise be available.

Investors,
advisors

Document-level access controls and audit trails
enable you to provide access to specific data,
dashboards, reports, and documents in readonly mode.

Investors and advisors can stay informed and
up-to-date regarding financial results and
business plans. Non-public documents can be
shared with specific individuals.

Temporary
workers

External bookkeepers, auditors, accountants,
customer service personnel, seasonal workers,
tax preparers, and others can be granted access
for limited periods of time.

Temporary workers are more productive
because they can get the information that they
need without installing software or driving to a
central location.

Customers
and vendor

Acumatica makes adding users with limited
access rights easy. In a few seconds, you can
provide customers and vendors to specific
reports within the system.

Customers can check order and delivery status
on demand using a browser. This reduces
customer service costs while improving service.
Vendors can submit quotes online to streamline
price quotes.

As more and more users join the system, opportunities for collaboration and efficient information sharing
increase. The amount of data circulated over email will decrease and customers will always have access to
the latest documents.

EXAMPLE: TIME REPORTING AND EXPENSE CLAIMS
Problem: Frequently companies hire a person to enter timesheets or expense reports into their ERP
system to avoid purchasing extra software licenses and installing software on every employee’s
computer. This creates extra work because data has to be entered twice (once on the employee’s
computer and once more in the accounting system) and additional confusion because people have to
email documents to the order entry person and verify that claims have been processed.
Solution: Acumatica solves both problems by eliminating user-based licensing and providing a system
that can be accessed using any popular web-browser. Employees from around the world can enter
expense claims and timesheets which can be coded and approved without re-keying or email.

INDIVIDUALLY MANAGED, CENTRALLY CONTROLLED
Individual users can customize their dashboards to get the information they need quickly in graphical, chart,
or document format. For example:
•

Salespeople may elect to include tasks, opportunities, leads, business accounts in their dashboard
along with graphs that show how they are performing against their quota.

•

Marketing may include lead statistics, campaigns, conversion rate reports, and personal tasks in
their dashboard.

•

Finance may elect to build a dashboard with revenues, expenses, overdue invoices, and accounts
referred to collections.

Each user can use the web-based interface to quickly build a customized dashboard without technical
assistance by pointing and clicking in their browser. Tasks, leads, and opportunities are automatically
customized to present individuals with the accounts and jobs that are relevant for them.
Acumatica allows managers to establish
teams and approval routes for managing
work. Each approval route can generate
and assign tasks and monitor wait times
to ensure that processes are being
completed on schedule. Managers can
assign tasks to others and receive follow
up reminders.
Centralized control of information is
critical for a web-based system.
Acumatica allows administrators to set
restrictions by object, role, or group.
Once restrictions are set, they apply to
screens, reports, and anywhere else the
object may be requested.

PAGE 8
Acumatica’s unique combination of security and web-based access enables you to provide secure access to
information while at the same time controlling it.

CENTRALIZED SECURITY
Acumatica was designed as a web-application. As
such, Acumatica is suspicious of all data coming
from a web browser and therefore performs all
verification and validation steps at the server. Data
is encrypted during transmission using techniques
employed by modern banking and healthcare
systems.

Figure 2 - Restriction Groups provide centralized control

All application data is centrally stored and encrypted
to provide a secure environment for confidential and
sensitive data. Client-server systems and PC-based
systems often rely on device security. Unfortunately,
devices often travel with the user into unsecure
environments and can be lost, stolen, or recycled
without erasing the hard drive.
Acumatica provides the option to store your
confidential data in your facility or at a hosting
provider that you select. This choice allows you to
select the level of security that you require.

WORKS THE WAY YOU WORK
Acumatica works with any popular browser, so you can use devices running Windows, Mac OS, Linux,
Android, or other operating system to access critical business information.
Acumatica is tested with Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Apple Safari.

Budgeting also becomes easier as people who are
responsible for specific budgets have access to
them, while budgets of other organizations and
business units are kept confidential.

USA Purchasing

For example, salespersons can be limited to viewing and reporting on just the data for their customers while
a finance manager at a regional office may be limited to viewing the General Ledger sub-accounts for his
region. Dashboards, menus and data entry forms automatically adjust to show only authorized functions and
fields.

Features and Functions

Traditionally, software buyers had to choose between
inexpensive PC-based solutions which offer little
functionality and client-server applications which
offered additional features but were expensive to
implement and maintain. The advent of SaaS
provided solutions which have more features than
PC-based products and are easier to implement than
client-server. But, SaaS solutions can be expensive in
the long term if you purchase a SaaS solution and
are locked into a single datacenter or deployment
model.

Figure 3 - Companies Prefer Different Deployment Models

Acumatica allows you to control where you deploy your software so you can deploy it cost effectively. Most
importantly, Acumatica is flexible so you can change your deployment model as your needs change.
We agree with Ray Wang and other analysts who say the decision to purchase an application as a service
(SaaS), or to run it on your own servers, or at a hosting or cloud services company, depends on a variety of
economic and other factors including the number of locations, the number of users, bandwidth availability,
security requirements, cultural factors, and corporate and government regulations. For most organizations
these factors also vary over time, so what works for today may not be right for tomorrow. With Acumatica
you can start with one deployment model and then switch to another as your needs change.
On premise deployment: if you have a large, under-utilized datacenter, you may benefit by deploying the
application on spare hardware in your own datacenter. For example, if you have virtualized several servers
recently and have spare hardware – an on-premise deployment may be cost effective.
Hosted deployment: if you have short term capital constraints or do not want to invest in IT personnel to
maintain and backup your financial solution, you may benefit by hosting the solution in a full-service
datacenter.
Cloud services deployment: if your use of the application will be light during the initial implementation, you
may benefit by deploying Acumatica on Cloud hosting services such as those offered by GoGrid, Amazon
EC2, and Microsoft Azure. These platforms allow you to pay for only the resources that you use to keep costs
low as you are growing.

NO CLIENT SOFTWARE
Acumatica is web-based so it can be accessed from anywhere without the cost of installing client software or
VPN software. You can access 100% of your application functionality, including customizations, using any
popular browser.

WWW.ACUMATICA.COM  © Copyright 2013 Acumatica

PAGE 11
This saves your company money on PC maintenance because there is no additional cost to install, maintain,
and repair client software. The web browser that you use to access Acumatica is already installed and paid
for.
•

Average cost of installing an application: $50 / client

•

Average cost of maintaining an application: $100 / client / year

When individuals upgrade to a new computer, all individual dashboards, favorites, filters, and reports are
automatically transferred because these settings are stored on the server. This eliminates costs associated
with migrating data and re-configuring user preferences.
Cost savings can be even higher for individuals in remote offices who do not have access to an IT person.
Figure shows the total cost of ownership over five years when using Acumatica versus pay-by-user and
client-server solutions.
Key assumptions include the cost of
hardware ($25,000), support for client server (1 IT person per 100 users), Acumatica hosting cost ($2,400 per
year plus an additional amount per user), monthly SaaS cost ($80 per user), and software licensing costs.
Acumatica provides several cost benefits because there is no client software to maintain and it is easy to
maintain on standard Windows
hosting plans.
$1,000,000

CONSOLIDATE OPERATIONS
A single instance of Acumatica can
scale to support an organization with
multiple offices in multiple countries.
This allows you to manage all of your
IT operations from a single location or
datacenter so you can save money on
operational expenses.
For a company with 5 different
locations, these operational savings
can be over $100,000 if you include
hardware, software, and IT expenses.
This doesn’t include the time that is
saved from people not being able to
work while their PC is being updated.

Acumatica’s technology provides unique advantages for companies who want to consolidate operations
across multiple offices or subsidiaries.
•

Works over unreliable network connections – remote users receive nearly the same experience as
users who are co-located with the Acumatica server. This allows you to deploy only one system
instead of multiple servers in multiple locations.

•

No client software required – since Acumatica works with any common browser and does not
require a VPN, there is no need to deploy application or system experts in remote offices.

•

Scalable – you can easily add application servers to an existing deployment to handle increased
workloads.

•

Robust access controls – role based security allows you to control the information that can be
accessed from different locations.

•

Advanced financial features – a single system can manage different currencies, languages, tax
logic, reporting requirements, and more so the consolidation does not impact local business
requirements.

•

Customized reporting – flexible account and subaccount codes allow users to get information that
they need that is customized for their particular location.

  • 2. Executive Summary Acumatica is a web-based financial and business management system that improves the productivity of your organization. The software runs on servers in your private network or hosted on the Internet so it can be used from anywhere. Acumatica can be used by small companies with specialized requirements, or it can be used in multi-entity organizations with thousands of employees in many countries and currencies. Acumatica provides a robust set of core financial, business, and CRM features that can be used in any industry. Top ways Acumatica will improve your business: • Centralize business process automation. Acumatica includes a full suite of enterprise class business applications that are integrated with a document management system so all information is located in one place. Advanced access controls allow only authorized individuals or teams to view, edit, approve, or delete information. • Involve everybody. Acumatica is web-based and priced by server, so everybody can use it. Salespeople can use it to view tasks, opportunities, and data for their particular accounts. Regional office managers can view GL sub-accounts for their regions. Investors can be informed through dashboards and read-only screens. Temporary workers can be granted secure access for a few hours or days. All employees can use it to submit timesheets and expenses. • Individually managed, centrally controlled. Intuitive dashboards and screen customization tools let individuals tailor the system to their needs using only a web browser. Centralized auditing, workflow, and administration of access rights is easily done by non-technical individuals. • Works the way you work. Acumatica works with any popular browser, so you can use Windows, Apple, or Linux computers as well as handheld devices to access critical business information. Software developers can use Acumatica Studio to customize applications or build new applications inside Microsoft Visual Studio. Top reasons that Acumatica is cost effective: • You control the software. You can deploy Acumatica in your own datacenter or on a standard windows hosting plan offered by hosting and cloud computing providers. You are not locked in, as your needs change because you can change your deployment option. • No client software. Rapidly deploy new users, including remote workers and home workers. Eliminate the cost of maintaining client software. • Consolidate operations. Acumatica allows you to deploy a single system for use by your entire organization. This eliminates the cost of maintaining systems in multiple locations. • Designed for the future. Acumatica uses industry standard platforms and development tools like Microsoft .NET, SQL Server, and Visual Studio. This allows you to find expertise to customize your applications and run your application on standard platforms. WWW.ACUMATICA.COM  © Copyright 2013 Acumatica PAGE 3
  • 3. Web-Based Technology—The Platform Acumatica began creating a platform for the rapid development of highly available, web-based applications in 2004. Unlike traditional client-server platforms, Acumatica was designed to operate without installing any files or components on the client computer. The platform was built to manage complexities such as slow and unreliable Internet connections while allowing high levels of performance and multi-tenant architectures. Security concerns were addressed by implementing strong user authentication, auditing, encryption, and server-based validation logic. Figure 1 - Acumatica Component Structure Figure 1 illustrates the platform component structure. The System Foundation Layer isolates programmers from the complexities related to coding a web application. The Application Foundation Layer provides readyto-use components that allow programmers to focus on business logic. The Application Layer separates data access, business logic, and presentation logic. Access to the business logic can be managed via the presentation logic or web services.

  • 4. PLATFORM BENEFITS Rapid customization. Built-in web-based customization tools allow you to change the appearance of screens, the business logic, and the database fields. Customizations are stored separately from the core application code so they can be easily exported. In addition, updates and upgrades to the core application do not impact any existing customizations. Rapid development. New modules can be developed inside Microsoft Visual Studio without worrying about HTML, CSS, HTTP, and JavaScript. The core features that Acumatica developers used to create all Acumatica modules are available to value-added resellers and ISVs so your application can be customized and improved as your needs change. Easy to maintain. All customizations are stored in the database so you can backup your code changes and data with a single backup process. Since there is no client software to maintain, backups are managed centrally. Multi-tier architecture. User Interface (UI) elements are completely separate from business logic, which is separated from the database access layer and the database itself. Integration with external systems. All application logic available through Acumatica screens can also be accessed using a generic Web Services API (Application Programming Interface) based on SOAP and WSDL. The API invokes the same security mechanisms and access rights to allow data migration, extraction of information for reporting, and integration with external systems. Database agnostic. Acumatica is optimized for Microsoft SQL Server, but the technology allows for storing of data in alternate databases like Oracle and MySQL. WWW.ACUMATICA.COM  © Copyright 2013 Acumatica PAGE 5
  • 5. Improving Your Business Acumatica is unique because it is web-based, yet the server can be installed anywhere so that you remain in control of your software. The software is priced by server core so you can involve everybody in your organization—even if they only log in once a month to submit an expense report. This architecture provides several benefits over client-server and pure SaaS models. These benefits are discussed in the following sections. CENTRALIZED BUSINESS PROCESS AUTOMATION Acumatica includes an integrated set of enterprise class financial, distribution, project accounting, customer management, and manufacturing applications. These applications share a common relational database so data is shared in real-time among all applications, dashboards, and the reporting engine. An integrated content management system enables you to keep business plans, policies, forecasts, and procedures online and associate them with financial transactions to deliver a complete view of your business. Advanced access controls enable people inside and outside your organization to use the system. The result is lifecycle process automation involving all aspects of your business. People, documents, materials, and processes are organized and coordinated by business rules that you establish. By consolidating these items into a cloud system, your business will gain the following benefits: • Simplified auditing – documents, notes, receipts, and contracts are attached directly to business documents so auditors can obtain relevant content from a single location. Auditors can be granted temporary access to specific GL accounts, reports, documents, and screens. • Customer lifecycle management – data and documents are linked to customers throughout their history. Leads can be acquired through a web form, assigned to salespeople, converted to customers, and managed according to company policies. During that period, marketing, sales, customer service, finance, and other departments all have access to consistent information. • Accurate forecasting and budgeting – centralized storage provides up-to-date data to ensure accurate budgeting and planning. The ability to integrate different people (marketing, sales, finance), different applications (CRM, ERP), and different documents (sales forecasts, marketing plans, budgets, financial results) improves the forecasting process.

  • 6. • Better reporting – integrated reporting tools provide on-demand reports. Reports can easily be created using either Acumatica web-based report writer or Acumatica’s desktop visual reporting application. Once created, reports can be registered and made available to authorized users. Inquiry screens provide “drill down” capabilities so you can locate documentation related to the transaction. INVOLVE EVERYBODY Acumatica is web-based and priced by the server core, so everybody can use it. Role-based security lets you control which users have access to exactly what data. A user’s access rights can be limited to specific documents, general ledger accounts, customers, vendors, and specific wiki articles. As the Internet has proven, the value of a system is proportional to the number of people who use it. The table below summarizes some of the types of users that will benefit: USER TYPE WHY ACUMATICA? BENEFITS AND APPLICATIONS Remote and mobile workers Acumatica requires no client software or VPN and it doesn’t store data on the local computer, so IT maintenance and security concerns are minimized. Workers can access key financial and customer management applications from a home office, a remote office, while traveling, or during inclement weather. Infrequent users Acumatica’s server-based pricing and zero desktop overhead allow you to license people who use a system once or twice a month. Submit expense reports, approve documents, approve budgets, and view reports that would not otherwise be available. Investors, advisors Document-level access controls and audit trails enable you to provide access to specific data, dashboards, reports, and documents in readonly mode. Investors and advisors can stay informed and up-to-date regarding financial results and business plans. Non-public documents can be shared with specific individuals. Temporary workers External bookkeepers, auditors, accountants, customer service personnel, seasonal workers, tax preparers, and others can be granted access for limited periods of time. Temporary workers are more productive because they can get the information that they need without installing software or driving to a central location. Customers and vendor Acumatica makes adding users with limited access rights easy. In a few seconds, you can provide customers and vendors to specific reports within the system. Customers can check order and delivery status on demand using a browser. This reduces customer service costs while improving service. Vendors can submit quotes online to streamline price quotes. As more and more users join the system, opportunities for collaboration and efficient information sharing increase. The amount of data circulated over email will decrease and customers will always have access to the latest documents. EXAMPLE: TIME REPORTING AND EXPENSE CLAIMS Problem: Frequently companies hire a person to enter timesheets or expense reports into their ERP system to avoid purchasing extra software licenses and installing software on every employee’s computer. This creates extra work because data has to be entered twice (once on the employee’s computer and once more in the accounting system) and additional confusion because people have to email documents to the order entry person and verify that claims have been processed. Solution: Acumatica solves both problems by eliminating user-based licensing and providing a system that can be accessed using any popular web-browser. Employees from around the world can enter expense claims and timesheets which can be coded and approved without re-keying or email. WWW.ACUMATICA.COM  theCopyright of their claims online.

  • 7. INDIVIDUALLY MANAGED, CENTRALLY CONTROLLED Individual users can customize their dashboards to get the information they need quickly in graphical, chart, or document format. For example: • Salespeople may elect to include tasks, opportunities, leads, business accounts in their dashboard along with graphs that show how they are performing against their quota. • Marketing may include lead statistics, campaigns, conversion rate reports, and personal tasks in their dashboard. • Finance may elect to build a dashboard with revenues, expenses, overdue invoices, and accounts referred to collections. Each user can use the web-based interface to quickly build a customized dashboard without technical assistance by pointing and clicking in their browser. Tasks, leads, and opportunities are automatically customized to present individuals with the accounts and jobs that are relevant for them. Acumatica allows managers to establish teams and approval routes for managing work. Each approval route can generate and assign tasks and monitor wait times to ensure that processes are being completed on schedule. Managers can assign tasks to others and receive follow up reminders. Centralized control of information is critical for a web-based system. Acumatica allows administrators to set restrictions by object, role, or group. Once restrictions are set, they apply to screens, reports, and anywhere else the object may be requested. WWW.ACUMATICA.COM  © Copyright 2013 Acumatica PAGE 8
  • 8. Acumatica’s unique combination of security and web-based access enables you to provide secure access to information while at the same time controlling it. CENTRALIZED SECURITY Acumatica was designed as a web-application. As such, Acumatica is suspicious of all data coming from a web browser and therefore performs all verification and validation steps at the server. Data is encrypted during transmission using techniques employed by modern banking and healthcare systems.   US Purchase Order #123  US Customer #987 Invoice    Company policy document   Transaction     Figure 2 - Restriction Groups provide centralized control All application data is centrally stored and encrypted to provide a secure environment for confidential and sensitive data. Client-server systems and PC-based systems often rely on device security. Unfortunately, devices often travel with the user into unsecure environments and can be lost, stolen, or recycled without erasing the hard drive. Acumatica provides the option to store your confidential data in your facility or at a hosting provider that you select. This choice allows you to select the level of security that you require. WORKS THE WAY YOU WORK Acumatica works with any popular browser, so you can use devices running Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Android, or other operating system to access critical business information. Acumatica is tested with Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Apple Safari.

UK Customer #123 Invoice Global “stretch” budget The table to the right shows how different types of transactions can be shared among different “roles” in the system. CEO, CFO Budgeting also becomes easier as people who are responsible for specific budgets have access to them, while budgets of other organizations and business units are kept confidential. USA Purchasing For example, salespersons can be limited to viewing and reporting on just the data for their customers while a finance manager at a regional office may be limited to viewing the General Ledger sub-accounts for his region. Dashboards, menus and data entry forms automatically adjust to show only authorized functions and fields. PAGE 9 

Cost-Effective comprehensive Features and Functions Traditionally, software buyers had to choose between inexpensive PC-based solutions which offer little functionality and client-server applications which offered additional features but were expensive to implement and maintain. The advent of SaaS provided solutions which have more features than PC-based products and are easier to implement than client-server. But, SaaS solutions can be expensive in the long term if you purchase a SaaS solution and are locked into a single datacenter or deployment model. Client-server solutions Acumatica Cloud ERP SaaS-only solutions PC-based solutions Low Value high Several client-server applications have been adapted for the web. Applications which have been adapted for the web are not as cost effective as those which are designed for the web. The chart below summarizes several differences: High Value Expensive basic Acumatica is cost effective because it was designed for the web using standard technology which can be deployed anywhere. Affordable Cost of Ownership low ITEM DESIGNED FOR THE WEB ADAPTED FOR THE WEB Functionality 100% of the features are available from anywhere using a browser. The web interface may only include a subset of features. Security Client is not trusted – all validation is done at the server all data is secured on the server. Client may store and manipulate some data or perform user authentication and validation. Usability Interface can be desktop-like in appearance and performance through use of web-based technologies. Interfaces for the client and the web are often different resulting in different user experiences and training requirements. Performance Optimized to reduce network traffic and rapidly respond to server requests. Web interface may utilize a conversion process or use proprietary protocols which increase network traffic and limit the ability to scale. WWW.ACUMATICA.COM  © Copyright 2013 Acumatica PAGE 10
  • 10. YOU CONTROL THE SOFTWARE As shown in the study results below, different companies prefer to deploy software in different ways. Managed Hosting 32% Application-led platforms 23% Cloud computing Development platforms 12% 7% Do it yourself Would not use SaaS 19% 7% Figure 3 - Companies Prefer Different Deployment Models Source: Enterprise Software Customer Survey 2008, McKinsey & Company and Sandhill Group Acumatica allows you to control where you deploy your software so you can deploy it cost effectively. Most importantly, Acumatica is flexible so you can change your deployment model as your needs change. We agree with Ray Wang and other analysts who say the decision to purchase an application as a service (SaaS), or to run it on your own servers, or at a hosting or cloud services company, depends on a variety of economic and other factors including the number of locations, the number of users, bandwidth availability, security requirements, cultural factors, and corporate and government regulations. For most organizations these factors also vary over time, so what works for today may not be right for tomorrow. With Acumatica you can start with one deployment model and then switch to another as your needs change. On premise deployment: if you have a large, under-utilized datacenter, you may benefit by deploying the application on spare hardware in your own datacenter. For example, if you have virtualized several servers recently and have spare hardware – an on-premise deployment may be cost effective. Hosted deployment: if you have short term capital constraints or do not want to invest in IT personnel to maintain and backup your financial solution, you may benefit by hosting the solution in a full-service datacenter. Cloud services deployment: if your use of the application will be light during the initial implementation, you may benefit by deploying Acumatica on Cloud hosting services such as those offered by GoGrid, Amazon EC2, and Microsoft Azure. These platforms allow you to pay for only the resources that you use to keep costs low as you are growing. NO CLIENT SOFTWARE Acumatica is web-based so it can be accessed from anywhere without the cost of installing client software or VPN software. You can access 100% of your application functionality, including customizations, using any popular browser. WWW.ACUMATICA.COM  © Copyright 2013 Acumatica PAGE 11
  • 11. This saves your company money on PC maintenance because there is no additional cost to install, maintain, and repair client software. The web browser that you use to access Acumatica is already installed and paid for. • Average cost of installing an application: $50 / client • Average cost of maintaining an application: $100 / client / year When individuals upgrade to a new computer, all individual dashboards, favorites, filters, and reports are automatically transferred because these settings are stored on the server. This eliminates costs associated with migrating data and re-configuring user preferences. Cost savings can be even higher for individuals in remote offices who do not have access to an IT person. Figure shows the total cost of ownership over five years when using Acumatica versus pay-by-user and client-server solutions. Key assumptions include the cost of hardware ($25,000), support for client server (1 IT person per 100 users), Acumatica hosting cost ($2,400 per year plus an additional amount per user), monthly SaaS cost ($80 per user), and software licensing costs. Acumatica provides several cost benefits because there is no client software to maintain and it is easy to maintain on standard Windows hosting plans. $1,000,000 CONSOLIDATE OPERATIONS A single instance of Acumatica can scale to support an organization with multiple offices in multiple countries. This allows you to manage all of your IT operations from a single location or datacenter so you can save money on operational expenses. For a company with 5 different locations, these operational savings can be over $100,000 if you include hardware, software, and IT expenses. This doesn’t include the time that is saved from people not being able to work while their PC is being updated. $900,000 $800,000 $700,000 $600,000 $500,000 $400,000 $300,000 $200,000 $100,000 $0 1 25 50 75 100 125 150 175 200 225 250 275 300 325 350 Number of Users Acumatica SaaS (pay by user) Client-Server Figure 4 - Total Cost of Ownership (5 Years) for ERP Systems WWW.ACUMATICA.COM  © Copyright 2013 Acumatica PAGE 12
  • 12. Acumatica’s technology provides unique advantages for companies who want to consolidate operations across multiple offices or subsidiaries. • Works over unreliable network connections – remote users receive nearly the same experience as users who are co-located with the Acumatica server. This allows you to deploy only one system instead of multiple servers in multiple locations. • No client software required – since Acumatica works with any common browser and does not require a VPN, there is no need to deploy application or system experts in remote offices. • Scalable – you can easily add application servers to an existing deployment to handle increased workloads. • Robust access controls – role based security allows you to control the information that can be accessed from different locations. • Advanced financial features – a single system can manage different currencies, languages, tax logic, reporting requirements, and more so the consolidation does not impact local business requirements. • Customized reporting – flexible account and subaccount codes allow users to get information that they need that is customized for their particular location.
