Acumatica Cloud ERP: A Future Proof Cloud ERP Platfom
Summary
​
The Acumatica Cloud ERP platform is future proof since its cloud platform is built on the Microsoft .Net platform that supports new IT technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (machine learning, natural language, pattern.character recognition, ..) , blockchain, Internet of Things, microservices, multithreading, object state processing, serverless computing, etc. Legacy ERP systems do not support all those new IT technologies, and will therefore become obsolete. With a legacy ERP, your company will spent an enormous amount of money to keep customizing it, and to integrate it with ISV applications.
Your IT Concerns
​
Your major IT concern is whether your ERP system will carry your company forward to the future. In other words, will my ERP system continue to use the latest, most efficient IT technologies? In more detail, your concerns will be:
-
Will it use Artificial Intelligence (machine learning, natural language, pattern.character recognition, ..) , blockchain, Internet of Things, .?
-
Will it support industry 4.0: Industry Internet of Things (IIOT)?
-
Will it use microservices and multithreading?
-
Will it use mobile application development technologies such as MSDL ( Mobile SItemap Definition Language) that enables a non-IT person to configure a mobile app?
-
Will it use object state processing that enable a non-IT person to configure workflows?
-
Will it use superfast database processing based on serverless computing, etc.?
-
Will it enable no code or low code customization and application development?
