Acumatica Shortlisted for 2016 SaaS Awards

BELLEVUE, Wash. - July 26, 2016 - PRLog -- Acumatica is a finalist in the  SaaS Awards Program in the category of Best SaaS Product for ERP.

With awards for excellence and innovation in SaaS, the Software-as-a-Service Awards program accepts entries worldwide, including the U.S., Canada, Australia, UK and EMEA. 2016 is the inaugural year for The SaaS Awards program, which is partnered with the annual Cloud Awards, now entering its sixth year.

Categories for the 2016 awards program include Best SaaS Product for Small Business, Best Enterprise-Level SaaS Product and Best Data-Driven SaaS Product.

"SaaS technologies are critical to success in the competitive global marketplace, so for Acumatica to be shortlisted reflects a huge achievement for our team," said Acumatica CEO Jon Roskill. "Through our ERP and xRp products, we're helping thousands of companies around the world become more efficient while accelerating the growth and competitiveness of their businesses." "The SaaS Awards," said awards organizer Larry Johnson, "is a recognition platform specifically for software solutions. Frankly, it's about time, in a maturing international marketplace for cloud services. SaaS has proven to be the poster child for leveraging thin-client technologies, while ensuring end-users are always working at the cutting edge."

"In its first year, we have already seen a groundswell of submissions from large, blue-chip organizations which continue to adapt and make inroads into the space, and smaller, more agile start-ups, which can occupy and dominate a niche. We've also welcomed a significant number of entries from outside North America, which is refreshing. To make the shortlist itself is an honor," said Johnson.

Final SaaS Awards winners will be announced on August 9, 2016. The SaaS Awards are closed for entries and will return in Spring 2017. More than 200 organizations entered, with international entries coming from North America, Canada, Australia, UK, Europe and the Middle East.
