Acumatica’s product suites and integrated customization tools can be purchased as a traditional software license or bundled with an operating environment and services as a SaaS solution.
Accounting and ERP that Adapts with Your Business
With Acumatica, you can switch between SaaS and a traditional license as your business requirements change. Switching is easy because the application code is nearly identical and your customizations are stored separately so they can be exported and re-installed.
