Acumatica, a leading global provider of cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and financial software, announced it has expanded its U.S. presence by opening an office headquarters in Kirkland, and will be open for business at the new location effective Dec. 3.

“Our plans for 2013 include doubling our growth in the areas of channel partner sales, pre-sales consulting, partner training, ISV development, and professional services,” said Yury Larichev, COO of Acumatica. “Relocating to the Seattle area is a logical next step, where there is a wealth of innovative and talented individuals with whom we’d like to partner as we continue that growth.”

“By making this move now, we’ll be in closer proximity to high quality ERP marketing and channel resources throughout the Seattle IT community. Being in Washington will also enable us to develop stronger channel partner support on the West Coast. We’re also looking forward to closer ties and support with Microsoft, since Acumatica is an ISV Preferred Partner for Windows Azure, Microsoft’s cloud platform,” added Larichev.

“Acumatica has a huge global market opportunity,” said Larichev. “Unlike traditional ERP solutions, Acumatica empowers organizations with unparalleled adaptability, from choice of deployment, to licensing, to integration and customization choices. Customers who use Acumatica can work from anywhere, on any device, at any time, while saving money on deployment and on-going operational costs. Unlike SaaS-only solutions or legacy ERP products, Acumatica allows customers to securely control the location of their data, the timing of upgrades, and the ability to scale their ongoing software investments,” added Larichev.

While the company’s U.S. headquarters is now locating to Kirkland, Acumatica’s software engineering team remains in Moscow, Russia, where they will also continue their fast growth, said Larichev.

The new Acumatica office will house sales, marketing, product management, support, and finance/administration, and will be located at 4030 Lake Washington Blvd. N.E., Suite 100, Kirkland.
