Winners in each category will be announced during this session, scheduled for Monday, January 26, 2026. Following the announcements, winning partners will have the opportunity to be photographed with the Acumatica executive team.
Sean Chatterjee, who authored the announcement for Acumatica, emphasized the company’s commitment to its partner ecosystem, noting that the awards recognize those who “go the extra mile” in serving mutual customers and contributing to the broader community.
The awards program aligns with Acumatica’s broader focus on customer success, which includes initiatives like the ERP industry’s first Customer Bill of Rights. This document outlines what customers can expect from Acumatica as their ERP provider, reflecting the company’s emphasis on transparency and accountability.
Acumatica Summit 2026 will serve as the venue for announcing winners and celebrating the achievements of the partner network. The event represents an opportunity for the Acumatica community to gather, share best practices, and explore new developments in cloud ERP technology.

The recognition program demonstrates how Acumatica structures its partner relationships around measurable outcomes, including customer satisfaction, retention, and business growth. By creating multiple award categories spanning different business functions and industries, the company acknowledges the diverse contributions partners make to the ecosystem.
For partners competing in multiple categories, the recognition represents validation of their comprehensive approach to serving Acumatica customers. Several companies appear as finalists across different award categories, indicating their broad capabilities and consistent performance.
The international finalists highlight Acumatica’s expansion beyond North American markets, with partners from regions including the United Kingdom, South Africa, and the Caribbean contributing to the company’s global growth.
As cloud ERP continues to evolve as a market segment, partner recognition programs like Acumatica’s awards serve both as incentives for high performance and as indicators of industry trends. The categories themselves reflect current priorities in the ERP space, including cloud migration, vertical specialization, and customer success management.
The awards ceremony at Summit 2026 will mark the culmination of a year’s worth of partner efforts across sales, implementation, innovation, and customer service. For the finalists, the recognition offers visibility within the Acumatica community and validation of their strategies and execution.
With the winners to be announced in Seattle later this month, the finalists represent a cross-section of the Acumatica partner ecosystem, from established players like Blytheco and Net at Work to newer entrants making their mark in the rookie category. The diversity of finalists across geography, company size, and specialization reflects the breadth of Acumatica’s partner network and its approach to the mid-market ERP segment.
