For many small and midsize businesses, deploying Software as a Service (SaaS) provides the benefits of an enterprise-class solution without the enterprise IT budget.

When Acumatica is deployed via SaaS, your Acumatica system is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and can be accessed from any web browser on any Internet-connected device.

You can pay as you go, and easily scale resources up or down based on growth or changing business needs. You also free yourself from the complexities and costs of managing hardware and maintaining software.

Additionally, a SaaS deployment enables Acumatica to ensure the highest levels of security, availability, and performance.

Acumatica manages the work involved in setting up and provisioning the application, as well as configuring the initial environment for you to access your Acumatica SaaS instance.

Once your Acumatica environment is accessible, Acumatica automates common administrative tasks, such as performing backups, software updates, and continuous monitoring and tuning, including multi-homed internet and power backup.

The Always Current Program provides customers with automated updates and upgrades to ensure that customers are on the latest release. This provides the following benefits:
