It’s great to have you as part of the Acumatica Community ​@KarthikGajendran!Recently Chris Hackett reached out to me and said I got selected as Featured Member of the Month in the Acumatica Community, which honestly made me pause and think…“Wait… are you sure you picked the right person?” 😄So, here’s a little about me, the short, honest, and heavily edited for entertainment purpose.Where It All StartedI come from a small village in the southern part of India, the kind of place where Google Maps politely gives up halfway.I was the first graduate in my family and the first engineer from my village. These days, there are many more… so I like to think I started a trend. 😄I grew up in a big joint family, which was basically my first training groun

Hi,I’ve been using—and actively advocating for—this software for years. I’ve recommended it to numerous companies and even helped guide a sister company through implementing it.That said, I was under the impression that I had a full license for the features I needed, and that if something wasn’t included, I could simply purchase the specific module. When I originally bought the software for my company, it was with the understanding that there were no individual user licenses—it was unlimited.Now, five years later, I’m finding out that the only way to get access to AI Studio is to change my license. On top of that, I’d have to pay a premium for tenants that were already included in my original license, and my user count would now be capped at 50.To add insult to injury, the cost increase comes out to roughly 55%.Is anyone else experiencing this? Thoughts on what your doing next?

Tim Rodman:I grew up in San Diego and went to UCLA for college, where I majored in Applied Mathematics and minored in Accounting and Computer Programming. It turns out that was pretty good academic prep for ERP, but I didn't know what ERP was at the time, so my first job out of college was as a Financial Auditor for Deloitte, working out of the downtown Los Angeles office. I got my CPA license and accidentally landed in the world of Midmarket ERP in 2005, working with Microsoft Dynamics GP and Sage 500. That "accidental" path is pretty common, I think, for many (maybe most?) of us in this space.In April 2013, I sweet-talked an Acumatica VAR into sneaking me into the Acumatica Portal so I could download and install the software. In exchange, we agreed to talk periodically and compare notes. When I sat down to install Acumatica for the first time, I thought that it would be a good idea to take notes, but, for some reason, when I would take notes in a Word document, I had

We use Acumatica for Construction Project Management, Service Scheduling, Inventory Management, AR, AP, and Payroll.When I first joined the company in 2022 I was assigned the task of overseeing the transition from Eagle Business Management Software (EBMS) to Acumatica.

I then developed training manuals and worked on training our different departments as we prepared to go live. We went live right around New Year of 2023.I’ve now moved into the management role in our company, but I still oversee each of the new Acumatica updates. I enjoy learning from others in the conversations on the forum and contributing when I can.I had a
