This blog highlights the major enhancements and how they can immediately improve your business. ## Productivity Enhancements The most significant productivity enhancement is Acumatica 6’s new CRM add-in for Microsoft Outlook. When you receive an email, the add-in automatically retrieves the sender’s information from your CRM database, enabling you to stay within the application. If the sender is a new contact, you can mark it as new, as a lead, or as an opportunity.   The real productivity boost, however, comes from seamless CRM-Outlook information flows. Instead of switching between systems, searching your CRM, copying and pasting data, and looking up customer histories, it happens automatically from your email inbox.

These include items such as trending charts and tables, web pages, widgets, and alerts ─ all based upon your parameters and format choices. The result is dashboards that reflect your most critical information in the most consumable manner possible.   It’s important to note that these features are completely mobile-enabled so that your team can access them from their desktop, laptop, tablet, and phone. ### *Native Data Analytics* Acumatica’s integration with Microsoft technology enables users to add pivot tables directly to dashboards and share them with others. Acumatica 6 adds data visualization that can support large amounts of real-time data without ever leaving the application. While we highlight this as an analytics improvement, you will also gain productivity. You can save hours by eliminating the multi-step process traditionally required to develop Excel pivot tables based on data you had to gather from ERP and CRM systems and then had to manipulate, graph, and manually share with others. ### *Flexible Search* Acumatica 6 adds flexibility to finding and analyzing data by improving the existing ‘General Inquiries’ function. Acumatica 6 adds improved navigation between multiple inquiries, enabling you to gain role-based access to all data relevant to your search. Additionally, it allows unlimited drill down into generic inquiries, screens, and reports.   The combination of improved search and broader, deeper search results fosters information sharing and helps workers in your organization gain answers to their most pressing questions, faster. ## Business Agility Acumatica 6 improves business agility by incorporating multi-lingual functionality and a more flexible application programming interface (API).   The multi-lingual data fields found in Acumatica 6 help organizations that do business in more than one language. You and your multilingual team members can store data in a language-specific manner and retrieve it in any of the growing number of supported languages. This makes localization easier and adds value to your ERP when operating in multinational environments.

This API leverages the same endpoints and contracts as the contract-based simple object access protocol (SOAP) API introduced in Acumatica ERP 5.3. The REST API simplifies creation and testing of requests directly from a web browser and eliminates the need for the custom libraries and special wrappers required by the SOAP API.   Acumatica incorporated the REST API in response to the growing number of innovative programming languages and technologies that your organization may want to use to innovate. The availability of REST interfaces ensures your team can continuously adapt as business demands change.   To take advantage of the productivity, analytics, and agility of Acumatica 6, [contact us](https://www.southeastcomputers.com/contact-us) about upgrading today.   # # #   ***About Southeast Computer Solutions*** *Southeast Computer Solutions is based in Miami, Florida, and has additional operations in Mexico.
