AI-Driven Business Intelligence: Transforming Data into Actionable Insights
One of the standout themes at Acumatica Summit 2025 was how AI is being folded into reporting, enabling companies to move beyond static reports and into real-time results. During the “Gems of Acumatica Summit” webinar, Arline Welty from DataQuest called out how Acumatica is making it possible for businesses to use AI to analyze customer sentiment in CRM interactions, detect financial anomalies before they escalate, and automate data visualization with natural language queries.
From Query to Dashboard in Seconds
One of the most exciting demonstrations was this: imagine a CEO wondering about today’s sales compared to last year. Instead of waiting for an analyst to generate a report, she simply types a question into Acumatica’s AI-powered assistant. She’ll receive an instant answer because AI is able to retrieve and visualize the data in seconds. Then the CEO can see that data graphically, and decide to pin it to her dashboard.
The Democratization of Data: Giving Power to Every User
Traditionally, business intelligence was confined to IT departments and data analysts. However, Acumatica is shifting the paradigm by making data accessible to all users. Elizabeth Cameron from Stellar One emphasized how we’re moving away from needing IT to generate every report. The power is shifting to the people actually using the data.
How Acumatica is Enabling Data Accessibility
Acumatica is enabling data accessibility with low-code, no-code options for interacting with the ERP data. For example, employees can generate initial reports and then call in a technician when refinement is needed. The AI powered natural language processing allows users to ask questions in plain English and get instant answers. This shift means that businesses can make data-driven decisions faster while reducing IT overhead.
