Acumatica describes an open platform with APIs and integrations including STACK for takeoff and estimating, Procore, SmartSheet, Office 365, DocuSign, and Adobe. Listed security measures include role-based controls, MFA, encryption, audit trails, backups, and disaster recovery. Acumatica says it meets or exceeds standards including SOC 1/2/3, GDPR, and FDA.
