SAN FRANCISCO, CA—(Marketwired – April 30, 2015) – Acumatica, a cloud ERP company, today unveiled its content pack for Power BI on stage at Microsoft's annual developer conference, Build.
Thousands of developers are attending the three–day Build conference, which features new content and training on various Microsoft products. The Acumatica content pack for Power BI, which allows users to tap into Acumatica's powerful Cloud ERP platform and database to run their businesses with better data insights, was one of several new products unveiled on stage at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
Steve Guggenheimer, Corporate Vice President, Developer Platform and Evangelism at Microsoft, delivered the keynote at Build, while Technical Fellow John Shewchuk demoed the Acumatica integration solution with Power BI.
Ajoy Krishnamoorthy, Acumatica's General Manager of Cloud xRP Platform, said: “We are honored to be showcased in front of Microsoft's core developer community. We are invested in our platform and this key collaboration with Microsoft demonstrates our commitment to extending our product in the most powerful ways possible.”

With this Power BI solution, we are leapfrogging the competition and giving our customers a powerful tool to create dynamic dashboards using natural language queries.”
