Meeting Highlights
We kicked off the meeting by welcoming attendees and outlining the agenda, which included updates on MYOB’s AI strategy, product demonstrations, and a Q&A session. The meeting was designed to provide valuable insights into the latest developments and features that will enhance user experience. One of the standout moments was the announcement of MYOB being voted the number one ERP solution in Australia and New Zealand for mid-market businesses. This recognition reflects the depth of MYOB’s product offerings, including MYOB Acumatica, MYOB Greentree, and Exo, as well as the rapid growth in MYOB’s customer base.
AI Integration in Acumatica
A significant focus of the meeting was on the integration of AI features in Acumatica. Penny highlighted three main AI experiences that will be included in the upcoming releases:
- AI Automation: This feature allows users to describe the actions they want within the application, enabling the system to set up those actions with minimal coding.
- AI Advisor: This tool provides contextual input to help users make better decisions by leveraging anomaly detection to identify significant expenses.
- AI Assistant: Designed to improve user productivity, this feature allows users to request information from Acumatica and interact with the application using natural language for deeper insights.
These AI capabilities are set to enhance productivity and efficiency for users, making the future of MYOB Acumatica very promising.
Product Demonstrations
Our team showcased several product demonstrations that highlighted advanced tips and tricks within MYOB Acumatica. These demonstrations included:
- Generic Inquiries: We demonstrated how users can edit generic inquiries to include additional information, such as supplier inventory IDs, enhancing the data visibility within the system. (00:07:02 Generic Inquiries and OData)
