Who’s behind Accelerate
Accelerate is built by people who have run an Acumatica practice themselves, and hit the ceiling that stops one from growing.
Craig Silvestri
Founder and CEO
Acumatica MVP · Certified Acumatica Professional
Craig co-founded ASC Partners, ran it for a decade, and sold it. Across those ten years the practice delivered around fifty Acumatica implementations. Fifteen of his twenty-five years in ERP have been inside the Acumatica ecosystem.
Somewhere in there he noticed something that bothered him. The software kept getting better every year. The way partners implemented it barely moved. Same discovery, same configuration screens, same spreadsheets, same consultants doing the same work by hand on every project.
The cost of that is not only margin on the fixed-fee jobs. It is capacity. Every hour a consultant spends rebuilding a configuration they have already built is an hour that practice cannot sell to the next client, and the only way to grow is to hire, which takes months.
Accelerate exists because he got tired of watching good practices run into that ceiling. He ran into it himself. He is not describing the problem from the outside.

Why Accelerate exists
Over twenty-five years the software kept getting better. Acumatica today is not the ERP of 2005.
The way we implement it barely moved.
Same discovery. Same configuration screens, clicked one at a time. Same data loads. Same weeks nobody bills for and everybody absorbs. The product evolved, the method stayed put, and the gap between them is where a partner’s margin goes.
Accelerate is built to close that gap.
At Accelerate
Craig leads product direction, partner relationships and the development program. His own description of the role is evangelist, which in practice means being the person explaining to VAR principals why a delivery method that has not changed in twenty-five years is overdue for one.
Founding partners
We are working with a small number of practices ahead of the January 2027 release. Founding partners get preferential pricing, a direct line into the product roadmap, and named founding-partner status when we go to market.
If your practice delivers Acumatica implementations, that is the conversation we want.
