Hi and welcome to Episode 32 of the ERP Minute. I am your host, Rebekah McCabe.
Blackbaud recently announced its addition of PayPal and Venmo payment capabilities for Blackbaud Merchant Services Customers. This addition will allow social good organizations to offer supporters the option to check out using PayPal or Venmo.
This is extremely beneficial as customers in Blackbaud’s early adopter program for the integration found that nearly 10% of donor gifts came through PayPal. Seeing Blackbaud continue to offer innovative, practical solutions for their Nonprofit customers is a great thing. Especially now, as there are so many opportunities to allow Nonprofits to increase their contributions from diverse constituents who want to use alternative payment methods, allowing them to increase their impact.
SAP announced Microsoft’s adoption of the RISE with SAP solution on Microsoft Cloud, shifting the company’s SAP ERP software systems to SAP S/4Hana Cloud, private addition.
Regardless of SAP and Microsoft’s competitive relationship, we are very interested to see a Fortune 50 company leverage the RISE program to migrate their legacy SAP installations to the cloud. We do expect MANY large organizations to do the same thing in the coming years.
On a different note, Anaplan, an enterprise software company, was purchased by private equity firm Thoma Bravo in the amount of $10.7 billion. They will use their additional capital to build the strength of their innovate platform and capitalize on the opportunity for incredible demand in the marketplace. This acquisition follows a flurry of private equity-led takeovers in the software sector.
This acquisition will bolster Anaplan’s ability to compete in the marketplace with more free flow capital to invest in sales, operations, and innovation, which is always of great benefit to clients.
Finally, OneStream was recognized by CRN in its 2022 Partner Program Guide. Companies are scored based on investments in program offerings, partner profitability, partner training, education and support, marketing programs and resources, sales efforts, and communication.
You can have the best software in the world, but without good partners, you cannot implement it successfully. Seeing OneStream make a major commitment to their partner program will only help them to continue to provide value to customers while offering world class Corporate Performance Management software.
