Hi and welcome to episode 54 of The ERP Minute. I am your host, Rebekah McCabe.
Last week, SAP announced significant leadership changes with the appointment of Lloyd Adams as President of SAP North America, effective as of September 1st, and the announcement that Dominik Asam from Airbus will take over as SAP CFO and member of the Executive Board of SAP SE on March 7, 2023. After reaching the 50-year mark, SAP finds itself adapting to changes in the market, starting with leadership changes to begin the refresh.
This comes as no surprise with the related big news in the enterprise software space this week being that cloud-native Salesforce dislodged legacy provider SAP as the world’s biggest producer of enterprise applications, with second-quarter financial results showing Salesforce standing strong at $7.72 billion in revenue, topping SAP’s $7.52 billion. As the market continues to change, these ERP behemoths will likely be at odds, vying for the top spot.
In recent news, Deltek announced that its CEO Mike Corkery was named to the Virginia 500 The 2022 Power List, which recognizes the state’s most powerful and influential leaders by sector. Published by Virginia Business Magazine, this is the third annual edition of the Virginia 500 Power List and Corkery’s second time receiving the honor.
Deltek continues to make its mark in the ERP space, with its investments in strong leadership contributing to its continued future growth and success. This honor demonstrates that the right people are already in place to drive Deltek into the future.
Recently, Planful Inc. announced momentum in its international operations, recording 110% year-over-year growth ending June 2022. Planful increased its roster of EMEA resellers by 200% and expanded its presence in the APAC region. Its operations in Canada have more than doubled year-over-year while the UK team has grown six-fold.
Planful looks to be on an upward trajectory that does not appear to be slowing down anytime soon. We expect to continue to see this growth as more and more investments are being poured into the ERP market, especially into vendors like Planful.
In ERP philanthropic news, The Communications Workers of America (CWA) and Microsoft announced the launch of “Get Connected” an initiative to boost enrollment in the Federal Communication Commission’s Affordable Connectivity Program, a benefit program from the FCC that helps ensure that households can afford the broadband they need for work, school, healthcare, and more. CWA and Microsoft will work with local public housing authorities and other community partners to publicize the events and pre-qualify residents for the program. As always, it is great to see ERP giants taking responsibility for bettering their communities.
