Intacct’s CEO Robert Reid On Growing A Successful Cloud Business

Intacct’s CEO Robert Reid On Growing A Successful Cloud Business

By Louis Columbus on March 11, 2013

Selling software to accountants, auditors and Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) takes accuracy, precision and software quality to an entirely new dimension. Having worked at a start-up selling hosted accounting and finance applications to small and medium businesses, I’ve seen first-hand how demanding these professionals can be.  And rightly so, the system of record they manage [...]

Apple iPad vs. Android Xoom: Judgment day arrives

By Michael Krigsman on August 4, 2011

Summary: A personal journey deep into the heart of the iPad and Xoom tablets. Which side won? I’ve been an iPad fan since Apple first released the ubiquitous tablets; with instant-on and long battery life, these devices are an ideal traveler’s companion.

Friday Rant: Get Ready for a Double-Dip Recession and Its Impact on Procurement (Part 2)

By Jason Busch on July 9, 2010

Last Friday, we introduced economic data that suggests the US could be headed for a double-dip recession sooner than many might realize (as early as Q2, when revised numbers come out). In this Friday’s post, we’ll continue providing what we believe are the most critical checklist supplier recommendations to consider based on the highly probable [...]

By Michael Krigsman on June 11, 2010

Although not focused on IT failure, a slide presentation over at Slate points out that great financial reward sometimes comes to those who screw up. Big time.

Friday Rant: When Finance Takes Over Procurement

Friday Rant: When Finance Takes Over Procurement

By Jason Busch on May 28, 2010

In my spring 2010 “predictions” conference presentation (which I’ve now given almost half a dozen times), one of the scenarios I posit for the future of procurement in the next five years is that finance will take a much more active stance and roll within the procurement function.

Friday Rant: Should Finance Own P2P?

Friday Rant: Should Finance Own P2P?

By Jason Busch on March 26, 2010

In this rant, I’ll purposely be contrarian. In 99% of organizations today, procurement owns the P2P technology platform, perhaps in collaboration with IT (or at least the first “P” in it). The second “P,” if it exists in a technology-automated manner…

When Buying and Selling in "Local Currency" Takes on a New Meaning

When Buying and Selling in “Local Currency” Takes on a New Meaning

By Jason Busch on February 18, 2010

When we usually think of buying in local currencies, most procurement and finance minds think about denominating contracts in local currencies (e.g., RMB) rather than in the dollar or Euro. But the concept of local currency takes on an entirely diffe…

CFO Supply Risk Ignorance is Not Bliss -- Looking Forward While Gauging the Damage

CFO Supply Risk Ignorance is Not Bliss — Looking Forward While Gauging the Damage

By Jason Busch on February 18, 2010

With a hat-tip to Bob Ferrari, I came across a December study conducted by CFO Research Services and American Express. The study surveyed finance executives on their views on economic recovery, and on their corporate behavior during the downturn. The…
