From Bob Scott, Executive Editor, ERP Global Insights/PMG360

On July 29, 1991, I began serving the tax and accounting marketing and through different companies, titles, and media have continued to serve it. It has been a pleasure to work with accountants and resellers and through our stories, help them meet their business needs. But it is time for me to do more in my life—literally pursuing other interests including gardening, singing opera, photography and family history. So, this is my farewell and best wishes to the ERP and VAR market. 

At PMG360, we're embracing the future by transitioning from a traditional B2B editorial approach to one that leverages the power of generative AI. We have a team that have worked with Bob and will continue to focus on delivering high-quality content that speaks directly to business decision-makers. What’s different? We're now tapping into AI to tailor that content even more precisely across the websites and newsletters we publish. This shift isn’t just about adopting new technology—it’s about using it to better serve our customers, stay ahead of industry trends, and continue delivering value in ways that are faster, more scalable, and more relevant to the unique needs of each generation.

On September 17, Intuit loudly trumpeted the Intuit Enterprise Suite, which it said expand its mid-market offerings. But one of Intuit’s larger resellers says the suite is largely a bundle from a company that increasingly offers its channel little to sell and little to earn. 

Martus Solutions has introduced a partner program for resellers and referral partners, a revamp to an existing program. One of the most notable program features is the promise of a “30-point margin in perpetuity”.

The names of firms named to Microsoft’s Inner Circle for 2024/2025 have been emerging through press release issued by channel companies over the last two months.
