Nonprofit software vendor Abila has added three members of its executive team. It might be a little newsier if they had come from outside the company, but all had held executive positions at Avectra, which Abila acquired in August, and two of them had the same title at the former employer. The three  are Russ Odom as SVP and general manager of netForum Enterprise, Craig Dellorso as its chief customer officer and Jay Love as senior vice president. Abila was formed this year after its backer, Accel-KKR, acquired the former Sage Nonprofit Solutions. Both Odom and Dellorso will be working with netForum, acquired when Abila purchased Avectra. Dellorso had been with Avectra since January 2006 and had held the same title he now has with Abila since February 2012. Odom was Avectra's CFO from 2008 until August. Love had the same title with Avectra since August 2012, is also founder, and currently CEO of Bloomerang, a position he has held since September 2012. Odom's retention is the biggest news since CFOs at acquired companies can be awfully expendable.

Bill Anderson, who had been the director of marketing for Tribridge, left the Tampa, Fla.-based company in the spring. Anderson moved to To-Increase as global marketing director in March, but this is one of those moves that did not get widely known. (Meaning To-Increase did not issue a press release.) Before joining Tribridge in February 2009, Anderson was VP of marketing for the former ePartners. EPartners was then purchased by Tribridge in December 2011. To-Increase, based in the Netherlands, is the software arm of Danish Dynamics VAR Columbus and develops applications on top of Dynamics AX and NAV and was acquired by Columbus in 2006. Anderson's resume has some real highlights since during his tenure Tribridge was Microsoft's Worldwide Dynamics Partner of the Year in 2008, 2010 and 2012. Anderson came to ePartners via its purchase of the former Progressive Business Solutions in 2001, where he had run marketing since 1995.

SAP may be saying the Business ByDesign is not dead. But rival NetSuite is telling the world that the online program is going the way of the dinosaurs. On its home page, NetSuite has posted what it is calling "SAP Business DyDesign Sunset Migration Program" replete with an art element that represents lovely, glowing sunset.

Abila, which acquired the former Sage Nonprofit Solutions, has brought the MIP name back to the nonprofit software market. We should say, it has formally brought the name back because MIP, short for the former Micro Information Products, has been in active use among the reseller and user community despite its official disappearance. Abila says the decision was in response to customer feedback. "We listened to our customers and brought back the MIP name for our fund accounting solution, signifying a rich tradition in software going back 30 years," says Abila CEO Krista Endsley. Micro Information Products first released the product in 1982. After it was acquired by Sage in 2001, it disappeared under Sage's rebranding and was finally known as Sage 100 Fund Accounting. The product is now Abila MIP Fund Accounting. For the other products acquired from the Sage, the renaming was simply a matter of replacing the name Sage with the word, Abila. The other renamed products are Abila Fundraising 50, Abila Fundraising Online, Abila Grant Management, Abila Nonprofit Online and Abila Millennium
