checks, accounting for more than $2.7 trillion in administrative costs
annually,” said CEO and Co-Founder of AvidXchange. “We’re shaping
the future of the B2B payments industry by fundamentally changing
the way businesses pay their bills, providing a single platform for AP

of Mintsoft Ltd
The Access Group, one of the UK’s leading software providers for mid-sized
organisations, announced the acquisition of Mintsoft Ltd, a Chelmsford based
order and warehouse management solution provider for 3PLs and
Multi-Channel Retailers. The business was founded in 2011 by Luke Groves
with the goal to establish a UK based market leading business in the order and
warehouse management solutions market. The addition of the Mintsoft SaaS
based order and warehouse management solutions onto the Access Workspace
platform, will yet again enhance the benefits current customers will realise from
using the market leading business solution suite. Access already has solutions
that deliver for specific segments of the market and the addition of Mintsoft will
broaden the scope to additional markets, in particular for those businesses
involved in dealing with the rapid growth of e-commerce in their industries.
More and more Manufacturers, Multi-Channel Retailers, Logistics Service
Providers and 3PLs are looking to benefit from more modern and automated
order and warehouse management processes to increase fulfilment accuracy,
while at the same time significantly reducing pick times and costly returns.
CEO, The Access Group, commented, “In a recent study the warehouse
order picking market was projected to be worth more than nearly £8 billion
by 2025, with an estimated CAGR in excess of 10%, predicted across this
period. With the order picking process reported to be in excess of 50% of the
warehouse operating cost, even a small improvement in this area alone can
deliver significant benefit. While we already deliver solutions into specific
areas of this market, we expect to be able to capture a significant share of the
growth with the extended capabilities and broader market appeal that the
Mintsoft solutions bring to Access Workspace. We were extremely
impressed by the way Luke and the team have developed a market leading
position through the development of excellent products and the delivery of a
great customer experience. We look forward to helping them grow that lead
even further, as we deliver the Mintsoft solutions on the Access Workspace

Wolters Kluwer CCH Tagetik provides transformative reporting, budgeting and
planning suite for education resource leader
20
CCH Tagetik, part of Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting, a global provider of market-leading software solutions and information services
for finance professionals has implemented a transformative suite of reporting, budgeting and planning processes for Discovery Education,
the USA-based global leader in standards-based digital content and resources for students from kindergarten through high school. The
leader in standards-aligned digital curriculum resources, engaging content, and professional learning for K-12 classrooms, Discovery
Education spun out from Discovery, Inc. in 2018. At that time, Discovery Education was operating a manual spreadsheet-based budgeting
and planning process. The company sought to automate and extract far more information from its data, particularly in terms of HR planning
since this accounts for a significant percentage of its annual expenditure budget. It was also essential for them to rationalize the use of
different exchange rates since Discovery Education operates globally and transacts in different currencies. Decisive points of differentiation
compared with competitors included CCH Tagetik’s implementation strategy, which involved co-building the system with the client’s
finance team, rather than the IT department, and providing case study examples along the way to illustrate best practice and the ability to
evolve with changing needs over time.

New MapleMBSE release from Maplesoft improves workflow of systems engineering
process
25
Maplesoft announced a new release of MapleMBSE, the software that enables companies to employ a Model-Based Systems Engineering
(MBSE) process within their design projects without requiring every stakeholder on the project to be an expert in complex MBSE tools. The
latest release, MapleMBSE 2020, offers improved workflow for creating and documenting models. MapleMBSE provides a streamlined,
Excel®-based interface to the systems model with task-specific views for editing the model directly, thereby ensuring consistent information and
knowledge sharing across the design group. The familiar Excel interface enables subject matter experts to obtain and analyze the information
they need to make decisions, and to feed the results back into the model. By eliminating the need to funnel everything through a small number of
systems engineering tool experts, MapleMBSE democratizes the engineering process and significantly reduces the overhead, time, and errors
that typically come with using a standard systems engineering tool. The new release provides more flexibility in working with the model,
including the ability to view and edit previous revisions of the model easily to support experimentation and “what if” scenarios, to revert
changes and return to a previous state, and to create, view, and modify documentation for model elements for improved transparency and
traceablity. In addition, improved performance means the time to load a MapleMBSE model has been significantly reduced. In addition to
connectivity with Teamwork Cloud from No Magic, which allows customers to seamlessly access models created in a number of different tools,
including MapleMBSE, MagicDraw®, and Cameo® Systems Modeler, the new release also has ability to integrate MapleMBSE with the latest
release of IBM® Rational® Rhapsody, as well as other SysML-based tools.

street rates and the storage industry is in for a continued tough slog,” the report says. Download the Yardi Matrix

process automation across the entire Source-to-Pay suite. With its pioneering technology, the Zycus Contract Metadata Extraction Bot will
enable customers to automate a very manual process and provide a high degree of efficiency and process compliance. The Zycus Merlin
Contract Metadata Extraction Bot has the ability to identify standard metadata (like Contracting Party, Effective Date, Expiry Date,

contracts like commercial and sales contracts, vendor agreements, leases, NDAs, purchase agreements, SOWs, MSAs, etc. The contracts
can be uploaded as machine readable documents or even as scanned images, with a very high degree of accuracy. The Merlin AI BOT is
strongly integrated with the Zycus iContract application and thus allows Zycus customers to run the BOT from the CLM application or
easily take the extracted metadata into Zycus iContract. However, other customers can also leverage the benefits of Merlin to integrate the
extracted data into their non-Zycus contract applications. The Merlin iContract Metadata extraction BOT will have a tremendous impact on

SAP Recognized by Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index for Second Consecutive Year

SAP SE has been selected for inclusion in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI) in 2020, the second consecutive year that the
company has received this recognition. The Bloomberg GEI recognizes companies committed to transparency in gender reporting and
advancing women’s equality. Gender equality is a core company value at SAP and a priority for becoming the most inclusive software
company on the planet and maintaining its competitiveness. SAP set out to increase women in management in 2011 by establishing a
target of having 25 percent women in leadershipby 2017, and 30 percent by 2022. SAP hit its goal of 25 percent women in leadership
six months ahead of schedule in June 2017, and as of December 2019 it reached 26.4 percent. The inclusion in the 2020 Bloomberg
Index follows SAP’s recertification for Economic Dividends for Gender Equality (EDGE), a global standard, in October 2018.
Bloomberg’s Gender-Equality Index uses a standardized reporting framework that provides public companies with the opportunity to
disclose how they promote gender equality in four separate areas: company statistics, policies, community engagement and products
and services. Companies that score above a globally established threshold are included in the GEI. The index helps meet the demand
from a growing number of investors to incorporate environmental, social and governance data into their daily investment decisions.
Currently only 10 percent of eligible companies disclose their workplace gender policies and practices. Over the last few years, the
number of women hired and promoted at SAP, together with the percentage of women in leadership positions across the company, has
been on an upward trend.

TONIK selects Finastra’s core banking solution to power Southeast Asia’s
first pure-play licensed digital bank
45
Finastra announced that TONIK, the first licensed digital-only bank in Southeast Asia, has selected Fusion Essence in
the cloud to power its end-to-end core banking capabilities. The move will support TONIK as it launches its retail
deposit and customer loans services in the Philippines, giving it agility and the ability to scale quickly. The key
proposition for digital banks is providing a customer experience that traditional banks struggle to offer. This requires
modern, cloud-native technology that facilitates innovation whilst future-proofing investment. For TONIK, Fusion
Essence Cloud will be deployed out of the Microsoft Azure Southeast Asia Region (Singapore Data Center), which
will allow for both low latency and data residency. TONIK will benefit from a low cost of entry into the market, ease
and speed of deployment, and the ability to increase business volumes and diversify its product set cost-effectively. It
will also benefit from ongoing software updates and, in time, access to further innovation via FusionFabric.cloud,
Finastra’s platform for open innovation and the development of applications. European neobanks, including
revverbank and Gravity, are already being powered by Fusion Essence Cloud, and this deployment in Southeast Asia
will help bring the benefits of innovative digital banking to the Philippines.

Infor a global leader in business cloud software specialized by industry, announced that Lingtong Exhibition System Co. Ltd. has chosen Infor to be its
eco-friendly partner. Together, they will help raise the bar for environmental sustainability in China’s huge exhibition industry. This will be achieved by

professional company in China to develop and produce exhibition display equipment, Lingtong’s vision is to take “green exhibition service global” and is
committed to “building a green exhibition service ecosystem” worldwide through technology, as well as invest in research and development. Lingtong
provides large-scale exhibition equipment for various industries, comprising quick-to-build, recyclable, safe, and environmentally-friendly materials. The
company is committed to providing customized, environmentally sound construction solutions for different exhibition needs in the future. The continuous

management tools can no longer support the needs of Lingtong’s group operations and business development. Through this partnership, Lingtong and Infor
have pledged to promote better environmental protection and a low-carbon economy, which will help companies embrace green manufacturing. In this
