Get free marketing videos from Donald Miller every week at:  https://WeeklySoundbite.com/   Companies love to talk about themselves—how they started, what they value, what makes them different. But your story isn't what sells. In fact, it could be what's holding you back. When your pitch, your website, or your brand story starts with you, your potential customers tune out fast. Why? Because they're not looking for a hero. They're looking for help. And if you don't lead with their problem, they'll find someone else who does. So how do you tell your story in a way that actually connects, converts, and grows your business?   In this episode, Donald Miller unpacks why most businesses fumble their messaging when they lead with their own story, and shows you how to do it right. You'll learn the real purpose of your company's story, exactly when to tell it, and the simple storytelling formula that turns your backstory into a trust-building, revenue-driving asset. If you've ever wondered how to make your origin story matter, this episode shows you exactly how.     --   Click HERE to get in-person help creating your marketing at the next available StoryBrand Your Business LIVE event!   Click HERE to find a StoryBrand certified marketing coach to help you grow your business!   Learn how to make your marketing and messaging work using a proven framework in the updated book, Building a StoryBrand 2.0. Order it now on Amazon  or wherever you buy books!

Send us a textWhen evaluating the CRM category, our analysis intentionally moves beyond CRM modules embedded within ERP systems and instead focuses on best-of-breed CRM platforms and the full spectrum of capabilities that define modern customer engagement. This includes not only core operational CRM functions such as sales force automation and pipeline management, but also upstream marketing automation, downstream customer experience and service workflows, contact center operations, events, search, and the increasing convergence with CMS and website capabilities that anchor the digital customer journey. While vendors may brand these pillars as Sales Cloud, Marketing Cloud, or reposition them around AI- and agentic-workflow narratives, the underlying architecture remains consistent, and strategic orientation matters: some platforms are designed for specific micro-verticals with tightly integrated suites, while others pursue broad horizontal coverage. These choices materially affect extensibility, process design, and long-term fit, particularly across B2B versus B2C use cases, where many CRM systems struggle with complex B2B sales cycles—driving continued demand for low-code and no-code customization and deeper integration across CRM, eCommerce, and CMS ecosystems.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top 10 CRM systems in 2026. He also discusses several variables that influence the rankings of these CRM systems. Finally, he shares the pros and cons of each CRM system.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBLUBdDuWQcRead: https://www.elevatiq.com/post/top-erp-systems/Questions for Panelists?

What if building wealth was not about money but about the life and impact you leave behind? Morgan Nichols believes legacy is not something you build at retirement. It is something you create every day through intentional decisions, values-based planning, and clarity around what truly matters. In this episode of Grow Your Business & Grow Your Wealth, Gary Heldt sits down with Morgan Nichols, CEO and Private Wealth Advisor of LifeBranch Wealth Partners, for a powerful conversation about intentional legacy, business ownership, succession planning, and the emotional side of financial decision-making. Morgan shares her journey into leadership, stepping into business ownership at 31 during one of the most volatile financial markets in modern history. She explains why real financial planning goes far beyond portfolio management and why business owners need coaching, clarity, and long-term strategy to build wealth with purpose. This episode is a masterclass in intentional growth, values-driven success, and creating a legacy that lasts for generations. Five Key Takeaways  - Legacy is built through daily decisions, not just financial outcomes True wealth is measured by the values you live by and the impact you create along the way.  - Business owners need a coach, not just an advisor The best financial planning goes deeper than statements and portfolios. It provides holistic guidance and decision support.  - Intentional planning replaces uncertainty with clarity Strategic planning removes the fog of uncertainty and gives business owners confidence in their future.  - Succession and contingency planning protect your family and your business Preparing for the unexpected ensures your family is protected and your business continues smoothly.  - There is no perfect balance. Only priorities Life is about choosing which priority takes the front seat in each season. Featured Quote “When you have an intentional legacy, it is realizing that all the money in the world does not necessarily add meaning to one's life. It is really all the decisions that you make along the way.” - Morgan Nichols If you are a business owner or professional who wants to build wealth with purpose and create a legacy that lasts, this episode is for you.

Send us a textEnterprise software vendors are tightening execution around AI enablement, workflow depth, and operational recovery rather than pursuing broad platform reinvention. Acquisition activity—from Sage moving to acquire Fyle, to SYSPRO acquiring DATASCOPE, Zendesk completing its acquisition of HyperArc, and Contentsquare acquiring Loris AI—signals a continued emphasis on capability-led expansion tightly aligned to core use cases. In parallel, AI product announcements from NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Zoho, and Zendesk emphasize connectors, agents, and embedded intelligence designed to improve productivity within existing workflows rather than displace them. Finally, the case of AAON underscores the operational reality behind these trends: ERP value is ultimately realized not through announcements or AI features alone, but through disciplined execution, stabilization, and long-term operational turnarounds—particularly in complex manufacturing environments where recovery often matters more than rapid transformation.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories. We covered many grounds including the direction and roadmaps of each enterprise software vendors. Finally, we analyzed future trends and how they might shape the enterprise software industry.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOdEBRue0MMQuestions for Panelists?

Send us a textBefore reviewing the top ERP systems for 2026, it is essential to align on how ERP systems are defined in this analysis: the focus is on individual ERP products, not the vendors that own them. This distinction matters because products within the same vendor portfolio can receive materially different levels of strategic attention, R&D investment, and roadmap momentum, which directly affects long-term viability and customer outcomes. A large enterprise vendor, for example, may maintain a mid-market ERP offering while concentrating innovation on a flagship platform, increasing buyer risk if the selected product is not core to the vendor's strategy. The list, therefore, spans organizations of different sizes and industries and groups systems into generic and prescriptive categories, each with distinct tradeoffs—prescriptive systems prioritizing faster implementations and tighter alignment to defined business models, and generic systems offering broader industry coverage and long-term flexibility. As each system is evaluated, emphasis is placed on size fit, supported business models, suite-centric versus ecosystem-driven integration approaches, and the balance between native functionality and partner-dependent capabilities.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top 10 ERP systems in 2026. He also discusses several variables that influence the rankings of these ERP systems.

What happens when building wealth stops being about returns and starts being about purpose? In this episode of Grow Your Business & Grow Your Wealth, Gary Heldt sits down with Tiffany Irving, Senior Vice President and Wealth Advisor at Mesirow Wealth Management. With more than 25 years of experience, Tiffany explains why modern wealth management must go beyond investments and focus on holistic planning, collaboration, and long-term impact. The conversation dives into exit planning for business owners, common mistakes made when selling a company, the emotional side of succession, and why financial planning should start far earlier than most people think. Tiffany also shares insights on financial literacy, debt management, and the growing importance of purpose-driven investing. Key Takeaways→ Wealth management today is about integrating investments, tax planning, estate planning, and personal goals.→ Business owners should begin exit planning three to five years before selling to maximize value and reduce taxes.→ A collaborative advisory team creates better outcomes than siloed advice.→ Succession planning must address both financial readiness and emotional identity shifts.→ Financial planning is not just for the wealthy and is most powerful when started early. Quote from Tiffany “Wealth management is no longer just about performance. It's about purpose, values, and the impact you want your money to have.” If you are a business owner thinking about growth, succession, or long-term financial clarity, this episode is a must-listen.

In today's episode, I'm talking about one of the biggest shifts you can make as a business owner: moving from doing everything yourself to truly leveraging your time as a CEO. I break down a powerful mindset and structural exercise I use with my mastermind clients to get them out of the day-to-day, create real capacity, and stop building a business that only works if they're constantly in it. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or stuck in client delivery with no space to grow, this conversation will challenge how you see your role, your time, and what it actually takes to build a sustainable, scalable business.

Send us a textERP and adjacent platform vendors are simultaneously deepening vertical specialization, expanding AI distribution, and accelerating ecosystem-led growth. M&A activity from Advantive acquiring PINPoint, SYSPRO acquiring DATASCOPE, and Sage moving to acquire Fyle reinforces a continued focus on capability-driven expansion rather than broad horizontal reinvention. Product and platform updates from Deltek, Rootstock Software, and NetSuite emphasize AI-assisted productivity, localization, and integration flexibility as table stakes for mid-market and upper-mid-market buyers. At the same time, distribution and partnership strategies—such as Pipefy partnering with Oracle, Sage Intacct listing AI agents on AWS Marketplace, and Versori partnering with SYSPRO—signal a broader shift toward ecosystem-led AI adoption, where value is increasingly delivered through connectors, agents, and composable services rather than monolithic ERP releases.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories.

Send us a textBefore reviewing the top ERP vendors for 2026, it is critical to align on what “ERP vendors” actually represent in this analysis: companies, not individual ERP systems. This distinction is essential because most vendors operate multi-product portfolios that span different company sizes, industries, and deployment models, making vendor-level strategy and capital allocation far more predictive of long-term outcomes than isolated feature comparisons. Our evaluation framework, therefore, balances macro forces—such as market share, valuation signals, R&D investment patterns, and acquisition strategy—with micro forces, including product depth, functional coverage, and architectural direction across each portfolio. These dimensions are tightly interconnected; a vendor may have a flagship product that is thriving while adjacent offerings receive limited investment, creating materially different risk profiles depending on which product a buyer selects and how that product fits into the vendor's broader strategic priorities.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top 10 ERP vendors in 2026. He also discusses several variables that influence the rankings of these ERP vendors.

Send us a textAI commercialization and regulatory scrutiny are reshaping the market. Product announcements from SAP, Unit4, Deltek, Sage Intacct, and NetSuite highlight continued investment in cloud distribution, verticalized functionality, and embedded AI—often via hyperscaler marketplaces and agent frameworks—while transactions such as SYSPRO acquiring riteSOFT and Advantive acquiring PINPoint reinforce the ongoing push toward capability-led M&A in manufacturing and asset-centric environments. Partnerships like Pipefy with Oracle reflect the race to operationalize generative AI beyond experimentation, while the antitrust ruling involving SAP and the shareholder investigation into Lamb Weston Holdings serve as a reminder that legal, regulatory, and governance forces remain an active counterweight to rapid innovation.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories.

When you write a book, you're not just sharing your knowledge, you're planting the seeds for long-term growth. Your book can open unexpected doors: attracting ideal clients, boosting your visibility, and positioning you as a trusted authority in your space. But to make that kind of impact, you need more than a finished manuscript—you need a strategy that helps your book connect with the right people and lead them back to your business. That's exactly why I started the Biz Book Pub Hub. It's a free resource where experts, authors, and writers come together to support each other through every stage of the book journey—from blank page to book launch and beyond. You can explore all of it at www.BizBookPubHub.com . Today, I'm excited to introduce two incredible authors: Antonio Valles wrote “Empower Your Presentation Skills: The Confident Entrepreneur's Guide to Grow Your Business,” a hands-on guide for professionals ready to level up their speaking skills and use presentations as a tool for building authority and closing more business. Kathy Sparrow is the author of “Ignite Your Leadership: Proven Tools to Energize Teams, Fuel Momentum, and Accelerate Results,” a book packed with powerful tools and insights to help leaders inspire their teams and create lasting organizational success. Please join me in welcoming Antonio and Kathy.  In this episode, we discuss the following:

Most people are heading into 2026 thinking they need to do more on LinkedIn.- More posts.- More formats.- More features.- More noise.- That's not the move.In this episode, “The Three Priorities You Must Have on LinkedIn in 2026,” I break down what actually drives visibility, engagement, and revenue moving forward, and what you can safely stop overcomplicating.Here's the truth:LinkedIn doesn't reward hustle.It rewards clarity, consistency, and connection.The three priorities every professional needs dialed in are:1. First, your LinkedIn profile.If your profile doesn't clearly communicate who you help, how you help them, and why it matters, no amount of content will convert. Your profile is not a resume in 2026. It's your positioning page.2. Second, who you're connecting with.Growth is not about adding more people. It's about adding the right people, ideal clients and business allies who can lead to conversations, collaborations, referrals, and opportunities. Random connections dilute results.3. Third, and most importantly....your content.Not content for likes.Not content for trends.But content that builds know, like, and trust.Quality content is what turns visibility into credibility.Credibility into conversations.And conversations into revenue.If your content doesn't engage the right audience in the right way, nothing else works.This episode walks through how these three priorities work together as a system, and how to simplify your LinkedIn strategy so it actually supports your business goals in 2026.If you want LinkedIn to stop feeling noisy, unpredictable, or exhausting, start here.Click HERE if you'd like to register for our "Amateur to Expert on LinkedIn" 5-Day workshop from Jan 26th - 30th.

Send us a textDigital transformation trends for 2026 reflect a convergence of sustained macroeconomic pressure and meaningful shifts in enterprise-level decision-making, requiring organizations to adopt a more disciplined, systems-oriented approach to technology and investment. While the external environment is expected to remain broadly consistent with 2025—marked by geopolitical volatility, tariffs, constrained supply chains, and modest economic growth—policy-driven forces around data sovereignty, regulation, and national security are increasingly reshaping cloud strategies, workload placement, and vendor risk exposure. At the same time, relatively stable interest rates reinforce a cautious capital environment where ROI, resilience, and operating efficiency take precedence over experimentation. Against this backdrop, enterprises are re-evaluating architecture, operating models, and software portfolios with a sharper focus on long-term viability, while vendors recalibrate product strategies to align with buyer demands for pragmatic value rather than speculative innovation.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top 15 digital transformation trends in 2026. He also discusses these trends from multiple perspectives, including geopolitical, commercial, and behavioral. Finally, he shares what executives need to do to prepare for these trends.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVvT9ZmFam4Read: https://www.elevatiq.com/post/digital-transformation-trends/Questions for Panelists?

Send us a textAI-native ERP systems are rapidly reshaping the enterprise software landscape by challenging long-standing assumptions about how ERPs are selected, implemented, and evolved over time. As AI becomes embedded directly into configuration, development, and daily workflows, practices once viewed as risky—such as extensive customization, rapid iteration, or even building ERP capabilities in-house—are becoming increasingly viable. Rising commercial software costs are further forcing executives to revisit the traditional buy-versus-build calculus, particularly as AI-first platforms promise faster deployments, more adaptable architectures, and experiences tailored to specific operating models. However, the category remains early, raising critical questions around governance, scalability, reliability, and long-term support. In this context, Everest ERP's AI-first approach offers a practical lens into how AI-native architectures can accelerate time-to-value while redefining what buyers, implementers, and business leaders should expect from ERP systems over the next decade.In this episode, Sam Gupta hosts Sandeep Chopra, co-CEO, Everest, to discuss how AI  impacts ERP strategy for companies.Video: https://www.elevatiq.com/events-and-webinars/your-erp-strategy-is-about-to-break-ai-is-rewriting-the-playbook/Questions for Panelists?

Salesforce's updates to Marketing Cloud Next and Agentforce 3, alongside new capabilities from Cordial and SAP, point to a continued push toward AI-driven engagement, automation, and cloud-native commerce experiences. Strategic acquisitions by Accenture and SYSPRO reinforce the importance of deep industry and manufacturing expertise embedded within digital transformation platforms, while Unit4's ERPx release on Azure and Campfire's Series A funding highlight momentum behind modern, AI-first ERP architectures. At the same time, antitrust scrutiny involving SAP and investor investigations such as the Lamb Weston case underscore the growing governance, compliance, and risk considerations shaping the enterprise technology landscape. Collectively, these developments reflect a market evolving on multiple fronts—technological, structural, and regulatory—at the same time.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories.

Send us a textPublic sector organizations operate under a fundamentally different set of constraints and expectations than their private-sector counterparts, making CRM selection a strategic decision rather than a purely technical one. Before reviewing our Top 10 Public Sector CRMs in 2025, it is important to align on how success is defined in this environment, where accountability, transparency, and service continuity often take precedence over revenue growth or pipeline velocity. Government agencies, municipalities, and public institutions must support complex case management, constituent engagement, regulatory compliance, and multi-year programs, frequently within rigid budget cycles and procurement frameworks. As a result, public sector CRMs must prioritize governance, data security, accessibility, and long-term adaptability, rather than simply replicating commercial sales or marketing use cases.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top 10 Public Sector CRMs in 2025. He also discusses several variables that influence the rankings of these Public Sector CRMs. Finally, he shares the pros and cons of each CRM system.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Rk74lc0LbYRead: https://www.elevatiq.com/post/top-non-profit-crms/Questions for Panelists?

What if paying massive taxes every year wasn't inevitable and what if the wealthiest families in America were playing an entirely different game than you were taught? In this episode of Grow Your Business & Grow Your Wealth, Gary Heldt sits down with Mark Miller, CEO of Hilton Tax & Wealth Advisors and Manager of the Hilton Family Office. With nearly four decades of experience, Mark pulls back the curtain on how elite families legally reduce taxes, protect capital, and grow generational wealth. Mark explains why most business owners unknowingly overpay taxes, why traditional financial planning often fails to meet the needs of high earners, and how real tax planning is a forward-looking strategy, not a year-end scramble. He shares the personal story that changed his entire career when a single strategy saved him over half a million dollars in taxes and ultimately moved him into a zero tax bracket. This conversation is a must-listen for business owners, executives, and six-figure earners who want to stop leaving money on the table and start thinking like an American dynasty. Key Takeaways→ Why most CPAs focus on compliance, not proactive tax planning→ The difference between retail investing and smart money strategies→ How layered tax strategies outperform one-time deductions→ Why buying assets for write-offs is not real tax mitigation→ How wealthy families prioritize safety, patience, and long-term planning→ How institutional-level tax and investment strategies are now accessible to business owners→ Why tax planning must happen before December 31, not after About the GuestMark Miller, RFC, is CEO of Hilton Tax & Wealth Advisors and Manager of the Hilton Family Office. With nearly 40 years of experience, Mark helps business owners and executives legally reduce taxes, maximize deductions, and structure wealth for long term growth and legacy preservation. His strategies mirror those used by Fortune 500 firms and elite families, including the Hiltons.

Significant financings for PhysicsX, Vultr, and Vellum signal strong investor confidence in platforms that support AI-native workloads, applied intelligence, and modern infrastructure, while Capgemini's acquisition of WNS underscores growing demand for large-scale, technology-enabled business transformation services. On the customer and marketing side, deeper integrations and feature expansions from CallMiner, Hightouch, Insight7, Jasper, Oktopost, and Salesforce reflect a shift toward real-time intelligence, personalization, and content automation embedded directly into core CRM and contact center ecosystems.

GovClose Certification Overview: https://www.govclose.com/govclose-certification-programThe "Jab Jab Right Hook" Strategy for Government Contracting SuccessStop chasing contracts with proposals. Start building relationships that WIN contracts. In this coaching call, I break down how relationship-based selling works in government contracting using Gary Vaynerchuk's "Jab, Jab, Right Hook" framework.Most contractors think they need to write better proposals.

Before reviewing our Top Higher Education CRM Systems in 2025, it is essential to clarify how CRM success is defined in this context, where engagement extends far beyond traditional recruitment or advancement functions. Universities must manage complex, multi-decade relationships with prospective students, current learners, alumni, donors, faculty, research partners, and governing bodies, often across decentralized colleges and departments. As a result, higher education CRMs must emphasize lifecycle visibility, data governance, cross-functional coordination, and compliance, rather than narrowly focusing on transactional interactions or short-term conversion metrics.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top 10 Higher Education CRMs in 2025.

What happens when you try to sell a business that isn't ready, and why do eighty percent of companies fail to sell at allThis week on Grow Your Business and Grow Your Wealth, Gary talks with Stephen H. Wagner, CFP, CEPA, CEO of Integrity Wealth Advisors and one of the few financial planners who deeply understand both the emotional and economic sides of money. Stephen brings decades of experience helping business owners navigate growth, long-term planning, and the complex exit path most entrepreneurs don't think about until it's too late. From fiduciary responsibility to devastating business-sale statistics, Stephen breaks down what every owner must know if they want long-term success and a future they won't regret. → Why eighty percent of businesses never sell, and why seventy-five percent of the ones that do sell regret it within a year. 08.28 → How fiduciary advisors legally must put your interests first and why that matters more than ever. 03.26 → The two types of business owners and the financial traps both fall into. 12.53 → How to prepare your business years before an exit to maximize value. 08.28–09.26 → Why emotions and politics ruin financial decision-making and how Stephen teaches clients to stay focused on facts. 18.45 → The real value of a trusted advisor who keeps you invested, organized, and thinking clearly through volatility. 21.22Call to ActionSubscribe to Grow Your Business and Grow Your Wealth for honest conversations that help you build a smarter, more profitable business and a stronger financial future.

Tracking your metrics will not grow your business. Yep… you read that right. Most business owners know they should be tracking their metrics, but here's the problem: most conversations about metrics stop at the spreadsheet. Track this. Monitor that. Check your numbers weekly. As if simply collecting data could magically fix inconsistent sales, burnout, or overwhelm.Today, I'm giving you permission to burn the spreadsheet. We're diving into why this belief is so common, why collecting data often leaves business owners frustrated, and what actually needs to happen for your metrics to truly matter.

What if the only thing standing between you and the next level is the courage to ignore the experts? In this encore episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Kara Goldin, Founder of Hint Water and bestselling author of Undaunted, to reveal what it really takes to build a brand, a company, and a category from the ground up. From rejection and industry pushback to Goliath competitors and well-meaning “experts” who swear your idea won't work, this conversation is a blueprint for staying unshakably committed to your vision, even when no one else understands it. Here's what you'll learn: Why bold ideas are doubted before they're celebrated — and how to push forward anyway How to distinguish genuine insight from the limiting beliefs of others What it takes to stay persistent when you're creating something no one has ever done before If you want a real-world example of what unwavering commitment can create, this episode is it. ---- Show Notes: 04:32 — Why Kara says she never would have started Hint if she knew how difficult the journey would be. 06:34 — What it took to create a completely new beverage category and convince buyers it mattered. 08:57 — The moment a senior Coca-Cola executive dismissed her idea and told her Americans “love sweet.” 12:51 — How Kara learned to separate genuine expertise from limiting beliefs disguised as advice. 16:06 — What watching Ted Turner build CNN taught her about conviction and pursuing ideas others doubt. 22:01 — How giving up Diet Coke for her own health became the unexpected catalyst for creating Hint. 30:56 — How little she actually knew about the beverage industry and why that ignorance helped her innovate. 35:25 — How landing Starbucks became a breakthrough moment that suddenly reversed without warning. 39:07 — Why Kara believes dark days don't last forever and how unexpected opportunities follow adversity.

Product expansions from Deltek, CallMiner, and Hightouch reflect a push to embed advanced analytics, personalization, and contextual intelligence directly into operational systems, while launches from Intellistack and Kognitos highlight growing demand for no-code and neurosymbolic approaches that reduce dependence on scarce technical talent. Strategic transactions such as IFS acquiring TheLoops and Capgemini acquiring WNS signal a broader shift toward end-to-end, AI-enabled business transformation that blends software, services, and domain expertise. At the same time, substantial funding rounds for PhysicsX, Vellum, and Vultr underscore continued investor confidence in platforms that support AI-native workloads, from applied engineering intelligence to workflow orchestration and cloud infrastructure. Collectively, these moves suggest the market is moving beyond experimentation toward integrated, production-grade AI capabilities embedded across the enterprise stack.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories.

Send us a textSelecting the right CRM in the K-12 education sector is less about sales enablement and more about orchestrating complex, long-lived relationships across an entire educational community. Before we present our Top K-12 Education CRMs in 2025, it is important to align on what success looks like in this context—where the “customer” spans students, parents, teachers, administrators, district leadership, and external partners, each with distinct engagement cycles and data needs. K-12 organizations require platforms that can manage enrollment journeys, communications, compliance, and support interactions over many years, often under strict regulatory and budgetary constraints. As a result, CRM selection in this space prioritizes governance, data integrity, and lifecycle visibility over traditional pipeline management or revenue optimization.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top 10 K-12 Education CRMs in 2025. He also discusses several variables that influence the rankings of these K-12 Education CRMs. Finally, he shares the pros and cons of each CRM system.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIIesikgPkoRead: https://www.elevatiq.com/post/top-non-profit-crms/Questions for Panelists?

Send us a textRecent product launches, acquisitions, and funding announcements underscore how rapidly enterprise software and AI platforms are evolving across both horizontal and vertical use cases. Vendors such as Orbit Analytics, Deltek, and Advantive are extending core operational solutions with deeper analytics, compliance, and decision-support capabilities, while companies like Pipefy, Aquant, Kognitos, and Intellistack are pushing AI further into everyday workflows through agents, retrieval-augmented conversations, neurosymbolic reasoning, and no-code automation. Strategic moves like IFS acquiring TheLoops highlight growing demand for AI-driven operational intelligence embedded directly into ERP ecosystems, rather than bolted on at the edges. At the same time, significant growth financings for PhysicsX and Vultr signal continued investor confidence in infrastructure and applied-AI platforms that can support increasingly compute-intensive, industry-specific use cases. Together, these developments point to a market shifting from experimental AI features toward scaled, production-ready capabilities tightly integrated with core enterprise systems.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories.
