- Written by mark
Socius has signed Maner Costerisan Business Solutions & Technology as a sales affiliate. Socius, a Microsoft Master VAR based in Dublin, Ohio, linked up with the group, which is part of Lansing, Mich.-based accounting firm Maner Costerisan. This is an interesting one because for a brief while, Maner Costerisan seemed to be getting more visible in technology, but this is a step away from a D-I-Y reseller business.

- Written by mark
One change that was made very quietly last fall was when Marc Loupe, CFO of Sage North America, switched jobs. He became EVP of Sage CRM Solutions and Nonprofit Solutions and given the recently announced sales in those areas, it looks like he was in charge of shopping the Fund Accounting line, Act and SalesLogix. Since November, the company has had an acting CFO, Karen Mortham, who was not visible because her picture and name were not posted to the Sage website.

License sales for Epicor Software's ERP operations fell by 26.3 percent for the first quarter ended December 31, compared to results a year ago.

It was always been notable that my 22-year old daughter liked a lot of old music. Not just Led Zeppelin, the Hollies and the Beatles, but Billie Holiday and Louis Armstrong.
