Jana Miller Schmidt shared thisExcellent analysis from Jeff SchmidtJana Miller Schmidt shared thisI lead a Modern Intelligent Service Provider designed for alternative investment firms and highly regulated industries - ECI. Our clients don’t have the luxury of waiting on AI, and neither do we. We are actively deploying ELLA™, our client-facing AI platform, and ELLA™ IQ, our internal intelligent automation engine, in some of the most challenging operational environments within financial services. In my latest piece for Forbes Technology Council , I discuss why conviction in the AI era is not about choosing a single path, but rather about having the courage to embrace two seemingly contradictory truths simultaneously. #AILeadership #ArtificialIntelligence #FinancialServices #AlternativeInvestments #ManagedServices #DigitalTransformation #MISP #FutureOfWork #ExecutiveLeadership #TechStrategy Richard Itri Jen Falasca (JP) John Panzica Chris Coulthrust Katelin Holloway Kate dos Santos iConnections Jana Miller Schmidt 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ekuii8-M

Jana Miller Schmidt liked thisJana Miller Schmidt liked thisLast week, Sage hosted our first Power Play event in partnership with the LPGA, bringing together a group of women in finance for a day focused on confidence, connection, and community. ⛳🤝 Sage Power Play is built on a simple idea: access creates opportunity. Many business relationships are built on the golf course, and this event was designed to create a space where women in finance could learn the game, build confidence, and connect with one another in a new environment. Throughout the day, customers worked with LPGA professionals, learned the fundamentals of the game, and built relationships with other women leaders across industries. It was a strong example of what can happen when you create space for connection, shared perspective, and community among women who are leading inside their organizations every day. 💚 Sage Power Play will continue in June alongside the U.S. Women’s Open, as we continue building experiences that bring our customers together in meaningful ways. Sage is the Official Finance Software Provider of the LPGA. #LPGA #HighPerformance #Sage Angela Biermann Lauren Gammill Camille Jesmont Marlaina Luciano Becky Payne Jennifer V. Ashley W.

Jana Miller Schmidt reacted on thisJana Miller Schmidt reacted on thisI have the distinct pleasure today of announcing Rillet’s Partner Advisory Board. The accounting profession - and the software that powers it - is at an inflection point. AI isn’t just about improved workflows, it’s redefining the system of record. Today, twenty-two of the most authoritative members of the community are joining us on a journey to reimagine the ERP. They are not just “Advisors.” They are buyers of ERPs. They are the trusted partners of CFOs and CEOs at the most influential companies. They are leaders of pioneering product organizations. Their feedback will directly shape what Rillet builds and how we show up in the market. Their fingerprints will be all over the future that replaces the legacy stack. Together, we will make Zero Day Close a reality. And we won’t stop there.

Jana Miller Schmidt reacted on thisJana Miller Schmidt reacted on thisWe've been working on something big. Today, we're proud to introduce the Rillet Partner Advisory Board. These are the people in the room when CFOs and controllers make some of the most critical decisions in their careers: IPO readiness, finance transformations, ERP migrations. And now they're helping us shape the future of finance. Our PAB brings together 22 hands-on, tech-forward accounting and finance leaders. In addition to advising on our roadmap, they're defining what AI in finance and accounting actually looks like in practice. Here’s why this matters: → Firms advising your CFO are part of our feedback loop → Product decisions get tested against real-world accounting workflows → We're building the future of finance with the experts living it Welcome to the PAB. We're just getting started. Ally Gehre - Armanino • Ana K.

Jana Miller Schmidt liked thisJana Miller Schmidt liked thisI’m convinced 90% of an MSP CEO’s job is to just do these five things: 1 - Be relentlessly optimistic (leaders bring the weather) 2 - Make sure you have the right gauges on the plane (culture of transparency) 3 - Confirm every team member knows where their “goal posts” are (absolute accountability) 4 - Push everyone to move faster (high sense of urgency) 5 - Make it crystal clear what to work on (ruthless prioritization) Focus on these five things and great things will happen!

Jana Miller Schmidt reacted on thisJana Miller Schmidt reacted on thisWe’d like to introduce Raiz. Finance leaders are expected to drive growth and act as a strategic partner to their business. Today, they're stuck with ERPs built 20+ years ago and closing the books takes weeks - held together with spreadsheets and a team stretched thin. Most finance teams would admit they need a better system but have seen what ERP transitions look like. Six to twelve months. Blown budgets. A new tool that's just as painful as the old one. We believe finance shouldn't slow your business down. Raiz helps growing companies replace legacy ERPs with Rillet, the AI-native ERP built for modern finance teams. We implement and manage finance systems that close books faster, eliminate manual work, and scale with the business. Our full story is coming soon - follow our LinkedIn page to stay in the loop. And if your ERP is holding you back, we'd love to talk: https://lnkd.in/gFD3DhpJ
