Intelligent Accounts Payable Platform Glean AI Announces $10.8M of Funding


An Intelligent Accounts Payable platform, Glean AI

Glean AI – an Intelligent Accounts Payable platform

Right off the bat, we were able to identify opportunities for savings without spending hours in spreadsheets crunching numbers. Our entire leadership team was blown away by the impact. We estimate saving 50% an FTE in monthly time savings.

Glean AI, the intelligent accounts payable company, announced today that it has raised $10.8 million in seed financing from Contour Venture Partners (lead investor), Amex Ventures, Infinity Ventures, B Capital Group, Portage Ventures, Parameter Ventures, and several other prominent venture funds and angel investors. The funding will enable Glean AI to accelerate its growth and industry-leading spend intelligence technology.

“Today we’re excited to share details on Glean AI, the first truly strategic accounts payable (AP) platform that helps companies save money through deep insights and automation,” said Howard Katzenberg, Founder and CEO of Glean AI. “Since adding our first customer in June 2021, we’ve helped businesses understand, optimize, and uncover savings insights on over $500 million in vendor spend by using machine learning that analyzes deal terms, line-item purchases, redundant offerings, and negotiation opportunities. We’re just getting started and excited to partner with our amazing set of investors to accelerate our mission of powering Finance teams to spend intelligently.”

Prior to Glean AI, Katzenberg served as the CFO at both Better.com and OnDeck.

Companies lack visibility into their vendor spend

Recent research suggests that 82% of small business failures are due to poor cash-flow mismanagement. Contributing to this is the fact that traditional accounts payable solutions do not provide critical information that can help Finance teams monitor and optimize their companies’ spend and better manage cash flow.

According to Glean AI, an estimated 14% of invoices contain billing errors, and 11% of vendor spend could be reduced with greater scrutiny of invoices and billing relationships. This translates into $130B wasted annually, just for small and medium sized businesses.

“Accounts payable is a $40 billion market opportunity, yet current leading solutions have not evolved beyond mostly just processing payments. Glean AI is positioned to disrupt this important area by building in the intelligence that saves customers significant time and money while also helping Finance teams to make more strategic and informed decisions. Howard has seen this hole in the market first hand as CFO of multiple companies. As a result, the Glean AI team is building precisely what Finance teams need, which has driven early success and adoption,” added Matt Gorin, Managing Partner and Co-Founder, Contour Venture Partners.

Announcing Glean AI: pioneering Intelligent AP

Glean AI is the 1st Intelligent AP solution, combining smart automation with spend intelligence. Glean AI is the only platform that analyzes line-item data and uses powerful algorithms to understand cost, value, purchasing trends, and opportunities for savings, all while helping companies pay invoices faster and cut out significant manual work. As a result, Glean AI’s customers estimate they can save over 10% on their annual vendor spend and automate the equivalent of ½ a full-time employee’s time on a monthly basis.

“One of the largest pain points for the businesses we work with is that there hasn’t been a way to understand and control spending that happens outside of expense cards. We invested in Glean AI because they make it easy for businesses to dig into their invoiced spend and uncover potentially wasteful spend in a way that has not been possible before,” said Margaret Lim, Managing Director, Amex Ventures.

With Glean AI, customers not only get unmatched accounts payable automation functionality, but also timely spend insights (called ‘gleans’) that uncover where they may be overspending, analysis that is extremely unique in scope as well as powerful.

“Adopting Glean AI was a game changer for us,” said Elisa Rodriguez, Sr. Manager of FP&A for Orum, a current Glean AI customer. “Right off the bat, we were able to identify opportunities for savings without spending hours in spreadsheets crunching numbers. Our entire leadership team was blown away by the impact. We estimate saving 50% an FTE in monthly time savings already and have caught several billing issues that would not have been uncovered but for Glean AI.”

About Glean AI:

Glean AI is an Intelligent AP platform and is the first spend solution to combine smart automation with spend intelligence. Armed with relevant context into vendor relationships, detailed insights into cost drivers, and actionable recommendations to avoid overspending, Finance teams using Glean AI drive profitable spend decisions and power their businesses to grow more intelligently.

ChannelPro Survey Reveals IT Solution Providers Forecast Higher Revenues and Profits


The ChannelPro 2022 State of the Channel Survey finds that a majority of managed service providers, VARs, and IT solution providers are bullish about the year ahead, as revenues and profits continue a steady recovery from the impact of a two-year global pandemic.

According to the annual survey, which offers the technology industry’s most authoritative view of trends and attitudes among providers of IT services to small and midsize businesses, 40% of participants had higher revenue in 2021, up from 35% in 2020, and 42% had higher profits, up from 37%.

Other financial and revenue highlights include:


  • 64% of respondents anticipate greater revenue in 2022 and 60% predict greater profit
  • 69% believe market conditions will be better for their own company this year, and 35% think they’ll be much better
  • 73% predict higher IT spending by their customers this year
  • 46% believe their personal income will be up in 2022 (versus 30% a year ago)

“This year’s data suggests that the indisputably indispensable role technology now plays in the world of hybrid work and digital everything has translated to boom times for channel pros, many of whom see even boomier times ahead,” says Rich Freeman, ChannelPro executive editor.

The ChannelPro 2022 State of the Channel Survey also reveals some industry trends:

Managed Services. Nearly three-quarters (73%) of respondents provide at least some managed services, versus 64% last year. Managed services account for half or more of annual revenue for 34% of respondents, up from 20% a year ago, and 51% expect even more of their revenue to come from managed services in 2022.

Security. Among respondents, 80% offer anti-virus, anti-spam, network protection, or other security services, up from 63% in last year’s survey, and 23% call margins on security services high vs. just 18% previously.

Cloud. The need to support work-from-home models continues apace, with 77% of respondents offering WFH services in 2021 versus 67% a year before. In addition, 61% offer Microsoft 365 licensing, a double-digit uptick, and 62% provide cloud consulting, deployment, and migration assistance, up from 58% last year. Despite that, however, cloud services continue to contribute little to the top line, with three-quarters of respondents getting less than 25% of their revenue from the cloud.

Hiring and Salaries. Respondents are well aware they’ll have to pay new hires and existing staff more generously this year. Half expect to pay technicians more (versus 31% in last year’s survey), 44% expect to pay salespeople more, and 30% expect to pay administrative staff more.

“The ChannelPro Network audience reflects the pulse of the industry, and this year’s annual survey results show that the heartbeat of the channel is strong and healthy,” says Michael Siggins, president and publisher of The ChannelPro Network.

The ChannelPro 2022 State of the Channel Survey was conducted online from September to October 2021, and was open to everyone in The ChannelPro Network email database. For more results and analysis, go to http://www.channelpronetwork.com

STAR Launches the Next Generation of STAR XML BOD Repository


STAR logo

“As we look towards developing the next generation of automotive technical standards, we must improve our existing ones,” noted Rafael Maldonado, chairman of STAR Standard.

The Standards for Technology in Automotive Retail (STAR), automotive’s leading IT standards organization, announced today the launch of STAR6 for the Parts domain of retail auto dealerships. This launch is based on a year-long collaborative effort to consolidate best practices established by STAR’s members- OEM executives, retail automotive Dealer Principals, representatives from the National Automotive Dealers Association (NADA), and leading technology providers.

“As we look towards developing the next generation of automotive technical standards, we must improve our existing ones,” noted Rafael Maldonado, chairman of STAR Standard. “There’s a vital need to help businesses with this, especially as new requirements emerge in the ever-changing industry landscape. This is exactly what the next generation of the STAR XML is all about. We are excited to provide this new standard to the ecosystem and look forward to hearing from members and other organizations as they collaborate to help dealers deliver the best user experience to their customers.”

STAR6 removes deprecated and duplicate attributes commonly found, while harmonizing design patterns and components for use across various BODs. It is the result of 35 refactored XML BODs and the optimization of STAR common components. Among the refactored automotive XML BODs that will now be using STAR6 are: acknowledge parts, get parts, change parts, cancel parts, notify parts, process parts, propose parts, respond parts, show parts, and sync parts across all actions of related codes for: inventory, invoices, orders, price lists, master lists, and shipments.

“At Volvo CE, we have already begun using STAR6 for new dealer integration services we build. After actively participating in the development of STAR6, we are excited to see its simpler and more consistent BODs cut development time both for us and our DSP partners”, said Anders Puwant, Head of APIs and Integration Framework at Volvo Construction Equipment. “Feedback collected while working with our first full implementation of STAR6, for a parts ordering project in India, has also shown it to provide better support for global implementations. The new version comes with improved localization handling and also uses the latest versions of OAGIS and UN/CEFACT.”

The new STAR6 XML release is now available worldwide to any businesses who want to download it. STAR is continuing similar collaborative work on refactoring efforts across automotive credit, vehicle, and sales codes throughout 2022. For more information on joining STAR or to learn more about accessing STAR6, contact Paco Escobar, Enterprise Data Architect, at: mailto:pescobar@starstandard.org [pescobar@starstandard.org __title__ null].

TriggerMesh Announces Broad Support For Knative, Newest CNCF Project


TriggerMesh Announces Broad Support For Knative

The record Kubernetes and container adoption reported in CNCF’s most recent survey makes now a great time for enterprises to embrace Knative. – Mark Hinkle, TriggerMesh co-founder and CEO

Coinciding with Knative joining CNCF as an Incubating Project, TriggerMesh today announces broad support for Knative. Knative joining CNCF benefits the project, all its users and developers, and the cloud-native community at large. To accelerate the adoption of Knative, today TriggerMesh also announced that it will hold a virtual Knative InstallFest on April 26. Interested Kubernetes users can sign up to receive more details here.

“The record Kubernetes and container adoption reported in CNCF’s most recent survey makes now a great time for enterprises to embrace Knative,” said TriggerMesh CEO Mark Hinkle. “In five minutes and nine commands, a Kubernetes user can have Knative installed and be ready to extend their cloud native infrastructure and approach to the application layer. Enterprises focused on application modernization, standardizing DevEx around cloud native, and baking serverless and event-driven approaches into their next gen stack need to take a close look at Knative as a key enabling tech.”

For modern enterprise technology teams, TriggerMesh simplifies and accelerates connecting applications and data across multiple clouds and on-premises data centers. The TriggerMesh approach to integration is very similar to the way “infrastructure as code” solutions such as Ansible, Chef, HashiCorp, and Puppet use to deploy infrastructure by DevOps teams. The TriggerMesh free and open source integration platform allows cloud operators and DevOps practitioners to deploy integrations as codeTM, which dramatically accelerates time to value and improves flexibility compared with typical integration platforms-as-a-service (IPaaS) solutions. For these reasons we believe TriggerMesh is the best iPaaS for Kubernetes.

Recently, TriggerMesh announced the launch of the TriggerMesh Integration Platform as an open source project for building event-driven architecture, available under the Apache Software License 2.0. Commercially, TriggerMesh provides support and services as well as a graphical user interface that offers a visual integration editor, enterprise authentication and authorization with organizational support, and the capability to develop custom integration components.

About TriggerMesh

TriggerMesh simplifies building event-driven applications using data and events from any platform and cloud service. Applying the concepts of “infrastructure as code” to application integration, cloud operators and DevOps practitioners use TriggerMesh to build event-driven integrations. TriggerMesh accelerates time to value, codifies application and data flows in an enterprise platform, and supports the move to an event-driven enterprise.
