Big Fish Eats Little Fish

Back in October Sage, an accounting software provider, acquired Criterion, a payroll and human capital management (HCM) software provider. You can read about it on CPA Practice Advisor.

Sage Acquires Criterion for Cloud Payroll and HCM

It reminds me of a big fish eating a little fish in a sense, where one company grows enough to let the stakeholders finally get a nice payoff.

Hopefully that won't mess things up for their current customers.

Another thing I noticed is the marketing promise of "embedding AI into software". As if by doing so makes the software "truly trusted and proactive".

Lots of folks think AI is peachy, but is "trusted" the right word?

All is good however, as they say they will develop and deliver "practical, human-first AI". What a relief!

Wait a second, what is "human-first AI"?
