When Alignment Leads to Acquisition: A Business Central Growth Story ~ Shannon Mullins & Pier Lemyre

Описание: In this episode of Coffey Talk, Kate Coffey-Bacon sits down with Shannon Mullins of A BC Consulting Group and Pierre Lemyre of Gestisoft to talk about the human side of an acquisition in the Microsoft Business Central ecosystem.

Rather than focusing on the press release, the conversation explores how relationships, cultural alignment, and shared strategy led two organizations to realize they could build something stronger together. Shannon shares the journey of building A BC Consulting Group and the leadership choices that shaped its culture, while Pierre reflects on Gestisoft’s thirty-year evolution in the Microsoft ecosystem and the decision to expand into North America.
Together, they discuss what made the partnership feel right, the role culture plays in long-term growth, and why the future of Business Central is accelerating faster than many expected.
The conversation also looks ahead to what partners should be preparing for next, including the impact of AI, evolving ERP delivery models, and the growing opportunity in the Business Central market.
This episode is a candid look at leadership, trust, and what it takes to build companies that are meant to last.

Key Takeaways
• Cultural alignment matters as much as strategy in partnerships
• The Business Central market in North America is growing rapidly
• Trust and transparency are essential in acquisition processes
• AI will reshape how ERP implementations and consulting are delivered
• Strategic growth often starts with strong relationships
