“Our second quarter of fiscal year 2022 is off to a solid start with two consecutive quarters of double-digit growth in our Supply Chain Management segment and a 44% increase in Cloud Services ACV when compared to the same period last year,” said Allan Dow, CEO and president of American Software. “Our backlog as measured by our Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO) increased 58% to $123 million in the second quarter when compared to last year, reflecting a new record for the company. As we head into our seasonally stronger second half, we expect to build upon our momentum as we execute against our growing pipeline and as enterprises increasingly adopt cloud-based supply chain transformation solutions.”

“This past quarter also emphasized that sustainability initiatives are becoming increasingly influential to consumers and, consequently, businesses. Many companies are evaluating their social and environmental initiatives and are finding that a majority of their impact can be traced back to their supply chain practices,” continued Dow. “This is driving companies of all sizes to lean on technology to measure their emissions and identify opportunities for improvement. We believe the future of supply chain sustainability is rooted in transparency, traceability and automation.”
