FP Markets: The era of forward guidance coming to an end

Published

on

LIMASSOL, Cyprus, July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The European Central Bank (ECB) Sintra forum recently took place between 29 June and 1 July, and welcomed several key central banking officials who each steered clear of previewing where interest rates are headed.

Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman Kevin Warsh, ECB President Christine Lagarde, Bank of England (BoE) Governor Andrew Bailey, and Bank of Canada (BoC) Governor Tiff Macklem presented a united front against forward guidance, calling for a coordinated rethink of how they engage with markets.

Warsh – a longtime advocate of Fed reform – explicitly declined to offer guidance at his first press conference as Chairman on 17 June and further buried that idea at the ECB forum. He noted that pre committing to a particular path leaves the central bank in a difficult position when conditions shift – a view shared by many of his global peers.

ECB’s Lagarde expressed similar reservations, saying she had felt ‘bound and compelled’ by guidance in the past. BoE’s Bailey echoed Lagarde’s concern, stating that ‘forward guidance becomes quite problematic over time’, and added that it is ‘much easier to put in place than it is to take away’. BoC’s Macklem joined his peers, shifting towards the view that giving markets a highly prescriptive runway is no longer viable.

Although there was consensus, Lagarde stated that the ECB’s shift would offer greater transparency on how the central bank interprets incoming data, rather than an outright shift away from guidance – a practice she referred to as ‘framework guidance’.

FP Markets Chief Market Analyst Aaron Hill commented: ‘The move away from explicit forward guidance that I – and many investors – have become accustomed to over the years means that we have effectively reverted from a Bernanke transparency framework to a Greenspan era. With policymakers adopting this new way of communicating, market participants will be left with a situation in which the focus shifts to raw data. Naturally, in the absence of guidance, we will have to guess how a central bank may react to incoming data, which will increase volatility around tier-1 event risk’.

AttivoERP Emerges as a Unified Force in Full-Service ERP — Covering Every Stage of the Business Journey

Published

on

By

The consolidation of The Attivo Group and AttivoERP into one unified brand marks a new chapter — one partner, one mission, every stage of the ERP journey.

CONYERS, Ga. and IRVINE, Calif. and PROVIDENCE, R.I. and PITTSBURGH, July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AttivoERP, a full-service Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) consulting and implementation firm serving manufacturers, distributors, and small to mid-sized growing businesses, today announced the unification of its brand under a single identity: AttivoERP.

This move brings together several decades of consulting expertise and ERP specialization into one team, one brand, and one mission, supporting clients across every stage of the ERP lifecycle.

When the company was founded, it deliberately positioned itself as a consultancy rather than simply a software vendor. This reflected its commitment to working with clients from the very beginning of their software purchasing journey, helping them assess needs, make informed decisions, and achieve successful outcomes. Over time, Attivo has evolved well beyond its original role. While ERP implementation remains a core area of expertise, the company now plays a much broader role in supporting organizations through their digital transformation journeys, delivering a wide range of solutions and services that help businesses modernize, innovate, and grow.

One Partner, Every Stage of the ERP Journey

AttivoERP now steps forward as a single, unified partner offering full-service ERP support from first evaluation through long-term optimization.

The company works across many of the industry’s leading platforms, including:

AcumaticaMicrosoft Dynamics 365 Business CentralOracle NetSuiteSAP Business OneEnterpryzeExact Globe+

AttivoERP’s full-service offering spans the entire ERP lifecycle, including:

ERP Selection: Helping businesses identify the right platform for their needs.Implementation: End-to-end deployment support.Training: Through the Attivo Academy resource.Support: Provided through the Attivo TotalCare program.Optimization: Ongoing system refinement as businesses grow.ERP Recovery: Rescuing stalled or troubled implementations.Legacy System Support: Including Macola, Sage 100, Exact, and Dynamics GP.Cloud Hosting: Through the dedicated Attivo Cloud Hosting.Specialized Integrations & Industry Add-Ons: Tailored to specific verticals and workflows.

“Today’s businesses require more than software support—they need a trusted advisor who understands their goals and helps them continuously improve,” said Len Reo, President & Founder of AttivoERP “Our brand relaunch, new website, and reinforces our commitment to innovation and to helping clients achieve lasting ERP success.

“The refreshed brand reflects AttivoERP’s evolution from a traditional ERP reseller and implementation partner into a strategic advisor focused on helping organizations achieve long-term business success through the alignment of people, processes, and technology.

“Len Reo, President & Founder of AttivoERP continued, “Whether a business is choosing their first ERP system or optimizing one they’ve run for a decade, they’re working with the same team, the same standards, and the same commitment to their success as when we first launched. This unification simply makes that visible from the outside.”

More Than Three Decades in the Making

AttivoERP’s roots trace back to 1992, when the company was founded as The Attivo Group — a consulting firm built around a simple idea: helping businesses run better. As ERP solutions became increasingly central to that mission, the business evolved, adopting the AttivoERP identity roughly six years ago to reflect the growing software and implementation focus.

Today, AttivoERP emerges as a unified whole: one brand, one presence, one team that has always worked toward the same goal, even under different names. This unification reflects 34 years of continuous improvement through more platforms, deeper expertise, and a growing team and partner network built around client success.

After more than three decades of growing, adapting, and expanding what we’re capable of, we’re stepping into the market as one unified brand, because that’s what we’ve become,” Reo added.

What’s New Alongside the Launch

The brand unification arrives alongside several new developments:

A new brand identity and unified website, launching this summer at attivoerp.com.AI-powered implementation and migration tools, designed to make ERP projects faster, more accurate, and more affordable.Attivo TotalCare, formalized as a new subscription offering within AttivoERP’s full-service approach.

The launch of AttivoERP.com provides a modern digital experience where clients and prospective customers can access solutions, resources, industry expertise, and educational content designed to maximize the value of their ERP investments.

“A unified brand needed a unified digital presence to match,” said Marla Malkin, VP of Marketing at AttivoERP. “Our new website and identity are built to make it immediately clear who we are and how we can help, no matter where a business is in their ERP journey.”

“For our team, this launch is more about how we show up for clients going forward,” said Emily Perez, Marketing Manager at AttivoERP. “Clients will see one consistent brand at every touchpoint, from the first conversation through years of ongoing support.”
