There was plenty to celebrate at MYOB Partner Connect 2026, with an outstanding evening recognising innovation, leadership and excellence across the partner network. 

We are proud to share that Momentum Software Solutions received two major honours on the night. These achievements reflect the strength of our team and our ongoing commitment to delivering meaningful results for our clients. 

Momentum Named Partner of the Year Manufacturing

Momentum was awarded Partner of the Year Manufacturing for the second consecutive year, an outstanding achievement for our team.

Manufacturing is a complex and demanding sector. It requires deep understanding of supply chains, production workflows, inventory management and compliance. While many partners choose not to operate in this space, our team embraces the challenge and delivers solutions that genuinely support operational efficiency and long term business growth.

A special acknowledgement goes to Kristian Harianja, Nicholas Wood, Brianna Morrish and our broader consulting team who continue to provide exceptional implementation and support to our manufacturing customers across Australia.

Huge thanks to our manufacturing team who lean into complexity and deliver every day.

Celebrating Leadership: Women in Technology Award

A huge congratulations to Deanne Black, Manager of People, Process and Culture, who was awarded the Women in Technology Award. 

This recognition is incredibly well deserved. 

Deanne has played a vital role in shaping how Momentum operates today. From leading our transition to the cloud six years ago, to driving change management initiatives and successfully implementing our HRIS platforms, her impact has been both strategic and cultural. 

She continues to influence how we grow, adapt and support our team, helping build a strong foundation for long term success. We are incredibly proud to see her recognised on such a significant stage.

Contributing to the Future of the MYOB Ecosystem

We are also proud to recognise Al Emery, Managing Director of Momentum, for his contribution to the Partner Advisory Group by MYOB Acumatica. 

Being part of the Partner Advisory Group reflects Momentum’s active involvement in shaping the future direction of the platform and the broader partner ecosystem. It ensures that real world partner and customer insights help influence innovation and long term product development. 

Words from Our Managing Director

Reflecting on the evening, Al Emery, Managing Director of Momentum Software Solutions, shared:

“Great energy coming out of MYOB Partner Connect. I’m incredibly proud of my sister Deanne Black for being recognised with the Women in Technology Award — so well deserved and a true reflection of the impact she has on our culture and people.
We’re also very proud to win Partner of the Year Manufacturing back to back. Now we’re going for the hat trick this year — pumped, focused and ready to go.”

Looking Ahead

While awards are a wonderful recognition, they are ultimately a reflection of the trust placed in us by our clients and partners.

We would like to thank our clients, our partners and MYOB for their continued collaboration and support.

Momentum remains committed to leading in the manufacturing space, delivering practical solutions for complex environments, and continuing to raise the standard of what great partnership looks like.

We look forward to building on this momentum in the year ahead.
