  "account": "Manhattan reported robust cloud revenue growth of 28% year over year during its third-quarter 2026 earnings call on October 27, 2026. The company attributes this success to the adoption of cloud-based solutions by customers transitioning from legacy on-premises systems.\n\nKey takeaways include:\n1. Embedded software tools provide customers with immediate operational benefits without the need for complex external database construction.\n2. Every customer testing the intelligence features has committed to full software access, indicating strong demand for the company's platform.\n3. The company's new software packaging tiers, introduced in Q3, enable smaller supply chains to access the platform while offering larger customers clear upgrade paths, broadening the reachable client market and streamlining sales discussions.\n\nManhattan's strategic focus on system integrators and consulting partners has resulted in a growing indirect distribution network, leading to a more than 4x increase in partner-driven source deals year-to-date compared to the previous year. This momentum is supported by strong cloud performance across all geographic regions, with implementation speed and pricing discipline remaining key competitive advantages for investors. The company's solid business fundamentals and commitment to delivering innovative solutions continue to impress stakeholders.",
