Growing AI and Robotics Solutions Provider MindPetal Streamlines Operations with Unanet ERP GovCon
DULLES, Va., April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Unanet, the leading provider of project-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) for the government contracting (GovCon) industry, today announced that MindPetal has selected Unanet ERP GovCon to modernize its business operations, drive growth, and boost efficiency.
"I spent many hours a month manually managing timekeeping, the general ledger, and forecasting – all in disparate systems and spreadsheets," said Paul Grace, chief financial officer at MindPetal. "That all goes away with Unanet. Now, I save tons of hours with all that information at my fingertips in a single platform, and it's much easier for me to respond quickly to both government and internal MindPetal requests."
With a team of over 150 experts throughout the country, Virginia-based MindPetal provides AI solutions and robotic process automation support to create efficiencies for federal customers, including the Department of Labor and the Department of Homeland Security. In 2023, MindPetal acquired VerticalApps to expand its data and AI capabilities, helping drive rapid growth through new contracts. The company's expansion highlighted multiple challenges with its off-the-shelf ERP software and the need for a more robust, integrated, and mature platform.
With the support of implementation partner Callao Consulting, now GRF CPAs and Advisors, MindPetal assessed several solutions but quickly chose Unanet GovCon ERP for its ability to integrate multiple functions like timekeeping, bookkeeping, and financial reconciliation, as well as provide robust budget reporting and forecasting in one user-friendly platform.
Jennifer Arce, principal at GRF CPAs and Advisors, is a seasoned Unanet expert and appreciates that the Unanet team is always quick to provide answers and information. "Seeing MindPetal significantly reduce the time it takes to do multiple tasks has been one of the biggest successes of implementing Unanet. For example, they've cut labor distribution time from hours to seconds and invoicing from days to hours," said Arce.
As MindPetal continues its phased approach to implementing Unanet ERP GovCon, it looks forward to learning how Unanet can scale with the company's growth plans through features such as Unanet ProposalAI and the new Unanet Growth Suite.

Craft giant Michaels buys Joann's intellectual property, fan-favorite labels
NEW YORK — Craft labels from the now-shuttered fabrics seller Joann are making their way to a new home: Michaels. The Michaels Companies announced on Thursday that it had completed its purchase of Joann's intellectual property and private label brands — in an acquisition that arrives as the Texas-based arts and crafting chain works to expand its own fabric, sewing and yarn offerings. 'We're honored to have the opportunity to welcome JOANN customers into our creative community and are committed to delivering the selection, value, and inspiration they are looking for at Michaels,' Michaels CEO David Boone said in a statement. Advertisement Craft labels from the now-shuttered fabrics seller Joann are making their way to a new home. Christopher Sadowski The deal, he added, allows the company to better 'respond to rising demand' among both new and existing customers. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. The Associated Press reached out to Michaels for further information on Friday. Advertisement With roots dating back to a single Ohio storefront in 1943, Joann had grown into a destination for generations of sewers, quilters, knitters and lovers of other crafts for more than 80 years. But more recently, operational challenges continued to pile up — with the retailer pointing to sluggish consumer demand, inventory shortages and rising competition. Joann announced it would be going out of business back in February, just one month after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for the second time within a year. Advertisement The Michaels Companies announced on Thursday that it had completed its purchase of Joann's intellectual property and private label brands. NurPhoto via Getty Images At the time, the company said financial services company GA Group, together with Joann's term lenders, had been selected as the winning bidder to 'acquire substantially all of Joann's assets' and conduct going-out-of-business sales at all store locations. Michaels on Thursday said that its purchase of Joann's IP and private brands included the acquisition of 'Big Twist' yarns, which had become a staple in Joann stores over the years. Those 'Big Twist' labels are now being developed as part of Michaels' portfolio — and will be available in-stores and online later this year, the company said. Advertisement In the meantime, Michaels has also dedicated a landing page to welcome former Joann customers online. And as part of its overall expansion into fabrics, Michaels said on Thursday that its adding more than 600 new products from new and existing brands — including quilting supplies and fabrics, specialty threads, sewing machines and more. Michaels, founded in 1973, currently operates 1,300 stores across 49 U.S. states and Canada. Its parent company also owns Artistree, a framing merchandise manufacturer.

Gerry Adams's lawyer to pursue chatbots for libel
The high-profile media lawyer who represented Gerry Adams in his libel trial against the BBC is now preparing to sue the world's most powerful AI chatbots for defamation. As one of the most prominent libel lawyers in the UK, Paul Tweed said that artificial intelligence was the 'new battleground' in trying to prevent misinformation about his clients from being spread online. Mr Tweed is turning his attention to tech after he recently helped the former Sinn Fein leader secure a €100,000 (£84,000) payout over a BBC documentary that falsely claimed he sanctioned the murder of a British spy. The Belfast-based solicitor said he was already building a test case against Meta that could trigger a flurry of similar lawsuits, as he claims to have exposed falsehoods shared by chatbots on Facebook and Instagram. It is not the first time tech giants have been sued for defamation over questionable responses spewed out by their chatbots. Robby Starbuck, the US activist known for targeting diversity schemes at major companies, has sued Meta for defamation alleging that its AI chatbot spread a number of false claims about him, including that he took part in the Capitol riots. A Norwegian man also filed a complaint against OpenAI after its ChatGPT software incorrectly stated that he had killed two of his sons and been jailed for 21 years. Mr Tweed, who has represented celebrities such as Johnny Depp, Harrison Ford and Jennifer Lopez, said: 'My pet subject is generative AI and the consequences of them repeating or regurgitating disinformation and misinformation.' He believes statements put out by AI chatbots fall outside the protections afforded to social media companies, which have traditionally seen them avoid liability for libel. If successful, Mr Tweed will expose social media companies that have previously argued they should not be responsible for claims made on their platforms because they are technology companies rather than traditional publishers. Mr Tweed said: 'I've been liaising with a number of well-known legal professors on both sides of the Atlantic and they agree that there's a very strong argument that generative AI will fall outside the legislative protections.' The lawyer said that chatbots are actually creating new content, meaning they should be considered publishers. He said that the decision by many tech giants to move their headquarters to Ireland for lower tax rates had also opened them up to being sued in Dublin's high courts, where libel cases are typically decided by a jury. This setup is often seen as more favourable to claimants, which Mr Tweed himself says has fuelled a wave of 'libel tourism' in Ireland. He also said Dublin's high courts are attractive as a lower price option compared to London, where he said the costs of filing libel claims are 'eye-watering'. He said: 'I think it's absurd now, the level of costs that are being claimed. The libel courts in London are becoming very, very expensive and highly risky now. The moment you issue your claim form, the costs go into the stratosphere. 'It's not in anyone's interest for people to be deprived of access to justice. It will get to the point where nobody sues for libel unless you're a billionaire.' Meta was contacted for comment. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.
