Better Know a Sponsor: Corcentric


Since 1998, Corcentric has revolutionized how the world’s largest organizations manage and protect their financial assets through cloud-based financial process automation solutions. The group connects deep expertise with best practices to create ground-breaking Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable automation solutions which enable organizations to reduce costs, streamline processes, and provide unmatched visibility to assist executives in making critical business decisions.

The City of Charlotte has been a major source of inspiration and insight for Corcentric!  As one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas and powerhouse for booming commercial and economic activity, Charlotte is leading the way through its commitment to sound fiscal management by mandating balanced operating budgets in the state constitution.

Corcentric values opportunities to engage, share, and learn from like-minded professionals.  They are excited to sponsor Ignite Charlotte 5 because the event provides “valuable business insight from a diverse array of community thought leaders.”  The Corcentric team loves the Ignite format and that information is “not trapped within the confines of lengthy presentations and industry jargon.” “Participants walk away with the most valuable details to create inspired, innovative products and solutions, which is a core value to Corcentric!”

In addition to sponsoring Ignite Charlotte 5, Corcentric sponsors some reports and webinars hosted by Charlotte-based reach and consulting firm PayStream Advisors. They also sponsor numerous tradeshows and Webinars across the Accounts Payable/Receivable domain each year. Corcentric is headquartered in McLean, VA with offices in Cherry Hill and Fairfield, NJ; Atlanta, GA; Oakbrook Terrace, IL; and Coral Springs, FL.

We’re excited to have Corcentric as an Ignite Charlotte 5 sponsor.

Better Know a Sponsor: Viddlz


Zerrick Bynum founded Viddlz in 2011 to create a community for home-based bakers to sell their goods, share recipes, and connect. Viddlz’s logan “Let’s Food Together” reflects its goal to bring people together – from the farmers that grow ingredients, to the bakers whose families have always raved about their peach cobbler, to the community that wants to support local home-based bakers and share recipes.

In addition to his passion for food, Zerrick has a passion for people and learning. “I think civil discourse is fundamental to a thriving democracy. It helps develop critical reasoning skills and fosters diversity in thought,” says Bynum. For this reason, he decided to sponsor Ignite Charlotte 5. “These characteristics are key to building a thriving and sustainable local community, and they also represent Viddlz’s Values and Principles.”

Zerrick sees the proliferation of food trucks and local food as evidence of an increasing openness and willingness to venture outside the “common and expected.” He feels enlightened by this trend and sees it in many forms: independent, non-denominational worship and man-made playgrounds like the U.S. National Whitewater Center.

In addition to supporting Ignite Charlotte 5, Viddlz also sponsors BarCamp.

Welcome aboard Viddlz.
