Infor, a leading provider of business application software serving more than 70,000 customers, has announced that 163 new channel partners joined the Infor Partner Network (IPN) in 2013, with 49 new resellers in EMEA alone. The growth of Infor’s channel has picked up significant momentum, with 48 percent more new resellers added than the previous year. With recently released innovations such as Infor Rhythm, UpgradeX and Infor Dynamic Enterprise Performance Management (d/EPM), partners are choosing Infor to provide their customers with business applications that are beautiful, usable and specialized by industry.
“We have launched several programs this year designed to help partners establish new revenue streams for their business and better align with Infor’s overall messaging and strategy,” said Jeff Abbott, senior vice president, Global Alliances and Channels, Infor. “Infor is committed to developing mutually beneficial relationships with partners, and by continuing to establish new connections in countries around the world, we are helping our customers to better address their unique regional and local challenges.”
Leading firms such as AcumenERP, Aspect LLC, Inforlogic Limited and NuVista Technologies are joining the IPN to benefit from recently launched initiatives for partners including the new Micro-vertical Products Program (MVPP) and the IPN Digital Edge. The MVPP allows partners to build their own industry-specific applications using Infor Mongoose, which enables users to easily design and deploy applications without knowledge of complex programming languages. Additionally, the IPN Digital Edge is a platform that helps partners maintain the latest Infor product information on their websites, allowing the partner community to replicate designated infor.com features and content on their own websites in real-time.
“We chose to join the IPN because it is clear that Infor highly values its partners and is consistently looking for new ways to strengthen the reseller program,” said G. T. “Toby” Stansell, president and chief operating officer, AcumenERP. “With leading innovations like Infor Ming.le and the Infor10x platform, collaborating with Infor also gives us the opportunity to work directly with applications that are changing the way work is done across multiple industries.”
