Infor kicks off UK partner recruitment campaign

Enterprise software vendor Infor has today announced plans to increase its EMEA channel partners by 20 percent by mid-2010.

The recruitment will focus on seven countries, including the UK where Infor is seeking partners for its Performance Management (PM) and Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) solutions.

Infor EAM helps companies save time and money through optimising planned and preventative maintenance resources, improving staff productivity, and enabling efficient inventory management of spare parts and production machinery.  Infor PM combines the strengths of financial performance management and business intelligence to create true closed-loop performance management.

“Our approach to channel recruitment is totally focused on quality over quantity,” says Jean-Philippe Pommel, VP, EMEA channels, Infor. “We are not looking to take on thousands of partners and risk dilution of our focused approach, but a smaller number of partners who are well aligned with our products and company ethos.”

Infor recruited 50 EMEA partners during 2009. Infor’s channel partners contribute 24 percent of global licence sales.
