Infor targets channel with new appointment

Enterprise software vendor Infor has named Russell Kirby as channel manager for the UK and Ireland.

Kirby, who joins from ERP vendor, Lakeview Software, will focus on growing Infor’s channel sales for ERP and strategic solutions. Infor’s channel currently contributes nearly 25 percent of EMEA licence revenues.

“Infor has a solid, impressive solution portfolio and a compelling proposition for the channel,” says Kirby. “Our products, technology strategy, training and accreditation programmes put us in a very strong position to recruit and develop our channel. Infor has a clear focus on quality rather than quantity to achieve its growth targets.”

“We are delighted to have Russell on board to steer our channel operations in UK and Ireland,” adds Jean Philippe-Pommel, vice president, EMEA channels, at Infor.
