Channel partners receive high praise for achievement in business development, technical expertise, product contributions, implementation success, and customer support and satisfaction
xTuple, a leader in technology-agnostic open source business management software, continues to develop the industry's strongest channel program. Showcasing the success of the firms already in the program, xTuple recently honored its Partners of the Year at PartnerCon15.
The overall Partner of the Year distinction was awarded to Charles Schley (pictured here) of U.S.-based ERP Implementation Consulting Group (ERPICG). In honor of a beloved partner and friend, this coveted distinction is now known as 'Partner of the Year — Dan Means Memorial Award.' xTuple CEO Ned Lilly presented the 2015 Partner of the Year Award to Mr. Schley via conference call due to a last-minute schedule change. His associate, Andrea Knight, accepted on behalf of ERPICG.
“Congratulations to all of our partner award winners; we are thrilled with their accomplishments and the key role they play in xTuple's customers’ success,” said Danielle Kerner, xTuple director of partner channel development.
