Ultimus Ignites Partner Momentum with Accelerated Training Events and New Director of Channel Development
Ultimus Offers Partners the Opportunity to Strategically Expand
Their Business to Meet the Increasing Demand For BPM solutions
CARY, N.C.--(Business Wire)--
Ultimus, a leading provider of Business Process Management (BPM)
and workflow software and solutions, with more than 1,800 customers
worldwide, today announced the formation of a unique Accelerated
Partner Training program. The company also announced the addition of
Kyle Moll as director of North American Channel Development. Today's
announcements follow the successful completion of its recent Partner
"Jam Session" - a launching pad for developing strategic
relationships, initiatives and events designed to greatly reduce the
time-to-value for new partners.
"This is an exciting time for Ultimus as we commit to helping our
network of partners throughout the world expand their business
offerings by aligning industry and technology expertise to meet
increasing demand," said Richard Davis, CEO, Ultimus. "Ultimus
partners are developing margin-rich revenue streams and diversifying
from their competition by extending current business applications and
integrating silos of technology with our best-of-breed BPM-based
solutions."
Ultimus recently held a highly-successful two-day Partner Jam
Session for US-based partners who gathered for product demonstrations,
presentations, training, technical insights, and lessons learned.
"I really enjoyed meeting the team, having a chance to interface
with other partners and getting an opportunity to dig into Version 8,"
said Jason Webster, Senior Consultant at Concerta Consulting, Inc.,
Ultimus partner. "Everyone from Ultimus was very enthusiastic, easily
approached and seemed genuinely interested in our questions, input and
feedback. The Jam was well-focused and structured, providing a good
mix of high-level and detailed information."
An overview of the value-added differentiators of Ultimus Adaptive
BPM Suite V8 was a major focus of the session. Attendees provided
feedback and shared insight into some of the most notable V8 features
which drive accelerated deployment, including:
-- Enhanced, out-of-the-box integration with Microsoft(R)
SharePoint
-- A new XML data storage model which facilitates access to
business level data and sharing of this data across
information systems
-- More scalable BPM implementations utilizing enhanced Ultimus
web services platforms and SOA architecture
-- Faster business process design and easier process
administration
"We greatly appreciated the opportunity to discuss our successes
with Ultimus in such a unique and collaborative environment," said
Eric Ritchie, Senior Workflow Specialist of Streamline Health (NASDAQ:
STRM). "With Ultimus, we are able to provide our customers with
adaptable BPM services for growing business needs and exceptions -
revolutionizing the idea of software-as-a-service to true
solutions-as-a-service."
Building on the success of this V8 Partner Jam Session, Ultimus
will host a similar training event in Panama City, Panama May 19-21st
at the Hotel Continental for its Latin American partners. Partner
University will focus on V8 education and awareness, as well as
testimonials from customers Banco Nacional de Panama and Global Bank.
EMEA partners will attend the fifth annual Ultimus PartnerAlliance
Roundtable on May 30th directly after the Ultimus EMEA BPM Conference
2008 at Hotel Kempinski, Munich Airport, Germany.
"By supporting broad-based industry standards, we're able to offer
the best combination of technologies in both integration and
deployment," added Davis. "I walked away from our two-day partner
session with renewed appreciation for our partners and I look forward
to working with them to make V8 our most successful Ultimus release
yet."
To ensure even stronger partner support going forward, Ultimus
also announced the hiring of Kyle Moll as its director of North
American Channel Development. Moll joins Ultimus with 20 years of
high-growth channel development success. Most recently he served as
vice president, Channel Sales for Sparta Systems, Inc., where he
established a strategic partner program, working closely with Sparta's
resellers and certified solution providers to support all aspects of
the relationship.
