All channel members can get commissions, along with training programs and certification and services for onboarding and market development. Abbott has held this position for two years so I have to wonder if the new leadership under CEO Charles Phillips has a hand in the new interest in the channel, and I'd say Infor's approach to the channel has been spotty. Abbott's Linkedin page says the company has 1,500 partners, but that's got to be of all stripes. There's not much information out about how many resellers Infor employs. I have a call out to the company's PR contact for more information. But based on past performance, I'm not waiting around.
INFOR STARTS NEW CHANNEL PROGRAM
Infor has established the Infor Partner Network which the company says offers competitive commissions, new performance bonuses, a training program and certification. There is also the normal Market Development Funding offer. According to a statement, Jeff Abbott, VP of global alliances and channels, wants to double Infor's channel revenue over the next three years and the network is a key part of that. Infor is also offering a three-tiered program with associate, silver and gold levels that depend on performance.
