A ‘channel first’ company, going beyond to further our three-digit-growth globally over the coming years
2020 has been a challenging year for everyone across the globe, including within our own industry. However, during this time, we have seen a significant acceleration in digital transformation projects for organizations throughout the planet. The need for modern digital workplaces has never been so strategic, with every company now needing to refocus time and investments into “how to connect employees.”
This is our core mission at Powell Software, and we are very honored to partner with you daily to achieve this.
A global partner network driving change in 2021 and beyond
With our 70 active partners across the globe covering 35 countries on every continent, we have a clear ambition:
“We aim to make our products easy to use and improve end-user experience. Our ecosystem can help any sized organization to deploy and leverage modern digital workplaces to connect their employees across the 3 unified pillars: Communication, Collaboration and Business Processes”
We have a tremendous opportunity with our entire ecosystem. 2021, is the time to take a step back as IT and Business decision-makers, to think, redesign and build solid digital workplaces. It’s an opportunity to better connect employees, bring structure, governance, and unified tools within this new employee hub, and to unify the three core pillars of the digital workplace.
With Powell Software, for every $1 of Powell license our partners can generate up to $3.5 in incremental services revenue, from consulting, design, and integration to managed services and change management.
To reach our destination we are continuously increasing our investments and resources for our performing partner ecosystem.
