Above All strengthens channel with
the additions of Good Technology, Siebel, and broad set
of solution partners
SAN MATEO, CA, April 18, 2005—Above
All Software, a provider of award-winning business
integration software, today announced the launch of its
Global Partner Program, designed to provide customers
with highly functional composite applications that
leverage an underlying service-oriented architecture (SOA).
Program members include industry leaders Good
Technology, Siebel, Microsoft, NEON Systems,
salesforce.com, Remedy, Systinet, Daugherty Business
Systems and MW2 Consulting.
Combined with Above All's
market-leading Composite Application Platform, the
program accelerates customer deployments and broadens
Above All's market reach and service offerings in the
composite application infrastructure market. The new
program supports the partner community throughout the
entire sales lifecycle with offerings such as technical
and sales training, joint marketing programs, and
support services.
"We've seen tremendous interest from
customers in creating value from their SOA through
composite applications," said Jon Temple, CEO of Above
All Software. "Partners are an integral part of our
success and this program exemplifies Above All's ongoing
dedication to assisting market-leading partners increase
their market presence and profitability."
Above All has structured the program
to provide different types of partners the appropriate
resources to maximize their success with the Above All
Composite Application Platform. The program includes
three distinct partner categories:
-
Solution Partners – Companies
that provide integration, consulting and reselling
services in conjunction with the Above All platform.
-
OEM Partners – Companies that
bundle or embed Above All’s products as part of a
packaged offering.
-
Technology Partners – Companies
that complement Above All’s software, including
those providing enterprise application software and
core platform technologies.
Solution Partners
The program is designed to provide
system integrators and professional services providers
with the tools and support needed to enhance success in
delivering SOA-based composite applications. Above All
currently has more than 20 solution provider partners,
including Catalytic, Collective Intelligence, Daugherty
Business Solutions, Innoveer, Merlin, MW2, MW Advisors,
Portal Dynamics, Red Sky, and Theikos. The program adds
value for the partners through funded co-marketing,
monthly training webinars, and joint business planning.
"Through this new partner program,
Above All allows us to fully leverage the work we do
with our enterprise customers as they adopt and take
advantage of an SOA," said Jeffrey Schlitt, Principal
Consultant, Daugherty Business Solutions. "The
combination of Above All software and our value-added
services help our customers realize business value via
the rapid time to market of their composite
applications."
OEM Partners
OEM partners embed and bundle Above
All software with their solutions to extend the power of
their offerings. OEM-based composite solutions have wide
applicability in the marketplace, including solution
areas that span mobile technologies, contact center
solutions and financial applications. For example, Good
Technology packaged and resells Above All Studio and
Above All Mobile Client Server with its industry
standards-based platform for rapidly developing and
deploying mobile applications, GoodAccess™, making it
possible for wireless device users to access numerous
critical corporate applications in a single, unified
view.
"GoodAccess combined with Above All's
offerings enables our customers to quickly assemble
integrated, composite wireless applications that combine
business functionality and data from multiple systems
such as order management, product catalogs, invoicing
and messaging," said Danny Shader, CEO, Good Technology.
"This provides for an integrated experience that
conforms to the needs of the mobile business user on a
broad range of handheld devices."
Technology Partners
Above All works with software
industry leaders, including Siebel Systems, Microsoft,
salesforce.com, Remedy, NEON Systems, Systinet and other
leading ISVs to enhance the value of the applications
and technologies that companies deploy as part of their
SOA. Above All works closely with these partners to
extend and integrate the built-in functionality their
systems provide. The resultant composite applications
simplify user interaction with these systems and enable
customers to reuse the services across multiple business
processes.
"The growth of Web services and their
usage in a service-oriented architecture allows
customers to create new business value from their
existing mainframe assets," said Mark Cresswell,
President and CEO, NEON Systems. "Organizations can now
take advantage of our integrated solution with Above All
and deliver high-impact composite applications that
leverage Web service-enabled mainframes."
