Extending its reach in the enterprise resource planning (ERP) sector, Comshare Inc. enlisted Cambiotech Inc., Cimcase International Corp., Consolidated Software, and Psionics Inc. as Comshare Solution Partners. These full-service partners will provide sales, implementation, and ongoing support for Comshare products, including BudgetPLUS, Comshare FDC, and Comshare DecisionWeb. The partner program targets mid-size companies in specific vertical markets, including banking, gaming, healthcare, government, education, and utilities. “Comshare Solution Partners focus on selected markets to bring customers whole-product solutions that will improve their planning, reporting, and analysis capabilities,” says Miguel Andrews, program vice president. The partners focus on mid-sized companies with revenues of $250 million or less, while Comshare’s direct sales force focuses on larger, global enterprises. Cambiotech is a North American Baan reseller that provides enterprise management solutions to companies that use information technology to improve their competitive edge. Cimcase International provides Hewlett-Packard products and resells Baan Certified Solutions that make up a portfolio of pre-engineered ERP solutions for business management across an enterprise, and provides real-world and automated data collection solutions for the material handling industry. A financial system implementation consulting firm, Consolidated Software, which already resells and implements Comshare products, becomes a full-service Comshare software provider. Psionics builds custom Business Intelligence applications and customizes off-the-shelf packages to accommodate users’ needs and system capabilities.
