Adesso Systems Introduces Innovative Partner Program and Advisory Board

Posted on: Tuesday, 18 January 2005, 09:00 CST

Developed Jointly with Leading Microsoft Business Solutions Partners to Deliver the Tools Required for Implementing On-demand Computing Solutions

Adesso Systems, Inc., the leading provider of always-available mobile enterprise software and services, today announced the launch of the Adesso Partner Program and Advisory Board. This innovative new program aims to help partners unlock the power of on-demand or always-available computing by providing a range of support services for the Adesso Platform(TM), the first end-to-end, no-code software solution for developing, deploying, managing and provisioning mobile applications. Unlike most vendor partner programs, Adesso's program was developed from the ground up in conjunction with several Microsoft Business Solutions partners to ensure that it offers the exact mix of tools and resources they require to be successful in their distributed, mobile computing engagements. Instrumental in the design of the partner program was Adesso's newly established Partner Advisory Board, chaired by John Hendrickson, CEO of InterDyn - Business Microvar, a leading global partner for Microsoft Business Solutions and a repeat member of the Microsoft's Inner Circle representing the top 25 Partners from Microsoft's 6,000+ global partners.

"For on-demand computing to succeed, customers and the partner community need tools that support a distributed, occasionally connected computing (OCC) model. Products such as IBM Workplace fall short in supporting this strategy due to their added layers of technology and inability to exploit the full power of the .Net architecture and Windows environment, which is the predominantly deployed client desktop operating system," said John Landry, Chairman and CTO, Adesso Systems. "Adesso's Platform delivers an always-available model built around the Microsoft operating system and .Net. This combination allows the partner community to offer next generation distributed solutions that are accessible for viewing and editing with or without a network or wireless connection from any type of device - PDA, Pocket PCs, smart phones, laptops or desktops. Ultimately we enable customers, through our platform and partners, to realize the benefits of 'on demand' computing today."

The program was designed and approved by the Adesso Partner Advisory Board and its chairman, John Hendrickson. The board, which consists of leading Microsoft Business Solution Partners, developed a program aimed at attracting leading channel partners such as value added resellers (VAR), independent software vendors (ISV), system integrators (SI) and original equipment manufacturers (OEM), who's customers recognize their customer facing processes are a strategic differentiators and their workforces are highly mobile requiring access to real-time information anytime, anywhere from any device. By leveraging Adesso and the board's close relationship with Microsoft, partners and customers alike can be assured tight integration with desktop applications and a platform that will support the latest Microsoft and .Net initiatives.

"The challenging market conditions over the past few years and increased competitiveness have motivated resellers and integrators to seek new technologies that will diversify their practice. As the need for distributive mobile applications grows, resellers see this as an emerging practice area that will allow them to expand relationships with current customers and attract new ones," said John Hendrickson. "Adesso offers the best technology platform that partners can use today to realize the much talked about benefits of always-available or on-demand computing. Leveraging the Adesso platform, the channel community can provide business solutions which will provide end-to-end integration of people, business processes, and information within and beyond the enterprise."

As a member of the program, partners will receive:

-- Product User Licenses - allowing partners the ability to build internal Adesso-based solutions and demonstrate the solutions to customers.

-- Pre-packed Field Force Frameworks - offering access to any solution framework, which serve as best-practice templates for Field Service, Field Sales, Field Compliance and Data Collection, for use in the implementation of Adesso for their clients.

-- Adesso Integration Solutions - providing partners with a set of developer components (Web Services, Adesso SQL Views, ODBC drivers and pre-packaged connectors) that enable integration and customization of the Adesso Platform.

-- Product Training - providing each partner a three-day hands-on training program covering all aspects of the Adesso solutions from installation through implementation and configurations to solution deployment.

-- Product Technical Support - offering access to product support is provided to partners via multiple channels.

-- Marketing and Sales Documentation with market development funds - providing partners with the tools to market the partnership and help with the selling processes. This includes access to Adesso logos, literature, presentations, case studies, market and competitive research, regional lead generation events, and monthly partner conference call.
