Annual training signature partners set new again milestones in collaboration for E-Signing and Check Fraud Prevention
[DUBAI] - 2010-04-16: Softpro, the world's leading vendor of systems for capture and verification of handwritten signatures, and fraud prevention solutions, welcomed participants from 15 countries and even more companies at its recent Partner Academy which was concluded today in Dubai. The record number in attendees reflects the major increase in embedding digitized handwritten signatures in electronic workflows based on Softpro's solutions. In 2010 German signature specialists were able to welcome partners from Brazil, Germany, India, Iran, Italy, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Nigeria, Philippines, Poland, Singapore, Slovakia, the United States and Uruguay.
Peter Reschke, Head of Sales of the SOFTPRO Group and Managing Director: "It is our aim to pass on our expert knowledge to our partners to make it locally available across time zones and in many business cultures. Our partners gained or enhanced their ability to consult about our joint solutions in the best way possible and implement them smoothly exactly in the way as required by the customer. Last but, not least there were also able to feel what we call the unique Softpro spirit and share our enthusiasm and dedication."
The following participating companies are now certified partners of SOFTPRO: Copi (Poland, www.copi.pl), Datapointer (Brazil, www.datapointer.com.br) Excorp (Mexico, www.excorp.com.mx), Gizmotec (Canada/Nigeria, www.gizmo-tech.com), Gradient (Slovakia, www.gradient.sk), Hitts (Malaysia, www.hitts.com), Kartha (Italy, www.kartha.it), Kores (India, www.kores-india.com), Netraverse (South Korea, www.netraverse.co.kr), Occidental Data Corporation (Philippines), Pooya (Iran, www.pooyaco.com) and Precodata (Uruguay, www.precodata.com.uy).
The Partner Academy is the evolution of a training series for technicians initially started as a "Technical Deep Dive". For the first time Softpro was offering in Dubai an intensive five-day workshop module special training for business development for Pre-Sales Consultants, Business Development Specialists and Sales. This module proved to be a business accelerator as it sparked a lot of inspiring discussions and was classified as "of outstanding value" or "could have been even longer as we really enjoying tapping on the wealth of experience from Ulrich and Irina". Without any doubt it will be on the agenda for next year's partner training again as will be the technical workshops again too.
Inspiring discussions
Bernd Heinrich head of SOFTPROs Professional service Group and organizer of the event: "The discussions within our fast growing partner eco-system are extremely important for a fruitful collaboration to deliver excellent solution which really met the various requirements of our joint customers today. We feel privileged that customers like First National Bank of South Africa and the Spanish Savings Banks Organization (Confederación Española de Cajas de Ahorros, CECA) have joint us for this year's conference in Dubai to share their experience for the benefit of all participants and gave valuable insights in their projects." Some of Softpro's partners also shared their next milestones in their business development roadmaps. Privileged information shared in Dubai will gradually become available to SOFTPRO's partners first and in a later stage to the general public.
Proof of sustainable partnerships
"As our joint customers buy our products and services for mission-critical processes they honor our dedication to long-lasting, sustainable partnerships. Softpro is working together with some of its partners like Disoft, GijimaAst or Hitts now for more than a decade. We are striving to be seen as the most reliable vendor with a "promise-kept" attitude, never stop listen and learning." states Softpro's Peter Reschke. "Softpro continues to focus on the idea of stakeholder value encompassing enduring benefits for customers, partners and employees. The Partner Academy in 2010 was just another milestone to prove this. We look forward to seeing an even larger attendance returning in 2011. "
Choice of location shows dedication for Gulf region
The venue in Dubai was chosen as Softpro recognizes the growing importance of the Gulf region for its global presence. For 2010 a dedicated focus is set in the company's strategy on activities in this region. Several meetings with potential partners in the region were scheduled alongside the Partner Academy and Softpro is due to exhibit at the region's leading event for IT in Finance - MEFTEC - in the following week after.
