Onyx Software Launches New Global Alliance Program To Support Customer Process Solution Strategy
Onyx to expand partner ecosystem to reach more customers and help them address complexity and change

"Partners are a critical part of Onyx's growth strategy. Having a robust partner community allows us to reach more customers, and enhances our ability to provide process-based solutions in an efficient, effective manner," said Jack Denault, Senior Vice President of the Americas for Onyx. "In the last two years, approximately two-thirds of Onyx's new license revenue has come from enterprise customers with more than $2 billion in revenue. We are aggressively building and extending alliances with partners that serve the enterprise space and have proven results in helping organizations align their business processes for better corporate performance."

"Onyx has always been a strong partner not only because of the depth and flexibility of their solutions, but also because of their relentless commitment to helping their customers get the most out of their customer management initiatives," said Amit Bansal, CRM Business Manager from Fujitsu Australia & New Zealand.

Onyx has taken several steps to enhance its partner program, including the addition of new alliance management staff, new co-marketing programs, and expansion of its partner support and services. The new Onyx Global Alliance Program establishes a formal partner framework focused on joint marketing investments and co-selling opportunities, all of which will drive new business for Onyx and its partners.

"We have been working with Onyx for years because of the strength and robustness of the technology," said Joe Mullins VP of Business Development at CITGlobal. "With the investment that they have made in building out their alliance program, we now have even greater support in our efforts to market and sell the Onyx solutions. Onyx understands the value of its partners and is bringing energy and creativity to the relationship that I believe will help us achieve greater success."
