Daptiv Launches Global Partner Program to Provide On-Demand Collaborative Project Management Platform to Enterprises
International Partners Providing Daptiv Solution to Customers in
New Markets Including Australia, the U.K., South Africa, Mexico and
Canada
SEATTLE--(Business Wire)--
Daptiv, the on-demand leader in collaborative business software,
today announced that it has launched its Global Partner Program to
deliver on-demand collaborative project portfolio management solutions
to enterprises around the world. As part of the Daptiv partner
program, partners help customers manage team-based, collaborative
work.
International Daptiv partners such as Bluenova of Australia,
Performance Advantage and Innovations in Business of Canada, IMR of
Mexico, The PMO Company of the Netherlands, SilverLake Professionals
of South Africa and BlackApple and PI Consulting of the United
Kingdom, in addition to U.S. partners such as Triple I and Effective
IT, have identified Daptiv as a leader in project management and
collaboration software and are committed to incorporating Daptiv
technology into their product and service offerings. Daptiv offers
three types of solution partnerships to fit the needs of systems
integrators, resellers and consulting firms, and provides access to
training, sales leads, revenue sharing, as well as the Daptiv platform
itself, to bring substantial value to partner offerings. With the
recent introduction of Daptiv Connect, resellers and partners benefit
from the added value of being able to easily integrate Daptiv
technology with other on-premise or Web-based enterprise solutions,
such as Salesforce.com.
Virgin Blue Airlines of Australia recently chose Bluenova to
implement Daptiv PPM across Virgin Blue's commercial, corporate,
operations and special project portfolios. "Virgin Blue Airlines is a
highly innovative organization that has been growing at a steady
rate," said Charl Morkel, director, Bluenova. "They were looking for a
program that was highly flexible to meet the expanding needs as well
as being able to adapt to the differing project management maturity
levels across the organization. Daptiv PPM was the obvious choice."
"Daptiv is an ideal partner for IMR's results-based methodology,
which requires quick, demonstrable return-on-investment for customers
in markets such as retail and management," said Raul Cardenas,
director of operations, IMR. "Other solutions require time-consuming
installations for on-site software, but Daptiv's SaaS-based platform
makes it easy to get our customers up and running quickly without
worrying about software upgrades or hardware requirements. Best of
all, our customers immediately see value as they gain visibility into
the work they are doing across staff roles, from executives to team
members."
IMR has already implemented Daptiv PPM with roughly twenty clients
and works with companies ranging in size from less than $10 million to
more than $300 million in revenue. Daptiv's on-demand solution has
provided IMR customers with greater visibility into work processes and
collaboration, reduction of project costs and time and overall
improved project success.
"Daptiv has radically increased the volume of project work that we
can take on and has enhanced the quality of service that we provide to
our clients," said Ian Brown, managing director, BlackApple. "After
conducting thorough research on various project management and
collaboration solutions, we concluded that Daptiv is the only tool
that allows us and our clients to quickly focus in on business
critical needs and projects across an organization. Daptiv is
invaluable in providing a single version of the truth, one centralized
repository that allows for visibility into all aspects of the project
and ensures that all data is taken into account for a holistic view of
work."
BlackApple is a project management and consulting company and is
one the longest serving partners anywhere, having been both a customer
and partner of Daptiv since 2001. Initially, BlackApple used Daptiv in
a professional services capacity, relying on Daptiv's solution when
managing or rescuing a project for a client. Their clients gained
exposure to Daptiv PPM through BlackApple, and soon turned to
BlackApple for assistance in implementing the product internally in
order to better manage all facets of project work. Today, BlackApple
continues to use Daptiv for their professional services offering, and
also serves as a direct sales partner and a key training and
implementation partner, providing European facing support and
configuration expertise. BlackApple has over 50 clients worldwide,
with roughly 40 clients in the UK and several more in countries like
India, Pakistan, Switzerland and Germany, ranging from small design
agencies to one of the largest food retailers in the world.
"These partnerships are a testament to Daptiv's tremendous growth,
both internationally and within the U.S.," said Jeff Pancottine, CEO,
Daptiv. "As we continue to grow and expand the reach of our solution
to new verticals and markets, we're enabling enterprises to gain
insight into all work across projects and teams and to tap into the
robust reporting of Work Intelligence. As companies across the globe
continue to embrace and adopt emerging enterprise 2.0 technologies,
Daptiv is committed to partnering with well-established,
customer-centric firms to best serve these new markets."
