Enterprising partnership in workflow optimisation driving local project management

July 9, 2012 - PRLog -- Technology that offers workflow optimisation and meaningful project management across the enterprise is propelling local business development. This is the view adopted by experts in Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) and SharePoint applications, who are behind the successful, established reseller and technology partnership between FOXit (Pty) Ltd. and Nintex.

In 2011 Nintex, a leading global innovator of software that extends Microsoft SharePoint®,  appointed FOXit, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and service provider focused on Project and Portfolio Management in business, as a Value-Added Reseller (VAR).

FOXit was identified as a VAR based on its extensive track-record within project and portfolio management and the fact that it is the only PPM certified local distributor of various internationally-acclaimed Microsoft certified solutions - based on the Microsoft Business Productivity Stack.

More than a year into the partnership and it is clear that the partnership is addressing a critical need in the South African market.

Aldo van Tonder, CEO at FOXit, underlines the analytics, end-to-end workflow, the creation of forms to reflect on mobile solutions and drag-and-drop workflow design as sought-after features within the modern project management environment.

Decision makers want to invest in solutions that allow them remote control of the project management environment.

“Mobility and ease-of-use – these are the main considerations behind the acquisition and application of project management solutions. Nintex has a portfolio of products that embody the principles of drag-and-drop functionality, automated business processes and the ability to measure and control project management across SharePoint infrastructure. This adds significant value to the decision maker in business today,” explains van Tonder.

Nintex believes partners within the Nintext Partner Network such as FOXit have strong credentials to help facilitate value add for businesses using SharePoint and related technology.

“SharePoint addresses many business needs and Nintex products further enhance and extend SharePoint. Our partners such as FOXit are able to use Nintex technology to provide more comprehensive solutions for their customers” says Brett Campbell, Senior Vice President, Nintex.

“Nintex is a partnership-driven, global company that operates in ninety countries and has over 700 partners. It seeks to partner with service providers that know their products and understand the market.

“FOXit is an innovative, forward-thinking, agile company and is a good fit for our Partner Program.” adds Campbell.

Van Tonder is equally confident of the partnership and believes the inherent qualities of Nintex products complement the company’s offering and its go-to-market strategy.

“Since inception our core philosophy has been to challenge the way technology is perceived. We know there are benefits to using the technology and these solutions will add measurable value. This partnership is about user experience and demonstrating that there is such a thing as user-friendly, high-performance PPM and workflow technology. We are proud to be the premier partners to Nintex and we are excited about engaging with existing and emerging business in South Africa,” he says.
