IFS, the global cloud enterprise software company, is announcing the winners of its Partner of the Year Awards. The annual event recognizes partners’ continued dedication to the IFS Partner Program, commitment to excellence in the service(s) delivered to mutual customers, and expertise in leveraging innovation to extend the capabilities of IFS’s solution. The announcement is taking place at the IFS Global Partner Summit (The O2 Intercontinental, London, United Kingdom).
The 2023 IFS Partner of the Year Awards comprises thirteen categories that recognize the tremendous achievements of IFS’s partner ecosystem and considers partners across all industries, countries, and market segments.
Merlin Knott, Global Head, Partner and Channels, IFS, said: “As we reflect on the achievements of the past year, we look forward to the future possibilities that will undoubtedly emerge from the continued collaboration with these outstanding Partners. The IFS Partner of the Year awards highlight the commitment and synergy between IFS and our Partners. In a highly competitive field, these exceptional organizations have consistently gone above and beyond expectations, driving mutual success and fostering a spirit of collaboration that sets them apart on a global scale.”
“That spirit translates into the great results we are achieving on the ground,” added Knott. “In 2023, 38% of IFS’s license revenue involved partners, 14 of the top 20 IFS deals included partners, and we have also completed just over 1000 new certifications.”
Knott concluded: “I would like to congratulate the 2023 Partner of the Year winners for their unwavering commitment to excellence, customer satisfaction, and innovative solutions. These partnerships have not only elevated the industry standard but have also played a pivotal role in advancing our collective mission. In 2024, I am confident that this standard of excellence will continue to drive IFS’s expanding partner ecosystem forward”.
Cathie Hall, Chief Customer Officer, IFS, said: “These awards reflect the amazing work and results of our partners. They have shown excellence, innovation, and collaboration throughout the year, and have helped deliver value, best-of-breed solutions, and amazing Moments of Service to our customers. As we celebrate their achievements, we look forward to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and achieving even greater milestones in the years to come.”
As with previous years, an internal steering committee of global and regional IFS representatives reviewed nominations for the merit-based categories of the awards. The awards also featured a Customers’ Choice Partner of the Year category, which was nominated by IFS customers.
In addition, a panel of industry analysts, Sarah Lee (IDC), Hugo Fuller (Verdantix), and Predrag Jakovljevic (Tech Evaluation), led on judging nominations for the Innovative and Services categories, drawing on their broad experiences to judge a particularly competitive pool of entries.
