AUSTIN, Texas – January 26, 2012
- @hand, a leading provider of enterprise mobility software solutions, announces the development and strategic build-out of a world-class partner ecosystem to accelerate global market share. Based on the early success and momentum of the program, @hand will continue to drive towards wider market acceptance and adoption of the partner program.

“Partners have been and will continue to be an integral part of @hand’s continuing success in the enterprise mobility market,” said Rob Beauchamp, Vice President of Field Operations. “With our strengths in solution delivery, training and support, we’ve established a partner program designed to enable and improve our partners’ success in establishing their own mobile practice around the @hand platform.”

The @hand Partner Ecosystem encompasses four significant areas of channel development including system integrators, resellers, OEM partners and referral partners. @hand has established the critical pillars of success for the Partner Ecosystem including the development of a partner marketing kit, comprehensive and scalable training program, training materials and a support infrastructure for partners. Training courses have been designed with the independent success of the partners in mind. The training curriculum for partners has been expanded to include a Fundamentals for Mobility Applications track and a Developers track for partners to learn how to leverage, creatively develop and market their own mobile applications on the @hand platform.

An important component to the Partner Ecosystem is a tailored approach to enable every role at a partner company to achieve a high level of success through active participation in the program. Future elements of the partner enablement program will include assigned account managers and customized training programs as well as self-serve, self paced training modules.
