Welcome!

 

I currently serve as the Global Partner Enablement Manager for Red Hat. My responsibilities include developing, managing, and in some cases delivering the content and programs necessary for the Red Hat partner community to meet and exceed their sales, service, and customer satisfaction targets. This is a similar role to the one that I held at Hewlett-Packard for the last few years.
The one thing that I can point out is that Partner Enablement is a dual-investment. The partner must invest time, effort, and in some cases make a financial investment in order to take advantage in the vendor's investment in content, delivery, and management of the program. By working together, each team is able to achieve much more than they could individually.
 
The true measurement of success with a Partner Enablement program is to examine the growth in license and services revenue and the improvement in customer satisfaction. A robust and important channel business is like any growing analogy ever discussed, when enablement is poorly managed or not given the correct tools to make the partner community more successful, the entire business suffers.

ERP Software Quality Associates                                                                                  Quality Assurance Consultants

I have recently become associated with a consortium of quality assurance professionals that are also experts on enterprise resource planning solutions (like SAP). The problem isn't just writing scripts or running a pre-built suite of test protocols, it's about knowing the software and how it works and discovering the important modules that your organization values. One of the truisms of computer science is that the technology typically will do a task repetitively exactly the same way. If for some reason it doesn't, the question we usually ask is 'What changed?'. When change occurs as part of a cycle of custom development, an upgrade, a new installation, etc. it becomes important to qualify that the new conditions will produce the correct results. Information Technology solutions of the 21st century aren't always satisfied by the application of technology, many times it is about mitigating the risk of those solutions.

ERPSQA consultants have decades of experience in quality assurance and broad capabilities with multiple development languages, protocols, and various systems including SAP, Siebel, PeopleSoft and Citrix. Our consultants have experience in retail, manufacturing, CRM, entertainment, and IT.
