01732 759725 14 BULLETIN HP introduces new global partner program HP Inc. has unveiled HP Amplify, a first-of-its kind global channel partner program optimised to drive dynamic partner growth and deliver consistent end customer experiences. By consolidating HP’s best partner products, tools and trainings into one intuitive program, HP Amplify removes complexity, making it easier for partners to take advantage of its many benefits and engage customers on a deeper level. Now comprised of just two distinct tracks – Synergy and Power - with clear compensation levels, HP Amplify provides partners with the flexibility to invest in value-added services and capabilities. The more a partner invests in these capabilities, the higher the rewards. Designed to enable progressive go-to- market strategies that cater to a combination of transactional, contractual and hybrid selling models, HP Amplify focuses on three core pillars: performance, capabilities and collaboration. HP is also introducing HP Amplify Impact, inviting all partners to join HP in its pledge to address environmental impact. For partners who choose to join this opt-in pledge, HP will provide training and support, and help identify potential gaps in the goals partners wish to set and provide guidance on how to achieve those goals. www.hp.com InfinityQS partners with InControl Advanced process automation systems integrator InControl Systems, and InfinityQS, the global provider of manufacturing quality intelligence software and services, are joining forces to support digital transformation initiatives across the UK process and manufacturing sector. www.infinityqs.com LogicMonitor expands global reach The cloud-based software provider has announced seven new channel partner additions to its LogicMonitor Partner Network.

In a joint project, Curo and M-Files have designed a new, metadata-driven solution to manage documents, automate compliance and optimise business processes. About 20 document classes have been defined with automated metadata and access controls to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. This metadata approach will also allow presenting content in context by relating documents to each other as well as to additional information such as tenants, properties or projects. The team will migrate data from their existing EMC solution, Documotive, which will be replaced. About 600 users will benefit from this modern approach to information management, having fast and intuitive access to over two million documents. Tom Battersby, Director of ICT at Curo Group said: “Managing large amounts of documents under strict compliance with regulatory controls is core to our business. M-Files impressed us with its rich out of the box functions. Also, the ease of integration and flexibility to meet our specific needs were very much appealing.” www.m-files.com OutSystems updates channel program OutSystems has launched an enhanced partner program, offering new benefits and expanded opportunities for channel partners and systems integrators who establish expertise in OutSystems and for ISVs and solution providers who build products with the OutSystems platform. The program accelerates customers’ speed of success, pace of adoption, and time to value via partner engagement. “We view our partners as a natural extension of the OutSystems team, and we know our customers trust them to be there for both strategy and execution,” said Peter Dunlap, VP of Channels and Alliances. “We are building a frictionless, highly rewarding relationship for our partners, helping them grow their business by creating differentiated value.” www.outsystems.com Charity achieves £200,000 annual efficiency saving Following a tender through the Crown Commercial Services RM3781 Framework, St. Andrew’s Healthcare, a specialist mental healthcare provider and registered charity, is benefiting from standardising on Konica Minolta’s print and document management infrastructure. The partnership has seen St. Andrew’s Healthcare realise £200,000 annual efficiency savings, achieved through a streamlined fleet of devices, improved print reporting, more efficient consumables management and reduced paper waste – that have been re-invested into front- line services. St. Andrew’s is also benefiting from enhanced security, with its formerly unpoliced print use being replaced with a ‘follow-me’ approach, whereby staff now use their security badge to connect to a device and print, scan or copy a document. www.konicaminolta.co.uk
