Enterprise Software Company Plans to Add VARs with Industry-Specific Expertise

Atlanta, GA, December 21, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Infor today announced it has launched a campaign to recruit new channel partners in North America. Seeking to expand on its year-over-year increase in license revenue from the channel, Infor looks to enlist value-added resellers (VARs) that have deep industry-specific knowledge in addition to a strong understanding of enterprise software and its implementation.
