During this past year, Global signed certified partners with expertise in the following ERP packages: Oracle, JD Edwards, PeopleSoft, BPCS, Movex/Lawson and Sage, to name a few. These partners became certified on Global's Excel-based automation tools. 2006 saw Global Software expand significantly in its international partner program by adding certified partners in the following countries: Australia, United Kingdom, Spain, South Africa, Canada, and Israel.
Global Software continues to work to identify partners that have pronounced experience with those specific ERPs, with the ambition of building the partner channel exponentially in the future.
In addition to targeting strategic partners, Global expanded its incentive-based benefits and services available to its Certified Partner Channel community. With a number of new marketing and technical benefits included in the partner program in '06, this partner channel has responded favorably, further contributing to the growth.

Spencer Kupferman, Vice President, Corporate Affairs and Company Spokesman for Global Software, Inc. stated, "2006 was a year of tremendous accomplishment, commitment, and record achievement for Global's Worldwide Certified Partner Program. While our goal is to continue our partner expansion worldwide, we have been very careful while executing this initiative not to sacrifice our partner-centric philosophy of providing a premium level of service to our valued partners. Unlike other software partner channels, Global's objective is not quantity of partners, but rather accepting, training and developing quality certified partners to represent Global's Excel-based automation product suite."
