Mighty Oaks from Little Acorns Grow

Paul Herron - Sr. Vice President, North America, Sales & Alliances

August 11th marks an important milestone in Xinify's history - our fifth year anniversary in business - and I wanted to take this moment to recall some of the ground we've covered in that time, and share some thoughts about where we're going in the future.

Five years ago a small group of ex-Niku consultants found themselves working together for a major entertainment company on what was arguably the most complex Niku implementation undertaken to date. That project tested their collective talents, but when it was successfully delivered - on time, and under budget - those people knew without question they were among the very best Niku consultants in the world and they could count on one another to overcome whatever challenges they faced together.

That's how Xinify was founded - and we've never looked back!

Since then we've grown to more than one hundred Clarity-certified consultants, launched our low-cost nearshore/offshore Clarity Centers of Excellence in Mexico and India, expanded our sales and delivery operations into EMEA , and along the way we've served in one capacity or another on about half of all the Niku/Clarity implementations in the world!

In May of this year Xinify was named CA's #1 Partner - not just CA's #1 Partner for Clarity, but CA’s #1 Partner across its entire solutions portfolio.

While we're proud of those accomplishments we think the best is yet to come!

In June of this year, we announced an extension of our partnership with CA to resell CA's Enterprise Channel Products, including CA Clarity PPM, as a CA Platinum Partner to CA's reseller channel account base in the mid-market both here in the US and EMEA. We have put together what we believe is the best pricing and rapid implementation services delivery model for this market, and we are seeing the results of that already.

In July of this year, we delivered what we believe is the state-of-the-art in self-paced training (SPT) for project managers using Clarity with either Open Workbench (OWB) or Microsoft Projects (MSP). The clients we've shared this with have told us that it will significantly increase their Clarity adoption rates, improve their ROI for Clarity - and save them money in the process. (If you haven't seen this yet, here's the link to the landing page and demo: Click here – drop me a line and let me know what you think!)

While there are several more exciting announcements I'd like to share with you about our new PM Staffing offering, our Clarity integration technology, and business intelligence reporting solutions, I'm afraid I've already overstayed my welcome and that will have to wait until next edition.

In the meantime, on behalf of all of Xinify's associates, I'd like to say thank you for allowing us to serve you these last five years - while we're not yet a "mighty oak," as the saying goes, it's been an incredible experience, and we look forward to five more years with you and beyond!

Best wishes,
