Beautiful business software is on the way to sub-Saharan Africa. EOH Company and Infor Master Partner, Softworx has launched the Africa Partner Network (Softworx APN) to channel Infor software sales and consulting services throughout sub-Saharan Africa.

Softworx managing director, Jane Thomson, says the partner network will provide businesses with access to best-in-class software: "The network will help prospective partners build a sustainable and profitable business selling and supporting Infor solutions." She says the initial focus for Africa will be on industrial manufacturing, food and beverage and automotive sectors solutions ranging through enterprise resource planning (ERP), enterprise asset management and performance management.

"Softworx will predominantly target East and West Africa where, as an EOH Company; we already have a presence in 29 countries. This will assist us in driving strategic growth across sub-Saharan Africa and further develop and grow the Infor channel."

Chris Thomas, Softworx Business Development Executive - Africa, says the network is comprised of three tiers, basic, associate and professional: "We have scaled the APN to provide incremental business benefits based on resources, infrastructure and performance."

"Infor has a strong brand underpinned by strong micro-vertical solutions. We are excited to bring these beautiful software solutions to sub-Saharan Africa. Infor is engineering business software in a way never seen before."
