PeopleSoft announces reseller channel growth

NEWS ERP (enterprise resource planning) vendor, PeopleSoft, has announced an expansion to its mid-market reseller channels. The plans to sign exclusive deals with systems implementers in 23 markets across the US are an extension to the Select Business Division announcement that PeopleSoft made a year ago. In addition to the four implementation centres created then, 23 new centres in metropolitan areas across America are planned. Potential customers - companies with revenues of less than $250m - will be able to visit these centres to gain consulting services, implementation tools and training. Jeffrey Read, marketing director at PeopleSoft's Select Business Division, said of the deal, "This gives us an increased level of focus on the local market."
