Innovyze Launches Global Channel Partner Recruitment Initiative To Support Growing Demand 

With Keys to Entire Portfolio, Enhanced Partner Program Gives Customers More Choice and Spearheads Broad Recruitment Drive

Broomfield, Colorado USA, November 1, 2011 — Innovyze, a leading global innovator of business analytics software and technologies for wet infrastructure, today announced a targeted global drive to recruit strategic channel partners to bring the benefits of its comprehensive, best-in-class product portfolio to an even wider audience. The company is looking to more than double its partner ecosystem over the next three years and is particularly interested in channel partnerships that help cover geographies and specific sub-markets where it currently does not have a strong direct presence. These areas include Central Europe and parts of Eastern Europe; Scandinavia; South America; and parts of Southeast Asia including India, Indochina, Brunei, and Indonesia.

“With the recent release of our industry-leading analytics-centric asset management product line, the opportunities for Innovyze and our partner ecosystem are phenomenal,” said Adam Simonsen, Director of Marketing and Partners & Alliances at Innovyze. “We see high-value channel partnerships as another avenue to help us provide superior solutions and an outstanding customer experience to a broader audience. Unlike some vendors, we greatly value quality over quantity, preferring to work closely with a small number of dedicated partners who are well aligned with our products and share our vision and commitment to the industries we serve. We look forward to extending that network of partners over the coming months.”

Innovyze’s product mix consists of software designed for water, wastewater, stormwater and river systems modeling and management; asset management and performance modeling; real-time flood forecasting and warning; real-time operations and security; and capital planning. The company has already built a very strong channel network, choosing partners that have both superb technical skill and understanding of their customers’ core businesses. This expansion will aim to maintain that benchmark without compromise.

Innovyze has a well-established customer base in all sectors from education to government and utilities to professional engineering services firms. It comprises over 10,000 users worldwide, including nine of the top ten U.S. cities, ten of the top ten cities in Australia, and all water companies in the UK. Innovyze channel partners benefit from incentives, selling-critical tools and comprehensive training designed to help them rapidly grow their businesses around Innovyze products. They are able to capitalize on the company’s heavy investment in innovation in the areas of sophisticated systems dynamics and business analytics. They include its recently released analytics-centric asset management package for the water and wastewater industries, encompassing multiple solutions that work together seamlessly.

Selected partners will complete a formal training and certification process and have the opportunity to participate in customer seminars and road shows.

Thomas Turner-Burkitt, who became the Innovyze channel partner for Benelux in 2009, commented, “Innovyze offers by far the best products in its industry. Its rapidly growing customer base now includes eight of the top ten cities in Belgium and seven of the top ten cities in the Netherlands. Selling and supporting this company’s high industry standards has allowed me to have a major impact on the quality of life in these countries.”

Miroslav Tesarik who just became a channel partner for the Czech Republic, added, “There has never been a more exciting time to partner with Innovyze, which has emerged as the technology partner of choice for the smallest to the largest utility organizations. Its success is easy to understand. Innovyze is the only company in our industry that provides best-of-breed solutions backed with world-class technical support. It is also the only firm that offers a complete, vertically integrated stack, giving customers total choice of deployment platform. It’s an honor to partner with a company committed to making such a positive difference in the world.”

Jeff Booth, president of Jeff Booth Consulting Ltd., who joined Innovyze channel network in 2001, noted, “Being able to deliver these vanguard solutions to New Zealand is truly a privilege. The range of cities already committed to Innovyze, including nine of the top ten cities in the country, makes it clear that this is the software of choice for our industry.”

Chris Baxter, Ph.D., President of HYDRANNT Consulting Inc., who became the company’s channel partner for Canada in 2002, added, “In a very short period, Innovyze has become the undisputed market leader in Canada. It clients range from the smallest municipalities to the largest urban centers including Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary and the nation’s capital Ottawa. The company’s relentless innovation and high-touch customer support are simply unparalleled in our industry. These factors and more set the standard in this field.”
