Companies looking for consulting services to assist with HTML5 projects can search the partner directory for highly qualified talent.
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.: There is tremendous and growing demand for development expertise skilled in Sencha’s Web technologies such as Ext JS, Ext Designer, and Sencha Touch, and IT managers need better ways to address this need using both Sencha itself and other organizations they can trust. To connect project managers with qualified software solutions providers, Sencha, the leading provider of HTML5 frameworks and tools for desktop and mobile application developers, is expanding its partner program for systems integrators and mobile/Web development firms that specialize in JavaScript, HTML5 and open Web technologies.
The new Sencha Certified Partner Program, which launched today, features a tiered approach that offers solutions providers increasing levels of visibility and traction with companies looking for help building next-generation Web apps for the latest browsers and devices.
The Sencha Certified Partner Program offers a range of benefits not previously not available to solutions partners, and aimed at enhancing their prominence within the rapidly growing community of 1.6 million Sencha developers. Solutions providers looking to build their sales pipeline can now take advantage of lead-generation programs, a range of co-marketing opportunities with Sencha, and discounts on training and licences. A new, bi-directional referral program directs services business requests directly from Sencha to qualified partners, and awards partners referral bonuses whenever their success drives sales of Sencha licenses, and support and training services.
“Being a Sencha Certified Partner has helped solidify our presence in the market as a premium provider of enterprise HTML5 mobile and web applications,” said Pat Sheridan, CEO of ModusCreate. “The program has led to introductions to prestigious clients and boosted our industry exposure, both of which have contributed to our rapid growth in 2011.
