M-Files Bolsters Partner Program with New Webinar Series

New Webinar Series
M-Files, a global leader in information management, today unveiled the company’s new partner webinar series to support the fast-growing M-Files partner program. The partner program webinars, which run from October 2022 to May 2023, nurture relationships and offer enhanced technical support and sales enablement for M-Files reseller and solution provider partners. With its software-as-a-service (SaaS) business model, M-Files helps partners drive annual recurring revenue (ARR) and achieve a multiplier effect for partner services revenue.

"As a systems integrator and business partner, the M-Files SaaS business model has had a transformative impact on our business,” said Brad Nickle, CEO of Strickland Solutions

"As a systems integrator and business partner, the M-Files SaaS business model has had a transformative impact on our business,” said Brad Nickle, CEO of Strickland Solutions, an M-Files Premier partner based in Fort Worth, TX. "We've calculated that M-Files SaaS license sales has a strong multiplier effect for our service revenue. Using our customer success model, each dollar a customer spends on M-Files SaaS licensing generates on average $3 in services over the lifetime of the customer."

The M-Files partner program works with technology and solution developers, systems integrators, and value-added resellers to help companies improve how they do business in the global, work-from-anywhere world. The program provides partners with dynamic, revenue-driving opportunities that align with organizations’ business strategies. Over the last year, M-Files achieved more than 90% gross revenue retention across channel customers and a 70% increase in new customer deployments in the cloud. Over the past six months, the number of M-Files certified delivery partners increased by 66%, the number of certified solution engineers increased by 60%, and the number of certified developers increased by 59%.

This year the company also introduced a new Certified Trainer accreditation and new partner training workshops focused on technical delivery and project delivery best practices utilizing the M-Files metadata-driven document management platform. Additionally, M-Files launched a channel customer success program to enable partners to develop their own customer success strategies to sustain and increase their M-Files related ARR.

"At M-Files, our goal is to empower our channel partners with the resources they need to grow their businesses and make a profound impact on the value they bring to their customers,” said Bob Pritchard, chief revenue officer, M-Files. “In 2022, we have continued to enrich communications with partners around the globe with the creation of a dedicated channel marketing team and robust new partner training. The new webinar series offers another best-in-class resource that will not only heighten partner and customer confidence in M-Files solutions, but also drive successful outcomes.”
