The Elite status requires meeting steep requirements and certifies the channel partners to promote, sell, support and service the broad ANSYS multiphysics simulation portfolio.
The Elite Channel Partners for 2015 are:
- CADFEM GmbH in Germany, including its associates CADFEM (Suisse) AG and CADFEM (Austria) GmbH
- Cybernet Systems Co. Ltd. in Japan
- ESSS in Brazil
- SimuTech Group in the United States
- TAE Sung Software & Engineering Inc. in South Korea
The ANSYS Elite channel partner programme, which includes Elite and Standard membership levels, promotes customer success by ensuring that channel partners meet stringent certification and resource requirements. Elite partners must have exceptional customer satisfaction rates, show consistent sales growth by meeting specific annual new business targets and employ technical and sales personnel who are fully certified by ANSYS.
"All ANSYS channel partners are experts in engineering simulation technologies and are known throughout the industry," said Ravi Kumar, director of the ANSYS worldwide channel program and emerging markets. "But our Elite partners are truly the best in their approaches to broadening the use of ANSYS technologies and pursuing our long-term vision of simulation driven product development. They must undergo a rigorous annual certification process to ensure they can meet the evolving technology needs of some of the best companies in the world. It's a real honor to work with these committed and passionate organizations, which are making significant contributions to ANSYS by enabling us to efficiently expand our market coverage and to support our customers' innovation initiatives worldwide."
Designed to increase the ANSYS reach globally, the ANSYS Elite channel partner programme includes deep sales and technical training on ANSYS multiphysics solutions, certification, promotion and demand generation activities, access to collateral, field sales support and regular performance measurements.
"It's a tremendous honor to be among the inaugural group of channel partners to earn Elite status," said Ken Lally, CEO of SimuTech Group. "We have a long history of working with ANSYS to bring its vision of Simulation Driven Product Development™ to organizations throughout the United States and Canada. Being an Elite channel partner will enable SimuTech to elevate our relationship and expand the use of engineering simulation even further."
