Technology company Strategic Dimensions has been awarded Silver Partner status by global open source CRM and ERP company Odoo, formerly known as OpenERP, making it only the second company in the country to do so.
Odoo is one of the fastest evolving business software suites in the world and offers a complete range of business applications covering all needs, from websites and e-commerce through to manufacturing, inventory and accounting, all seamlessly integrated. It’s suitable for small and big companies alike, and has more than two million users worldwide.
“We worked hard to become a Silver Partner, a status that requires focus and dedication,” says Daniel Maimba, director of Strategic Dimensions. “Our Odoo technical and sales resources had to be certified and we also had to achieve specific sales revenue targets, which we exceeded by 15%.
“We also had to have a number of customer reference sites to prove successful implementations and an in-depth understanding of customer needs. It’s a process that demands investment of time and money and we are proud to be acknowledged for our success in getting it right. For our customers, it demonstrates that we have credibility in the market and that we know what we are doing. The partner award also gives Strategic Dimensions international recognition.”
Maimba says Strategic Dimensions has focused on Odoo because it’s easy for customers to adopt, and is known for its flexibility. As an open source product suite, it is actively maintained by a large base of developers to meet evolving customer needs and provide new, innovative applications that help companies to grow their business.
Strategic Dimensions has now set its sights on achieving Gold Partner status, which will require the company to grow its resource pool, and to further train and certify its employees. “We will also focus on signing up additional customers and building new reference sites,” says Maimba. “To help us achieve Gold status, we aim to recruit additional technical staff members in 2015, which is also in line with our growth strategy.”
