2024 IFS Ultimo Partner Awards: Spotlight on Success

So, we are honored to recognize the outstanding achievements of this year’s IFS Ultimo Partner Award winners. Acknowledged at our first ever partner summit, Nexus, in Madrid earlier this week, these awards celebrate the work that plays a critical role in fueling the operational excellence and innovation our global customers seek. The dedication and expertise that our partners bring to the table, ultimately helps businesses unlock the competitive advantage that lies within organizational efficiency.

Let’s meet the winners and share a little about why their awards are so well-deserved.  

Reseller Partner of the Year

Goes to Becolve Digital. This partner has invested in several impactful marketing campaigns to position IFS Ultimo to the Iberian market. Their highly professional go-to-to-market approach and methodology secured an excellent customer case study with the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and created a platform for further business with the club. They are the first partner in the Ultimo partner ecosystem to have sold up-sell deals, which until recently were exclusively new business. The appointment of a new sales development representative has brought good lead generation momentum and prospect follow-up and positions this Becolve Digital for sustained pipeline performance. This is a partner whose collaboration and alignment with Ultimo, along with substantial sales and marketing investment, has set them on a path to significant success into 2025.  

We must also mention InfoConsulting and Omninecs who were close runners-up. 

Implementation Partner of the Year

Closely beating Pontifexx and DNAStream to first place on the podium is asset management optimization specialists, MaxGrip. They have a fantastic track record when it comes to Ultimo implementations across the globe, for example at Renewi and Freepoint Eco-Systems.  With international coverage, and a very strong team of dedicated Ultimo consultants, they are the deserved winner of the Implementation Partner of the Year award.  

Technology Partner of the Year

Acknowledged for its dedication to excellence, innovation, and proactive collaboration, Siemens Healthineers are the winners in this category. This partner is not only involved in improving and optimizing processes on a technical level but also demonstrates a proactive approach to sales. They engage in continuous discussions about joint opportunities, always looking for ways to collaborate and exploit new possibilities. 

Our sincere congratulations also go to runners-up Claroty and Cadac Group. 

Partner Ambassador of the Year

It was tough to choose between the talents of Bas Wammes, at Impazz, Johan van de Pol, at Pontifexx, Ralph Gordon, from Q-Mation, and Marc Mata, at Becolve Digital. But Bas clinched it thanks to his exceptional ability to inspire others about IFS Ultimo. He shares his experiences on social media, participates in thought leadership initiatives and has developed best practice training courses for Impazz. 

Co-sell Partner of the Year

Congratulations to Pontifexx! This consultancy has delivered impressive co-selling results, with 43 warm leads and assistance to our direct sales team in closing 27 orders. We are most impressed by the approach of the Pontifexx team – working closely with our sales teams to demonstrate the value of our software to customers. 

Special mention also goes to Inoteam and Meditain. 

Marketing Partner of the Year

In this category the award goes to Infoconsulting, for embedding a new solution so seamlessly into their marketing strategy. Over the last 18 months, the company has shown dedication and creativity across its full scope of marketing and lead generation activities. From content and collateral to webinars and trade shows, Infoconsulting strikes the right balance between building brand awareness and lead generation activities. 

Our thanks and appreciation also go to Factory Software Italia and Becolve Digital who were also finalists for Marketing Partner of the Year.
