Socius to Expand through Affiliate Network as a Microsoft Master VAR

Oct. 25, 2011 - PRLog -- Socius, a nationally recognized Microsoft Dynamics value added reseller (VAR), is launching a Sales Affiliate network as part of Microsoft’s new Master VAR program.

As a Master VAR, Socius will be partnering with Microsoft Dynamics reselling partners as Sales Affiliate organizations.  These Sales Affiliates will continue to sell to and service their existing customers and grow their individual businesses with the support of Socius’ business development processes, marketing efforts, brand recognition, and Gold Certified status in the Microsoft Partner Network.

Socius was chosen to be in the select group of elite partners named as Master VARs due to their proven record of business growth since becoming a Microsoft Dynamics (initially Great Plains Software) partner in 1984.  Despite challenges in the market, Socius has achieved and maintained managed growth in all areas of their business while staying relevant and at the cusp of new developments in the business technology industry.  This growth has earned Socius a consistent place in Microsoft’s Inner Circle throughout the distinction’s history.  The strength of their core business enables them to extend their proven processes for driving organizational growth to their Sales Affiliates.

Upon becoming a Socius Sales Affiliate, partner organizations will gain access to the full portfolio of Microsoft Dynamics solutions which includes all Dynamics ERP systems and CRM along with Socius’ Cloud Services solutions.  All Socius Sales Affiliates will benefit from gaining access to Socius’ standardized reporting, VAR specific CRM, business intelligence tools and dashboards as well as their Expert Finder tool which will enable them to locate individuals within Socius’ Sales Affiliate network who have expertise in a particular area to address a certain client need.  Sales Affiliates will also benefit from Purchasing Programs and Service offerings that will impact the bottom line quickly and allow Sales Affiliates to focus on what they do best.
Socius has a rich history of partnering with organizations to help them succeed, which they will bring to their Sales Affiliate network.

“Partnership is in the DNA of our organization,” said Jeffrey R. Geisler, Socius’ CEO and Senior Managing Director.  “The name, Socius, is Latin for partner or ally, and we try to embody that spirit of partnership in all that we do.  When we work with a client organization, we strive to be an extension of their team, supporting their business growth.  The same is true of our Sales Affiliates – we are dedicated to fostering the growth and development of the organizations that we partner with as a Master VAR.”
