IFS Channel Partner of the Year 2021, Nordics

Addovation, the long-term ERP partner and IFS Gold Channel Partner, has been awarded IFS Channel Partner of the Year 2021, Nordics.

Addovation, the long-term ERP partner and IFS Gold Channel Partner, has been awarded IFS Channel Partner of the Year 2021, Nordics. Addovation scored the highest in total when calculating the net license revenue, lead contribution, the closing of new logos, and the number of IFS Academy certifications.

Mikael Johansson, Business Area Manager IFS at Addovation is excited! “It feels great to win this award and to be recognized for all the hard work we have put into increasing the license revenue and adding new logos to the IFS portfolio. In 2021 we certified a number of our consultants and closed customers such as Orkla House Care and Norautron, and we are looking forward to many more in 2022“. 

After CEO Joakim Hugosson started as CEO at the beginning of 2020, the company has experienced massive growth. “We have been an IFS Gold partner since 2010 and have developed a great partnership and know each other well. We have invested heavily in developing our sales team, IFS competence and other parts of the business the past years, so I am very pleased to reach this milestone in our company history.”

The development on the partner side is one of the reasons why the Swedish business system developer IFS has outgrown its market in recent years. 2021 was characterized by being yet another strong growth year for IFS indirect sales in Nordic and Baltic states.

“IFS’s partner strategy is to have partners of volume rather than volume of partners, meaning we believe in building strong, close, and collaborative relationships that connect our partners with new opportunities of growth, and where they deliver an outstanding customer value. Addovation has proven that they can capitalize on the partner program and at the same time deliver business growth and superior customer value! My congratulations and “hat off” to Addovation,” says Morten Søger, IFS Channel Partner Director Nordics and the Baltics.
