Lawson Software Announces 2007 Platinum Partner Award Recipients

Lawson Software (Nasdaq:LWSN) today announced the inaugural recipients of the Lawson Platinum Partner Awards. Lawson created this new award program as a way to recognize outstanding business performance and productivity among its channel partners around the world. The awards are separated into categories including "best newcomer,” "simpler is better,” and regional "partner of the year” awards. Recipients of the Lawson partner of the year awards are: Americas region – Sigma S.A. (based in Chile) Europe, Middle East and Africa region – Groupe HELIOS (based in France) Asia Pacific region – Lawson Thailand (formerly Intentia Thailand) Best newcomer – Accentia Middle East Simpler is Better – Intentia Israel and Alfa-Beta Solutions (Netherlands) The Lawson channel management team nominates partners for the Lawson Partner of the Year program. The regional partner of the year awards are based on the best performance in license revenue for software sales. The "Simpler is Better” award is based on the Lawson partner’s ability to sell and deliver Lawson QuickStep solutions or other packaged, preconfigured offerings. The "best newcomer” award is based on outstanding performance by a partner that joined the Lawson partner network within the preceding 12 months. "Lawson has established a highly strategic partner program over the last year, because we know we can deliver greater value to more customers around the world by having the right partners in place,” said Brian Sterrett, vice president of channels and partners for Lawson. "We want to recognize and continually energize our partners – and this award program is just one way for us to do that. Our customers rely on us to have a partner network, which includes approximately 200 partners worldwide, that provides the kind of industry-specific expertise, combined with Lawson’s industry-specific functionality, to help them meet their business objectives.” The partner awards will be presented individually to all award recipients, and the award winners will be recognized during the Lawson Conference and User Exchange (CUE) in Las Vegas in March 2008.
