We are thrilled to be included among the 2011 VAR Stars. Long time industry journalist, Bob Scott, editor of Bob Scott’s Insights, makes the selection based on a variety of factors:
2011 VAR Stars have a practice involving the sale of mid-market financial software and while most derive significant revenue from other sources, accounting software is the core to their business.
Revenue is not a factor in selection and VARs are not rated. The No. 1 and No. 100 members of this list have equal standing. Factors taken into consideration included growth, industry leadership and innovation. There are very large and very small dealers in this list. An effort was also made to selects resellers who represent a broad range of products.
This year, VAR Star candidates were asked what they have done to respond to the economic conditions. Several common areas emerged from those VARs who commented (not all provided this information.) Few of these were surprising, but all are important.
They are as follows:
- Diversifying product lines.
- Holding onto talent.
- Maintaining or increasing marketing budgets.
- Performing mergers and acquisition.
We are honored to be among this list of industry innovators. All of the factors that go into selecting a VAR Star have been things we have considered and acted on to better serve our clients, nonprofits across the country who have put their faith in us to assist them with their fund accounting and fundraising software and technology solutions. We do these things first and foremost for our nonprofit community – but we are delighted to be recognized by such an industry leader.
“We are very proud to work with business partners who are among the best in the industry,” said Tom Miller, VP of Channel Management for Sage. “Our thanks and congratulations for exceptional service to our customers go to our Sage President’s Circle and Chairman’s Club members for 2011.”
We received the news that for the 9th year we have been named to Sage President’s Circle and the 5th consecutive year we’ve been included in the Sage Chairman’s Club. Both awards are for outstanding performation for the company’s 2011 business year.
It’s always nice to win awards and be acknowledged by your partners and colleagues. But we are always aware that what this award really represents is that you, members of the nonprofit community, have put your trust in us. We take that very seriously. And we are grateful and proud to be of service to the wonderful nonprofits that serve our communities and the world.
We thank you for trusting us. We are committed to helping you achieve your mission. The award from Sage simply reminds us of what you have already awarded us. Thank you.
JMT Consulting Group was named a top VAR in the annual VAR 100 compiled by Accounting Today. We appear to be the only company on the list that is focused exclusively on nonprofit organizations and that makes us very proud.
It is a thrill to be included on lists like this because we view it as evidence that we are delivering on our goal of helping nonprofits achieve their mission. It also helps to demonstrate that we have remained strong and consistent over the years – you can take comfort in having selected a partner that will be around for the long term and has the financial strength to invest in the best consultants and staff, the best technology solutions within our portfolio, and the best services to support you and help you move forward with your mission.
Thank you for trusting in us and as a result helping us to be included on this list. We wouldn’t be where we are without you.
