Tenrox software solutions combine project management and workforce management with financials for cost and revenue planning, tracking and management reporting.

Tenrox was selected to CRN Emerging Tech list on the strength of the company's established solution provider program and its defined guidelines for recruiting channel partners. The Tenrox Referral Partner program demonstrates a clear “channel positive” strategy for driving sales of Tenrox products and expanding the company's base of channel partners. The Tenrox Referral Partner Program offers a multi-tiered remuneration package that includes Instant Referral Cash bonuses, a generous sales commission package, and the opportunity to become a long-term Tenrox channel partner. The program is open to anyone, including resellers, systems integrators or IT consultants, able to refer prospects to Tenrox.

About the Emerging Tech Survey According to the 2007 CRN Emerging Tech Survey, the top reasons solution providers add emerging technologies include, the technology is superior to other products in the market segment; the technology complements a solution providers' existing practice areas; emerging vendors provide better services opportunities; emerging vendors pay better attention to partners; emerging vendors offer higher margins, customers want alternative product choices; and emerging vendors have better joint marketing programs. In addition, 61 percent of solution providers surveyed plan to increase the number of emerging technology vendors they partner with in the next 12 months. "Successful Solution Providers are always looking for new and innovative partners, and the CRN Emerging Tech list provides a way for them to discover a large number of potential new partners who offer a wide range of emerging technologies," said Heather Clancy, vice president and editor of CRN. Vendors who make the CRN Emerging Tech list must have an established solution provider program and formal guidelines for recruiting channel partners. They must demonstrate that its direct sales mix is trending down as evidenced by the company's revenue history, a channel positive or channel neutral strategy for internal sales compensation, and not be a dominant market share player. Final selection to the Emerging Technology list was made at the discretion of the CRN editorial team after a review of the submitted information and conversations with current or targeted partners.
