PR Newswire (US)
BURLINGTON, Massachusetts, November 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
ClickSoftware Technologies Ltd. (NasdaqCM: CKSW), the leading
provider of mobile workforce management and service optimization
solutions, today announced four new reseller wins for its
mid-market field service management solution. ePartners, Inc.,
HickoryTech Information Solutions, MACS and TSI are valuable
additions to ClickSoftware's Channel Partner Program - a program
focused on enabling partners to sell and implement a comprehensive
field service management solution (ClickIMRS) geared towards
service organizations with between 50-500 field employees.
ClickSoftware Channel Partners have recognized the gap in the
market that ClickIMRS addresses and are selling and implementing
this solution. ClickIMRS is the industry's first affordable,
comprehensive field service management and optimization software
that can be deployed in less than 70 days. Previously, mid-sized
companies with up to 500 field resources were forced to choose
between rudimentary manual/paper-based systems that often led to
scheduling problems and enterprise software they couldn't afford.
ClickIMRS bridges the gap, enabling these companies to increase
jobs per day, ensure on-time arrival, reduce time per job, minimize
travel, respond to emergencies more efficiently and strengthen
customer relationships. "Developing strong relationships with
well-focused partners is a key strategy to growing our business,"
said Zvi Piritz, Senior Vice President of Global Sales at
ClickSoftware. "Expanding our Channel Partner Program with the
addition of such well-respected resellers will help drive
additional revenue and business opportunities for ClickSoftware and
its partner community". The new ClickIMRS reseller wins include:

technologies into their existing IT environments. The company's
rich base of experience and expertise ensures that every solution,

looking to leverage its knowledge base of providing solutions to
the industry based around mapping and spatial analysis.
Specifically, we were looking to address the need for field
resource and routing optimization. While we are impressed with the
functionality provided by the ClickIMRS solution, we felt that the
deployment process, which requires "configuration" more so than
"writing code", was a good fit for TSI and its clients," said
Steven Carr, President & Director of Business Development,TSI.
