SAN DIEGO, March 2, 2009 – AFSMI, SSPA, and TPSA--the three leading professional associations of the services and support industry--today announced the newest members to join the prestigious Expert Alliance Partner program, which helps technology service organizations identify qualified solutions providers to meet their business needs. The newest businesses to join this elite program include DB Kay and Associates (www.dbkay.com), DG Associates (www.dgassociates.com), FT Works (www.ftworks.com), KCS Institute (www.kcsinstitute.com), Minerva Enterprises (www.minervae.com), StoryQuest (www.storyquest.us), and Value and Pricing Consultants (www.valueandpricing.com).
The Expert Alliance Partner (EAP) program allows a limited number of top industry consultants and solutions providers to promote their service offerings to the members of AFSMI, SSPA, and TPSA. Expert Alliance Partners have the opportunity to participate in the associations’ conferences--as speakers, preconference workshop presenters, and participants in the Technology Services Expo--and to provide articles for the associations’ publications. Companies achieve entry into the EAP program after evaluation by the associations.
“We are very pleased with the success of the EAP program since its 2008 launch,” stated J.B. Wood, president and CEO of AFSMI, SSPA, and TPSA. “The program is a win-win for both our member companies and the organizations involved in the program. It enables our members to identify the most qualified companies to help them achieve their best business results, and the program companies benefit by being able to assist these organizations in key ways. DB Kay and Associates, DG Associates, FT Works, KCS Institute, Minerva Enterprises, StoryQuest, and Value and Pricing Consultants represent some of the best consultants and service providers to our services industry.”
