Tasktop Introduces Certified Services Partner Network


The Leader in Software Lifecycle Integration Teams up with

A Better Solution, IntelliQA and Sodius

VANCOUVER, BC, June 16, 2015– Tasktop, the leader in Software Lifecycle Integration (SLI) and creator of the Eclipse Mylyn open source tool, today announced a Certified Services Partner Program to meet the increasing services demand for its market-leading SLI solutions. 

Initial Certified Services partners include A Better Solution, IntelliQA and Sodius. Eligibility for the new program is based on the capability to deliver excellence using Tasktop accredited implementation resources, and requires partners to complete a set of Tasktop Sync skills training courses to become Tasktop Certified Deployment Specialists.

“The Certified Services Partner network adds real value to our offering,” said Dave West, Tasktop’s chief product officer. “While our solutions are easy to deploy and use, many of our customers’ projects and software delivery environments are complex, and so they can benefit from our carefully vetted partners, which have strong delivery capabilities and share the proactive, customer-focused approach of Tasktop.”
