Martus Launches New Partner Program Focused on Strengthening Partner Capabilities and Fueling Joint Growth

Written by Martus Solutions | September 18, 2024

The budgeting and planning software market is poised for robust growth estimated at 10-15% over the next five years driven by technological advancements, the increasing importance of data-driven decision-making, and the ongoing shift towards cloud-based solutions. This is great news for vendors, but we know that we can’t do it alone. 

Introducing the Martus Partner Program! The Martus Partner Program offers resellers and referral partners access to a comprehensive suite of sales, marketing, technical, training, and support resources that can enhance their ability to sell and implement Martus solutions effectively. 

"The Martus Partner Program isn't just about growth—it's about collaboration. The budgeting and planning space is exploding with opportunity, and we want our partners to seize it ," said Chris Grady, Head of Partnerships. " We've built a program that equips partners with the the tools, resources, and support they need to achieve remarkable results, both for their businesses and their clients."

Why Partner with Martus?

Martus integrates with more than 20 accounting and ERP systems, including Sage Intacct, QuickBooks, Microsoft Business Dynamics 365, Blackbaud's FE NXT, and Sage 100 to name a few. This creates a collaborative budgeting environment with robust reporting, forecasting, and people planning modules.

In addition to an impressive list of integration partners, Martus was also recently recognized in the G2 Summer 2024 Report for Best Support and Easiest Admin and received the High Performer Badge in the Budgeting and Reporting Software category.

Meet the Partner Team

Bringing more than 65 years of Channel experience, the Martus partner team is highly versed in working with a variety of partners to help them achieve success. 

A seasoned Channel executive with experience ranging from Microsoft, NetSuite, and most recently Sage Intacct, Rita Strauss brings a wealth of knowledge working with partners. 

Chris Grady is Head of Partnerships and has been with Martus for just over a year. His extensive experience working as a partner and on the vendor side is invaluable to the company and the partners.

Named one of CRN's 50 Most Influential Channel Chiefs, a Top Channel Executive by VARBusiness magazine, CRN magazine’s list of Top 50 Channel Champions for three years in a row, and a long history of being a CRN Channel Chief, Taylor Macdonald’s name is synonymous with the word “Channel”.
