He also spent more than five years at Salesforce where he led partner growth for all cloud products in EMEA.
“I’m looking forward to serving as a resource to organizations in†Europe, the†Middle East,†and Asia,†to ensure they digitally transform business and achieve process excellence,” Haarhaus said.
Nintex: Accelerating Business Success in 2019
Nintex’s expanded senior leadership team reinforces the privately held company’s continued growth trajectory in the fast-growing digital process automation category. In†January 2019,†Nintex partnered with Adobe†to bring native e-signatures to the Nintex Platform, under the brand Nintex Sign powered by Adobe Sign. In†March 2019, Nintex announced its†acquisition of the maker of Foxtrot RPA,†making end-to-end automation a reality with the powerful capabilities of the Nintex platform.
One week later, Forrester Research named Nintex a†Leader†in†The Forrester Wave: Digital Process Automation For Wide Deployments, Q1 2019.†Nintex received the highest scores in two of the three main evaluation categories, strategy, and market presence. The report also does not include Nintex’s capabilities for e-signature or RPA, as those announcements were made after the Wave research concluded.
Nintex then started its new fiscal year (FY20) with a†strong showing at Microsoft Inspire, Microsoft’s worldwide partner conference,†July 14-18, 2019, in†Las Vegas. Nintex and Adobe announced the on-premises availability of†Nintex Sign for SharePoint customers and, while at Inspire, Nintex CEO†Eric Johnson†was recognized by Microsoft with the†2019 Microsoft US Partner Award for ISV Co-Sell Impact. Nintex achieved more co-sell wins in†the United States†and globally than any other Microsoft’s independent software vendors (ISV). †
Nintex also recently recognized 15 of its top channel partners with†2019 Nintex Partner Awards†for their business transformation success and impact with Nintex customers.
