Connect Partner Programme & Q1 Contract Wins

Intercede, the leading specialist in digital identities, credential management and secure mobility, is pleased to announce strong progress with its recently launched Connect Partner Programme, which underpins the current and future growth of the Company through new partnerships in Europe, United States, ASEAN, Latin America and Africa. The strength of these new relationships has resulted in a record number of six new customers being signed up during Q1, with orders received totalling in excess of £600,000, most of which will be recognised in the current fiscal year.

Building on the launch of the Connect Partner Programme in February 2020, new and enhanced relationships have been formed via both Technology Partnerships with organisations such as Aware, Yubico, Utimaco, Primekey, Sailpoint, Feitian, Authentrend, GoTrustID and Entrust as well as Reseller Partnerships, including but not limited to CertiPath, Altron, Guidehouse, Expisoft, eSysco, ASKON, Cryptas, WidePoint, TSM and Nevo Technologies.

With the continued rise of data breaches coupled with a shift to remote working and the increased pace of digital transformation, these partners recognise that many of their customers in Federal/Government, Defence & Aerospace, Finance, Healthcare, Industry and Telecoms are looking to enhance their IDAM offerings with Intercede’s MyID products when it comes to strong authentication and digital identities to enable them to secure their customers better.

Klaas van der Leest, Intercede’s CEO, added:

 ”Despite launching our Connect Programme just before the COVID-19 pandemic began, we have made strong progress in the wider partner community as witnessed by the new and refreshed relationships and we fully expect further new partnerships to be added across many regions in 2021. During the last fiscal year, over 90% of new business revenue was booked through the Connect Partner Programme and it is pleasing to see this momentum continuing during the first quarter of the current year.”
