Tognoni was CEO of Battery-owned company, Made2Manage (which was then the former Consona) when that business dropped its channel in the United States. All Swedish partner agreements expire by 2016. Daniel Gröhlin, general manager of the Swedish subsidiary, said Jeeves continues to rely on its channel outside Sweden. The company has a small channel here, including QBC of Amherst, N.Y., which picked up the Jeeves line in 2010; CompuTec Integrated Solutions, in Hartland, Wis., which handles Jeeves Manufacturing, along with Ibis Distribution; and the ERP Pro of Fort Myers, Fla.; not a very big for almost five years in the U.S. My surmise is that some people philosophically are not fond of channels.
