NetSuite did not reveal any major reseller signings at this week's SuiteWorld conference. It did announce that Montreal, Quebec-based Big Bang ERP has joined the reseller problem. But with all due respect to those folks, we had been looking more for big-name Microsoft VARs to move to the cloud product. That did not happen and despite NetSuite's keeping the channel under wraps because it had prospects there, I did not run into anyone that I knew who was not already in the program.

Dynamics reseller Columbus has named Keld Jersild Olsen as managing director of the Danish company's operations in the United States. Columbus, which recently purchased Interdyn BMI, also named Thomas Hauge as COO. Olsen was previously SVP of Columbus' worldwide services, which employees 900 consultants. In 2014, the U,S. operations dropped, but with two months of BMI's numbers included in results for the first quarter ended March 31, the U.S. business turned around.

Results for SilverSun Technologies, parent of Sage reseller SWK Technologies, were strong for the first quarter ended March 31. Net income reached $521,165 for the most recently ended period, most than four times the $120,741 the prior year. Revenue grew to $6.5 million, an increase of 31.6 percent from $4.9 million last year's corresponding period. A big portion of the revenue growth was $1.4 million in software revenue, up 126.7 percent from almost $610,00 a year earlier. SWK comprises all of SilverSun's operation. However, the parent of the Livingston, N.J.-based VAR did not single out performance of a specific product.
