MACDONALD OUT AT INFOR

TAYLOR MACDONALDThe final story on this may take some time. But Taylor Macdonald is no longer in his position as vp of worldwide channels at Infor. That information came just as Infor had issued a press release saying it had enlisted 25 new channel partners, which is what Macdonald, the long-time channel champion at Sage North America, had been doing for this vendor.  Infor released a statement that Macdonald had left the company ... drum roll please ... to pursue other opportunities. Infor's prepared statement said, " Taylor devoted his full energy to an evaluation of our current channel program, including extensive travel to visit partners around the globe." And of course, they wished him well.

 

Macdonald had joined Infor just over a year ago and was charged with recruiting and trying to put together Infor disparate channel programs into one offering. A CPA and a former reseller who operated a highly successful VAR business, Macaold.He was at Sage for several years, before being ousted with three other top executives in October 2007 and spent 2008 building a channel for Deltek. He then did the same thing for educational vendor Promethean in 2009 before moving on to Infor about March last year.

Yesterday's Infor release declared the recruitment campaign a success and also offered the opportunity for prospects to sign up for an April 29 Webinar being conducted by the company's chief strategy officer, Bruce Richardson. The release did not announce the names of any of the VARs but the few I've found trolling the Web operate in more than one region, for example  one was a U.S. subsidiary of an Indian company. The descriptions of all suggest they have designated geographies in which to work.
