Chris Burleson, a veteran reseller, has joined Oxnard, Calif.-based Western Computer as Business Development Manager. Burleson was CEO and owner of ProData Consulting of Tulsa, Okla., from March 1983 through August 2008. At that point, ProData, a long-time member of the Interdyn consortium, was acquired by Aztec Systems, based in Carrollton, Texas, and Burleson was EVP of sales and co-owner of that company from September 2008 through September 2012.

SWK Technologies has sold two Point of Sale products to Point Solutions. The products, Point of Sale and Point of Sale Professional, were acquired in 2012 with SWK's purchase of the assets for HighTower, the failed Chicago-area Sage reseller.

Infor said this week that 163 organizations joined the Infor Partner Network last year with 43 of these in the United States.

Was starting to wonder why Intacct had been so quiet over the last few months. But that got answered this week with the announcement the company raised $45 million in venture capital and debt funding. In a prepared statement, Intacct said it would invest in company growth and expanded product capabilities. The latter strikes me as particularly important because, like most cloud companies, Intacct could use more features. The book on Intacct has been what it has is really good; it just needs more.
