What is Cintrifuge?
4
It is our new VIP Program for Cincom MS Partner Advocates which offers our partners the opportunity to increase their personal social media presence and achieve recognition as thought leaders within the community. We achieve this by identifying industry and product specific discussions on the internet and pointing our members to those conversations, blogs, forums, articles, etc. The members are then free to participate in challenges we set. Members can collect points by completing such challenges. We will make sure that throughout the duration of their membership they will receive little gestures or tokens of appreciation.
