Harlan, <\/em>IA and Plano, TX (Oct. 30, 2017)<\/em> \u2014 Heartland Technology Group and Service Leadership Inc. today announced a new five-year extension to their strategic partnership delivering Service Leadership Index benchmarking to HTG\u2019s peer group members worldwide.<\/p>\n

This represents the second enhanced extension to the partnership established by the two companies in 2008. Under the new extension, all solution provider members of HTG\u2019s face-to-face peer groups will continue to participate in the latest version of the industry-leading quarterly Service Leadership Index benchmark. This unique service provides more than 80 critical Best-in-Class metrics, enabling performance improvements and accountability in all areas of the solution provider\u2019s business.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe alliance with Service Leadership has proven to be of tremendous value to our peer group members, providing them access to the industry\u2019s leading benchmark and empirically proven best practices,\u201d said Arlin Sorensen, CEO, HTG. \u201cExtending and enhancing this alliance for an additional five years is part of HTG\u2019s ongoing commitment to deliver unparalleled value to our members.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to extend our already strong relationship with HTG,\u201d said Paul Dippell, CEO of Service Leadership. \u201cNot only is HTG the most successful IT Solution Provider peer group operator worldwide, but also the one providing the most value across the breadth of goals Solution Provider owners set for themselves. HTG\u2019s dedication to its members and confidence in the value it delivers is demonstrated by the fact that the S-L Index enables HTG members to compare themselves against the Best-in-Class not just within HTG but outside the HTG community as well. Since 2008, our benchmarking has come a long way, in part because we strive to keep up with HTG. We look forward to continuing to deliver the most accurate and actionable benchmark in the business to HTG\u2019s peer group members.\u201d<\/p>\n
