• System Integrator (SI) Enablement: 
  Partner with SIs to enhance migration skills and co-develop financial offers, including potential cost offsets to accelerate upgrade adoption. 
• Referral Program Development: 
  Build and manage structured SI referral programs to increase both Fonteva and broader Nonprofit pipeline. 
• Pipeline & Revenue Growth: 
  Drive measurable increases in contracted ARR through structured upgrade motions and SI-driven referrals.
