“What does the PartnerNetwork™ mean to me? Everything,” says Kelvin Hurdle, the new North American water sales industry manager at Rockwell Automation. He understands our strategic relationships are an integral part of our water industry success.
Stepping into the role from the business development position, Hurdle helped define the tight-knit community known as The Water Industry PartnerNetwork. The team, as he fondly refers to it, is a dedicated group of companies with demonstrated industry experience and proven competency with the Rockwell Automation® control and power platform, providing integrated systems, manufactured products and value-add services.
Together, we help water municipalities become more efficient, stable and compliant to improve the quality of life. It takes different partner types to comprise the PartnerNetwork and to supply all the various needs of the water wastewater industry, and their unique capabilities when coupled with Rockwell Automation controls deliver the solutions needed in this demanding industry.
Our Encompass™ Product Partners offer product technologies that round out our offering for water applications. Encompass Product Partner referenced products offer unique capabilities that tie directly into Rockwell Automation control systems through simplified configuration and integration tools.
By forming a strong global commitment with us, our Alliance Partners develop capabilities and provide seamless solutions that give the strongest technological, competitive and strategic advantages across the water supply chain. Our combined solutions are founded on our alignment around industry expertise and complementary offerings; open, industry standards; collaboration and leadership.
