Crystal secured a significant OEM partnership with Microsoft early on, and then leveraged this relationship to expand its OEM and alliance program to more than 400 strategic partners including IBM, SAP, BEA, and Peoplesoft. During his time at Crystal, Matt was intimately involved in the partnering strategy and wore several hats including: strategic alliances, business development, public relations, analyst relations, product marketing, product management, and Vice-President of Sales.
