New Relic, Inc., the leading software-as-a-service provider of application performance management solutions, today announced several new additions to its Affiliate Program. The program enables web development firms, software vendors, and user groups who focus on Java or Ruby applications to make New Relic RPM available to their clients and has attracted more than 80 members to date.

The newest affiliates include Agile Commerce, Black Ninja Software, Crowd, Northshore Ruby Brigade, RWL, Sasquatch Modern Software Applications, Inc., and Traen.

"Much of what makes our business successful is that, in addition to building robust web applications for our clients, we also build very close and trusting relationships with them," Michael Hartmann, IT Architect at Traen. "Our clients expect a very high level of service from the web applications that we create and deploy with them. Partnering with New Relic to provide RPM to our clients allows us to collaboratively ensure that the technology solutions we provide are meeting performance and business goals."

"Over the past year New Relic’s affiliate program has been a remarkable success," said Bill Lapcevic, New Relic’s vice-president of business development. "We are pleased to count these organizations among our growing list of partners and we look forward to adding many more affiliates in the months ahead. This program presents an effective and rewarding opportunity for consultants, development firms, and user groups to offer proven application management capabilities to their constituents, and help them ensure superior online service delivery."
