Verizon Enterprise Solutions Offers Powerful Answers for Solving Today’s Business Requirements
Verizon is launching a new initiative that will allow its ecosystem of channel partners to expand business to the mid-market through simplified access to the company’s world class of portfolio of cloud, advanced mobility, machine-to-machine, strategic communications and intelligent network solutions. The Verizon Partner Program, is being unveiled today in conjunction with the Company’s participation at the 2013 Channel Partner Expo & Conference in Las Vegas.
Verizon recognizes that medium business owners have a lot on the line everyday and need innovative and reliable technology solutions from a trusted partner that increase productivity and are simple to manage. The Verizon Partner Program combines the Company’s extensive portfolio of business solutions with a strong support model that includes simplified processes, online tools and training to help our program members and customers reach new levels of success.
“The Verizon Partner Program puts customers first, by outfitting all of our channel partners with the right portfolio and support to shorten the sales cycle and immediately meet the demands of the market,” said Janet Schijns, vice president of medium business and channels for Verizon Enterprise Solutions. “Our new initiative is raising the bar in the industry by simplifying processes and providing comprehensive training and tools to create new business opportunities for our program members. Now, partner program members have access to channel managers in the field, marketing development funds and a partner community powered by Salesforce to facilitate a better experience for solutions providers and customers.”
The new program tailors regional and national opportunities for systems integrators, value added resellers, agents and solutions providers to accelerate delivery and adoption of solutions for meeting business requirements. Leading companies including Tech Data Corporation, Telecom Brokerage, Inc. (TBI), SOVA, General Datatech (GDT) and CDW are among the growing list of premier channel partners within the Verizon Partner Program.
The Verizon Partner Program offers three distinct models that include “Agent” which allows members to sell solutions “on behalf of Verizon”; a “Resale” model that provides the flexibility to package and market and resell services; and, a “Sell With” model that does not include Verizon solutions, and instead offers an opportunity to jointly market and present unified and complementary solutions to prospective customers. In addition, the program features a simple, tiered membership structure that allows the flexibility to determine levels of commitment, and also includes simple-to-use-tools and clear and consistent engagement processes.
