5-Star designation in annual guide identifies the IT channel-s most elite vendor partner programs
Avaya today announced it has been named to CRN-s 2013 Partner Program Guide and awarded a 5-Star Partner rating for the fourth consecutive year. The CRN Partner Program Guide is the definitive listing of manufacturers and software publishers that sell through solution providers and provide products to the IT Channel. The guide recognizes those vendors who have channel programs and derive a portion of their sales through the indirect IT Channel. The 5-Star Partner Program rating recognizes an elite subset of Partner Program Guide vendors who give solution providers the best partnering elements in their channel programs.
The list methodology is based on objective criteria that take into account each vendor-s investments in program offerings, partner profitability, partner training, education and support, marketing programs and resources, sales support and communication. Vendors are assessed using information provided in their completed applications.
Avaya-s channel initiatives are driven by the , which consists of over 9,000 partners worldwide, and delivers all of the technical support and training needed to help companies succeed with business collaboration and communications solutions. Avaya Connect partners provide unified communications, contact centers, networking and related services to companies of all sizes around the world. Avaya Connect partners have met certain criteria for solution expertise and customer satisfaction, and can provide multi-vendor solutions that have been approved as Avaya-Compliant.
The 2013 Partner Program Guide will be featured on CRN.com and the 5-Star Partners listing will be highlighted in the March 2013 issue of CRN.
“The companies listed in CRN-s 2013 Partner Program Guide represent a comprehensive list of the best channel programs in the market today. The 5-star award is reserved for vendors that understand that a successful partnership does not rely solely on the technology. By offering their partners tools, education and regular updates, vendors on this list go above and beyond traditional support to ensure a mutually beneficial partnership.”
“Our plans for the growth of Avaya channel partners continue to accelerate as new global compensation programs and incentives such as our Grow Right growth rebate open up new opportunities. Additionally, innovative tools like the Avaya Learning Virtual Center drive more cost-effective, convenient avenues of education for our partners. Achieving a 5-star Partner rating in CRN-s 2013 Partner Program Guide is a great honor, and further proof of the success of our channel strategy.”
