Inclusion recognizes Intermedia’s dedication to enabling partner profitability with premier partner programs
2017-09-18
Intermedia
, a leading cloud business applications provider, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has
recognized Intermedia in its 2017 Cloud Partner Program Guide. This
exclusive guide lists those leading technology providers with cloud-related
partner programs that enable and accelerate the growth of cloud initiatives
within the channel.
The CRN 2017 Cloud Partner Program Guide serves as a valuable resource for
solution providers navigating the booming cloud marketplace, helping them
to identify technology suppliers with innovative cloud offerings and
partner programs. To qualify for participation in the Cloud Partner Program
Guide, technology vendors must have a unique set of partner program
benefits for solution providers that deliver cloud infrastructure or
applications.
“In a saturated cloud market, it can be difficult for solution providers to
differentiate among cloud vendors and find the right ones to partner with,”
said Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company. “CRN’s Cloud Partner
Program Guide simplifies this painstaking process, identifying the cloud
partner programs with a compelling combination of resources, support,
training and financial incentives. Our 2017 guide features a strong lineup
of cutting-edge companies with proven track records of helping partners
meet and exceed their customers’ needs.”
An abundance of free resources available to all partners
Intermedia channel programs and resources are available to all partners to
help drive growth at every stage of the customer lifecycle, including:
training, educational materials, marketing and sales support, complimentary
onboarding and migration, and J.D. Power-certified 24/7/365 support.
Further, Intermedia allows partners to set their own margins with no
ceiling. And by enabling partners to sell under their own brand, partners
are not only immediately differentiated in their respective markets, but
are also in control of the customer relationship.
In August, Intermedia took its premier partner program up another notch by
announcing new partner program incentives
. Eric Martorano, Intermedia’s CRO explains:
“We are a ‘partner first’ organization and are committed to taking our
partners’ businesses to even greater heights and profitability. Our new
tiered program – featuring Registered, Gold and Platinum tiers based on
monthly recurring revenue (MRR) – is designed to reward our partners the
more they sell. All Registered partners get access to amazing free
resources to help them drive profitable cloud businesses, including
everything from white-labeled automated marketing campaigns with robust
analytics to J.D. Power-certified support. Once a partner hits just $5,000
in new MRR, they achieve Platinum status, which entitles them to a number
of enhanced benefits, including up to $10,000 in market development funds.
It’s humbling that CRN and The Channel Company have recognized the impact
our partner program has had, and its ability to accelerate business growth
for partners in the cloud.”
