Commvault spruces up partner programme

Data management outfit Commvault has refreshed its partner programme which will double rewards to top resellers,

Commvault EMEA vice president channels Bruce Park said his company had taken steps to make it more transparent how rewards work and to increase the amount on offer to resellers through the Partner Advantage Programme.

The firm’s top partners, the market builders, will benefit the most from the new programme with the chance to earn an average of 2.5 times payout increase on a year-over-year basis. Distributors will see improvements with those bringing in new business and making the required transactions able to earn 1.65 times more.

“These programme enhancements represent a mutually beneficial step forward for our longstanding partnership with Commvault and the solution provider community”, said Ben Klay, vice president of sales for Arrow Electronics’ Enterprise Computing Solutions Business.

Park said that the model was flexible, and the business development funds could be accessed more easily by partners.

Commvault will be paid out much more in channel funds with this programme, but Park said the support for the changes came from  CEO Sanjay Mirchandani who was a firm Channel believer.
