HPE updates partner programme

Hewlett Packard Enterprise has updated its HPE Partner Ready Vantage programme.

For those not in the know, Partner Ready Vantage is designed for channel partners who want to deliver as-a-service solutions.

HPE said the improvements include comprehensive Centres of Expertise, new competencies and an evolved competency framework, and tools and offerings that drive repeatable profitability and foster long-standing customer relationships for partners.

HPE Vice President of Worldwide Channel & Partner Ecosystem Simon Ewington said the HPE Partner Ready Vantage helps unlock margin-rich opportunities across professional services, managed services, and customer success.

“Partners can now use HPE’s IP, tools, and resources to enable business growth further and increase revenue across the HPE GreenLake  as-a-service portfolio as customers look to them to deploy solutions to enhance and manage their information and data.”

Built on the foundation of the award-winning HPE Partner Ready programme, HPE Partner Ready Vantage is organised into three tracks – Build, Sell, and Service – and features focused Centres of Expertise for partners to enrol and further develop their expertise.

The Build track enables partners to develop, integrate, and create workloads and solutions with HPE GreenLake and comprises the Solution & Development and Technology Validation Centres of Expertise. The Sell track provides partners opportunities to grow recurring revenue and includes the As-a-Service Centre of Expertise.

The Service track empowers partners to enhance customer experiences by deepening their services and comprises Customer Success, Managed Services, and Professional Services Centres of Expertise.
