IT provider Ivanti has splashed out cash on sprucing up its EMEA partner community.
The programme now includes three new EMEA channel initiatives for businesses: a new Platinum Elite partner status, a deal registration promotional period, as well as an enhanced partner portal.
The new Platinum Elite level of Ivanti’s Partner Program has been designed to recognise those partners driving Unified IT to their customers and reward those with whom it has developed strategic and collaborative working relationships.
Softcat, COMPAREX, SCC and Invent AG have already been given top status, but Ivanti says it aims to expand the collective to include additional partners.
Due to be implemented in a “multi-stage process”, the new hub will include full integration with Ivanti’s internal Customer Relationship Management system from Autumn of this year.
The addition will allow SLAs to be added to all deal registrations to track and guarantee response times, as well as speed up the time it takes to deliver solutions to customers.
From January 2020, phase two of the portal upgrade will also see distribution partners able to quote new business directly from the portal, Ivanti added, to enable order to license fulfilment within 15 minutes.
