Juniper’s jolly good jump in AI networking

Juniper Networks is stirring up the AI scene with a fresh twist on its Juniper Partner Advantage (JPA) Programme.

The new scheme helps partners get smart with AI for IT Ops, promising a smooth ride to cash town with reliable, nifty, and far-reaching managed networking services.

It has included a shiny new Partner Assured badge to showcase their mates’ top-notch Juniper skills, which were checked out by the bigwigs at Information Security Systems International (ISSI). It’s all about ensuring customers get the crème de la crème of service while cutting costs.

Juniper’s partner club boss Gordon Mackintosh said the company was laying down the red carpet for partners to flex their value and speed like never before.

Its managed service provider (MSP) designation has ballooned by 44 per cent, thanks to some clever AI tricks that are set to boost partner profits and customer happiness.

The company is big on the green scene, too, pushing for partners to get eco-friendly and help customers hit those climate targets. Plus, they’re tipping their hats to partners who know their stuff in specific industries, ensuring they get the recognition they deserve.

At the centre of it all is a Deal Central Dashboard that Juniper says will make deal-making slicker than a greased weasel, with partners zipping through quotes and lead.

With a whopping 233 per cent growth in their Champions Programme and a 20 per cent sales uptick for the tech-savvy partners, Juniper’s all about connecting the dots and making every link a winner.

Black Box’s Jim McKenna reckons Juniper’s AI networking wizardry and the JPA programme’s new bells and whistles are just the ticket for boosting their as-a-service offerings and increasing revenues.

Nomios Netherlands boss Mohamed El Haddouchi said that the programme was a game-changer for dazzling customers with top-drawer service throughout their journey.
