Click to Tweet: Veeam Adds Enhancements to EMEA ProPartner Program
Veeam Software, innovative provider of Protection for the Modern Data Center, today announces a series of enhancements to its EMEA partner program. Veeam’s ProPartner Program has been enhanced to enable partners to provide an even better service to their customers while also securing their business and added value. These new enhancements are a major part of Veeam’s focus on continuing to accelerate their presence in all market segments – SMB, Midmarket and Enterprise.
“Veeam has a channel-based business model and we recognize that the success of our ProPartners has a direct impact on our overall success, “said Gilles Pommier, Vice President of EMEA Channel at Veeam Software. “The new enhancements and updates to our ProPartner Program in EMEA will create a more empowered and enabled channel community. While we continue to deliver the best Protection for the Modern Data Center, we also strive to improve and strengthen our partner training, value-add and profitability as well as integrated marketing support so that our partners maintain their reputation as a trusted advisor to Veeam customers.”
Major enhancements to Veeam’s EMEA ProPartner program include:
“As a system integrator and cloud advisory company, ePact picks our vendors carefully since high standards in both technical and parnership criteria must be met,” said Bart Van Praet, Business development manager at ePact NV, a Veeam Platinum ProPartner. “Veeam’s ProPartner Program has a great framework which ensures a mutual partnership that leads us both to success. As a Veeam Platinum ProPartner in 2014, the new VMCE certification will be a great differentiator for partners like us, showing our (potential) customers, as well as Veeam, our dedication towards technical excellence and outstanding expertise. The ProPartner Program is about investing in each other. We invest in Veeam and Veeam invests in ePact, which makes this collaboration simply unique and beneficial to all of our customers.”
Veeam’s ProPartner Program was recently awarded the top spot in a comprehensive comparative study of backup vendor channel programs conducted by Insalcon, a sales consulting firm, in partnership with Channel Partner, a publication in Germany. Veeam’s ProPartner program was the only channel program out of 18 storage software vendors in the field to achieve five out of five stars. As a part of the award evaluation, Veeam also received the best overall feedback from partners. Channel Partner particularly highlighted the quality of education and training Veeam provides to their ProPartners, as well as outstanding product and sales support.
