Sophos motivates Partners by offering higher margins, training
and growth opportunity
Lynnfield, MA - Sophos, a world leader in corporate anti-virus
solutions, today announced that it has re-launched the Sophos Partner Program in North America to
drive channel growth. The enhanced Partner Program will focus on
the unique needs of consultants, value-added resellers, systems
integrators and corporate resellers who are dedicated to providing
best-of-breed security solutions coupled with the highest quality
of services.
Partners who dedicate themselves to Sophos and consistently
demonstrate their commitment through active selling and solution
recommendation, will be given the opportunity to attain higher
margins, increased joint marketing resources and access to a
channel team that is devoted to helping partners achieve their
goals.
Unlike other channel programs in the industry, the Sophos
Partner Program (SPP) strives to reward a Partner's dedication and
consistency, which is more important than the size and revenue.
"Sophos makes it easy for Partners to put money in their pockets
if they prove themselves through active selling, focus and
commitment," said Stuart Maskell of NW Tech, a San Diego, CA based
Certified Partner. "Sophos keeps it simple - the more you put into
the partnership, the more you get out of the relationship. Sophos
has been extremely supportive and this revamped Partner Program
will make a good thing even better."
"This Partner Program was devised to attract serious Partners
and motivate current Partners to progress to the next level," said
deMarie Malnar, channel manager at Sophos. "If Partners invest in
Sophos, they are guaranteed to achieve tremendous success."
The restructured Partner Program offers three levels of
partnerships:
Authorized Reseller, Partner and Certified Partner. Discounts
are determined based on the status of the Partner by factoring
consistent new business revenue, completion of training courses and
professional services provided around the Sophos solutions.
Sophos's channel team will be working with the OEM team, who has
established relationships with other security industry leaders, to
provide even more opportunity for partners through a best-of-breed
security solution.
Current Partners will also see other changes in the Sophos
Partner Program such as an improved secure Partner website and
additional on-line training.
