Granite Introduces ‘Drive Faster’ to Accelerate Sales Partners’ Success

Granite has also launched “Drive Faster,” a new program designed to help sales partners get up to speed quickly on Granite’s capabilities to support their customers with a range of services and award-winning customer and operations support.
