Polycom, Inc. has launched the Global Partner Program, with four program levels: Authorized, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
The program is designed to encourage Polycom partners develop adjacent technologies and advanced services through Polycom services and practice specializations. Those that complete advanced technical training, have highly skilled specialists on staff and align business development efforts will advance up the program.
“Polycom’s channel partners represent a world-class standard of excellence that goes unmatched within our industry,” said Mark Arman, Polycom vice president of worldwide channel sales. “At the very foundation, our partners bring Polycom’s strategy to life by integrating broader solutions that transform the way people collaborate and get work done. Our new program more directly links the investments our partners make in selling and servicing Polycom solutions to the recognition and rewards they deserve.”
Polycom is also introducing new minimum volume thresholds across all program levels. Joint business planning and new program benchmarks, such as in-house certified presale or technical experts, will support tighter alignment in the field and accelerate sales cycles.
