Trend Micro Inc., based in Dallas, has launched the Trend Micro Partner Program. By combining elements from its regional and North American partner programs, the security software provider now offers a new and globally aligned program. Roll out of the program will be completed in the first quarter of 2015.
Trend Micro’s portfolio of security solutions complements a range of related solutions, including virtualization and cloud, converged infrastructure, and security management, which are already commonly sold by Trend Micro channel partners. By bundling Trend Micro solutions with products and services from strategic alliance partners such as AWS, HP, IBM, Microsoft, and VMware, channel partners can increase their value to customers while also increasing sales.
The company’s channel education program has been simplified, aligns with the latest industry standards, and provides two levels of training and certification. A new education portal helps accelerate partner enablement and equips channel team members with the knowledge and skills to capitalize on sales opportunities and better serve customers.
To further equip its channel partners, Trend Micro is providing sales and marketing tools through a refreshed Trend Micro partner portal. In addition, the company is developing a new partner portal that†will provide improved deal registration, content syndication, and social media network access, as well as quicker access to support and other enhancements.†
