  • December 10, 2019
Our latest programs recap features big names.

AT&T realigned two of its indirect programs, and Salesforce dropped a hefty investment into its consultancy program.

Those are two of the behemoths in our latest monthly roundup, which features a wide variety of companies. Two master agents announced new initiatives, Menlo Security announced a new channel program, Ingram Micro unveiled a new road map and Nextiva previewed its new program. HPE, Cato Networks and Cisco are some of the other companies represented.

We’ve assembled 12 mini-stories below recapping the most significant updates in the channel. Scroll through the images below to see the highlights.

AT&T

AT&T Partner Solutions fine-tuned its Alliance Channel and ACC Business programs.

Partners that work with both ACC and the Alliance Channel now deal with a single AT&T channel manager instead of two. The Alliance Channel has also shifted to place master agent partners in a different group from traditional agents.

Stacey Marx, AT&T Partner Solutions’ senior vice president and channel chief, explained the changes to us in an interview.
Growth
TBI

The Chicago-based master agent launched an educational unit.

Tech Guidance includes case studies and other informational content that tech consultants and solution engineers can access for free. TBI hosts Tech Guidance on its own website and says that technology buyers can use it to learn about various technologies, including SD-WAN, colocation and security.

Read about the new unit.
Growth
Nextiva

Nextiva laid out plans to launch a new partner program in January.

Telarus

The Utah-based master agent extended operations into the United Kingdom.

Telarus hired Greg McVey as regional vice president of the U.K. and entrusted him with recruiting partners and suppliers in the in the area. The expansion follows recent moves into Oceania and Canada.

“With Telarus’ help, we will create a British version of the company using their 18 years of best practice knowledge, proprietary technology, and understanding of the industry spread across 200 U.S.-based employees," McVey said.

Learn more about why Telarus made the purchase.
Growth
Ingram Micro

Ingram Micro is working to enhance its incentives and compensation, along with many other investments.

The distributor laid out its 2020 road map at its Ingram Micro One event in Aurora, Colorado. Its financial updates include the Ingram Micro Managed Services financing program, which is available to U.S. and Canadian MSPs.

"Our job is a couple of things: No. 1 is that we want to help you lower your cost of transactions,” said Ingram Micro's executive vice president and group president of the Americas.

Lynn Haber covered the news.
Growth
Cisco

The vendor gave partners new opportunities related to its DevNet developer program.

Cisco launched a partner-specific DevNet Specialization that acknowledges skill in areas like DevOps and network automation. Cisco also launched three programs, including a "Use Accelerator Bonus," to encourage partners to drive software, subscription and services.

The company grew its partner software business 26% during the previous year.

Lynn Haber wrote about Cisco at its recent Partner Summit.

Cato Networks rolled out a new channel program.

The two-tier program gives partners free training and certifications. Select partners will take advantage of market development funds and other benefits. The vendor refreshed its partner portal, whose functions include training and deal registration. 

 “We believe in supporting our partners but at the same time giving them maximum independence," the company's chief revenue officer said.

Growth
HPE

HPE enhanced its Partner Ready program to drive partner adoption of its GreenLake IT consumption model.

Salesforce

Partners enrolled in Salesforce's consulting program could benefit from the corporation's latest investment.

The software giant's corporate investment group poured $50 million into its Consultant Trailblazer Fund. Partners in the consulting program that demonstrate fast growth are eligible.
