February’s Channel Program Changes

Familiar names such as CenturyLink, WTG, NTT America and X4 Solutions are all represented here.
  • February’s Channel Program Changes

    Some pretty big names in the IT and telecom channels made waves with changes last month.

    Some, like ShoreTel, made changes to existing programs. Other channel newbies entered the indirect sales space with a formal partner program for the first time. Master agent/distributors made new deals that impact partners, and a telco giant honored one partner with $1 million.

    Whether a new partner program, enhancements to an existing one, or partnerships that provide solution providers with more options, knowing these changes could improve your business (read: make you more money). Familiar names such as CenturyLink, WTG, NTT America and X4 Solutions are all represented here.

    Cloud. Security. Analytics. Business processes. This one-stop slide show features all of those topics and more.

    Missed January’s big channel changes? Find those here.
