Zoom Transforms Global Partner Program, Offers Additional Resources

Zoom has launched its Zoom Up Partner Program, which the company says rewards partners for their continued investments in Zoom. It introduces new ways to engage and leverage the Zoom platform. And for the first time, it offers the resale of Zoom Phone with Zoom calling plans for qualified partners in select countries.

Zoom Up incentivizes partners to become more knowledgeable, the company said. It expands their customer reach and differentiates their business by providing key business benefits.

• It launches Zoom Phone with native capabilities. This enables qualified partners in select countries to sell the full suite of Zoom Phone licenses with Zoom calling plans. It opens the opportunity for resale partners to offer the full Zoom platform.
• Zoom Up provides a single and simple architecture, the company said. It’s a unified program that the company designed to further align Zoom and its partners. These include resellers, carriers, distributors, ISVs, technology solutions brokerages, referral partners and more.

The company has also rolled out an array of other benefits.

• Rewards for partner investment. This newly redesigned program directly aligns partner rewards with the partner’s level of investment in Zoom. As a result, it incentivizes continued growth within Zoom’s ecosystem of partner resources.
• The program gives partners the opportunity to expand their Zoom skills through new competencies and accreditations. Zoom Up provides a clear road map of how partners can further develop their desired areas of expertise.
• The new partner program also unlocks marketing benefits and resources for partners. The Partner Demand Center offers demand generation in any language. Additional marketing development funds are provided for the highest levels of the Zoom Up Partner Program.
