Google Cloud and a number of other technology vendors made enhancements and changes to their channel programs last month.

Suppliers in the IT, telecommunications and cloud communications markets continue to court partners with new benefits. Some, like Schneider Electric, made the updates based on extensive partner feedback.

Other vendors are changing their programs to support service-oriented partners. HPE, for example, rolled out a new program to that end.

Some vendors have made new certifications to bolster their partners’ credibility. Aryaka Networks rolled out new curricula, and SAP added new incentives for partners that seek certification.

The agent side of the channel saw some intrigue, as one of the largest service providers announced a direct agreement with a partner. In addition, one of the remaining technology services distributors unveiled a loyalty program.

Scroll through the images above for 20 stories of vendors like Google Cloud, Lumen and HPE updating their channel partner programs.
