Schneider Electric recently announced its new mySchneider IT Partner Program, which will provide a simplified, innovative and collaborative approach to enable partner growth. This re-vamped program will focus on enabling diverse and evolving business models and allow partners to differentiate their business by becoming a strategic advisor and expert in their market across multiple IT competencies.
The IT channel landscape is constantly evolving. Building on the company’s award-winning channel history, Schneider Electric’s updated IT partner program accommodates this dynamic ecosystem by enabling partners to grow and differentiate their businesses for the long-term. The program focuses on unique specializations, giving partners the flexibility to certify in one or more based on their current capabilities and future aspirations. This further differentiates partners and highlights the true value of a channel ecosystem by:
“At Schneider Electric, we believe that data is our most important asset in an increasingly
connected world. The mySchneider IT Partner Program is one of many such enabling technologies that will assist our partners in efficiently leveraging data for enhanced profitability and sustainability. We are certain that our IT enablement solutions will play a significant role in shaping the IT ecosystem’s future for decades to come,” said Sachin Bhalla, Vice President and Country General Manager, Secure Power Division, India and SAARC said on this announcement.
Over the past ten years, members of Schneider Electric’s IT channel program have reaped strong benefits including discounts, tools and innovative offers from Schneider Electric and its flagship APC brand. Partners participating in the evolved program will stay agile amid today’s evolving market trends, and in turn, produce approximately eight times higher revenue.
Availability of specializations will roll out over the next 12-18 months, through a phased approach including IT Solution Providers, Data Center Solution Providers and Software & Services Providers. The first specialization, IT Solution Provider, which is ideal for IT providers who are experts in IT infrastructure solutions within distributed IT environments, is available now.
Key features of the IT Solutions Provider Specialization include:
Data Driven Program Dashboard: To support new value-based and data-centric requirements, the digital experience has been completely innovated so that partners can see real-time business updates and data. This new program dashboard not only provides partners with transparency, but also identifies core focus areas, should partners choose to level-up in the program for greater competency or benefits.
Business-Specific Tools: Certified partners gain access to the tools needed in today’s environment, including the Local Edge Configurator, which has configured tens of thousands of solutions within the distributed IT space across the world.
Increased Profitability: IT solution providers will gain access to unique deal registration discounts that exceed normal discounts provided through Schneider Electric’s Edge Opportunity Registration (ORP) Program.
mySchneider Rewards: With the return of one of Schneider Electric’s most popular rewards program, mySchneider Rewards, members of the partner account – including sales, engineers, services, and other functions – can earn points from various activities that can be redeemed for over 60,000 items, experiences, merchandise and more.
Dedicated support and account coverage: Ongoing sales account coverage provides support to business building activities and pre- and post-sales support.
