Features Include New Deal Registration Program and Partner Learning Management System

BOSTON, Nov. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- The Jabra Partner Program(TM) for North America celebrates its one-year anniversary this month, marking GN Netcom's continued commitment to building strong channel partner relationships. Building on the initial success of the program, GN Netcom has developed new partner tools and programs focused on generating increased market share, including a new deal registration program and learning management system. To celebrate the anniversary, GN Netcom organized the first-annual Partner Business Forum where the Company met with ten key partners to share experiences and discussions to help leverage market advantages and opportunities. The forum also gave GN Netcom an opportunity to honor exemplary partners with "Jabra Partner Excellence Awards."

With nearly 200 new partner enrollments since launch, including a portfolio of distributors, value added resellers (VARs), systems integrators, wireless dealers and consultants, the Jabra Partner Program continues to build its impressive partner base around better tools, dedicated resources, and solutions specifically tailored to meet the business needs of Jabra partners and their marketplaces.

GN Netcom has also recently switched to a new learning management system vendor, SyberWorks, based in Waltham, Mass. The system will offer a more robust learning management solution with new partner training tools including dedicated curriculums focused on Unified Communications. Partners can visit Jabra's PartnerNet for a new ROI sales tool which will calculate the return on investment, factoring in efficiency and productivity gains in the workplace, for each Jabra headset purchase. This tool will help customers realize the value-added benefit of Jabra's solutions.

"GN Netcom shares our commitment to innovation, excellence and delivering results," said Scott Carrothers, president, Corporate Telecom Services Inc. "The Jabra Partner Program continues to provide our sales team with the best training, support and incentives to service our customers."

GN Netcom is also working with Computer Market Research (CMR), a third-party vendor offering a suite of channel cleansing and channel data management solutions, which has launched a new deal registration program for Jabra partners. The new deal registration program enables Jabra partners to close more competitive deals successfully by leveraging dedicated partner resources including exclusive discounts.

"GN Netcom is committed to supporting our partners through a flexible and supportive program tailored to meet their needs," said Dave Grazio, director of channel marketing, GN Netcom, Inc. "The new programs and tools available to partners will better equip them for generating increased market share and realizing incremental revenues."
