Acronis Launches New Streamlined Partner Program for Distributors and Resellers

BURLINGTON, Mass., March 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Acronis ®, the global leader in hybrid cloud data protection and storage, today unveiled details of its new Partner Program. Developed for resellers and distributors, the program is intended to increase profitability and drive deeper engagement with Acronis.

The Acronis Partner Program was created to support resellers and distributors who drive the Acronis product portfolio through to customers. The new program rewards partners with increased deal registration rates to help partners protect their deals and get the best margins in the market and rebates to support accelerated sales and market share of Acronis. The program also provides marketing development funds (MDFs) to partners who are committed to growing together with Acronis and gives free licenses to all partners, so they can be the first to use Acronis technology. Other benefits include being displayed on partner locator, exclusive channel promotions, free sales and technical training and phone/chat support.

The Acronis Partner Program has three tiers, authorized, gold and platinum, to distinguish and reward a partner's sales performance and marketing collaboration.

"Acronis has market-leading products that help business of any size to achieve data privacy and protection goals," said Pat Hurley, General Manager, Americas at Acronis. "Our Partner Program ensures those resellers and distributors, who are at the core of our business, have a state-of-the-art program that gives them an easy-to-use process for increasing margin and profits. Previously, we had various incentives for various products, including margin, rebates, deal registration and accelerators. Now we are making it simple – straight forward margins and rebates based on the level of partner in the program."
