Arelion Honored with Placement in the 2025 CRN® Partner Program Guide

STOCKHOLM, March 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Arelion, a global Internet carrier, has been honored by CRN^®, a brand of The Channel Company, with inclusion in the prestigious 2025 CRN Partner Program Guide. This annual guide is an essential resource for solution providers seeking vendor partner programs that match their business goals and deliver high partner value.  

The extensive support and resources technology vendors offer through their partner programs are a critical consideration for solution providers assessing which IT vendors, service providers and distributors to team with in building world-class technology solutions. Program elements such as financial incentives, sales and marketing assistance, training and certification, technical support and more can set vendors apart and play a key role in boosting their partners' long-term growth and profitability.

For the 2025 Partner Program Guide, the CRN research team evaluated vendors based on program requirements and offerings such as partner training and education, pre- and post-sales support, marketing programs and resources, technical support and communication.

Arelion was chosen due to its Conflict-Free Channel Program, which is a channel-neutral sales model emphasizing transparent communication and end-to-end service delivery. Arelion's Channel Program has made significant progress in the past year through partnerships with major Technology Services Distributors (TSDs), including Sandler Partners, AVANT, Telarus , App Direct, Bridgepoint and Intelisys. The global Internet carrier's channel-friendly approach strengthens growth potential and value, allowing Trusted Advisors to sell new applications to existing customers without conflicting with Arelion's direct sales team. Arelion operates the #1 ranked global Internet backbone, with its IP customers accounting for over 70 percent of all Internet routes. The carrier is Google VPP-certified, verifying its ability to provide low-latency connectivity to Google's cloud services. Arelion also enables direct cloud connectivity to the top five cloud providers and to numerous Oracle Cloud regions in Mexico.

"We owe CRN's prestigious recognition to our service delivery team's excellence in supporting the global connectivity requirements of wholesale and enterprise customers as they pursue digital transformation through AI/ML applications and other innovative technologies," said Rob Westervelt, Head of Global Channel Sales at Arelion. "This inclusion reinforces our mission to expand our Conflict-Free Channel Program, with our collaborative approach proving essential to building trust, establishing relationships and providing value within the TSD community."

"Being featured on the 2025 CRN Partner Program Guide highlights the dedication these technology vendors have to evolving with solution providers, driving innovation and supporting mutual success," said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content and Executive Editor, CRN, at The Channel Company. "This critical annual project empowers solution providers to identify vendors that are committed to enhancing their partner programs and meeting the always-changing business needs of the channel and end customers. The guide provides deep insight into the distinctive value of each partner program so solution providers can make strategic partnership decisions with confidence."

The 2025 Partner Program Guide will be spotlighted in the April 2025 issue of CRN and published online at www.CRN.com/PPG beginning March 24, 2025.
