• The program offers three levels of participation – Authorized, Select and Elite – for which partners qualify based on goals, commitment and training.
• Partners have access to Syncsort's iSYNC partner portal featuring a library of product information, ready-to-go campaigns, sales plays, new leads, quoting tools, opportunity registration and market development funds programs.
