Extreme Networks is committed to building successful business relationships with our channel partners. That's why we're increasing our investment in every aspect of our channel program—from channel account managers to demand creation programs, sales and marketing resources, and refined processes.

Our enhanced channel partner program delivers a profitable value proposition, as well as an alternative—so you have a better chance to successfully compete in today's increasingly challenging economy. And because every channel partner is different, we focus on developing collaborative selling relationships that encompass your value proposition and business model. Realigned program categories, as well as our updated training, certification and reporting requirements have been tailored to your specific business goals and target markets.

The end result is a channel partnership uniquely built around your needs.
