EXTREME NETWORKS PARTNER PROGRAM
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.
