Check in with CRN all week for news and analysis of the event.
HP depends on the channel as it looks to rev up its own growth and customers' change to new business models, says HP CEO Meg Whitman. HP kicks off its annual Global Partner Conference with a blizzard of partner program changes aimed at boosting partner sales growth. Here are the 10 top game-changers for HP partners. HP Partner Navigator includes a number of new tools and HP-funded headcount to help make sure the transition goes smoothly. A new sales certification eliminates a model focused on particular product segments and replaces it with a single services certification. |
HP wants to make it easier for its channel partners to bring new management and services to customers' data centers. At this week's HP Global Partner Conference, the company is rolling out several storage solutions aimed squarely at SMB customers. HP vows that the new alliance will ensure more leads, deal opportunities and increased MDF for partners that do business with both Hewlett-Packard Enterprise and HP Inc. The new program aims to drive more business around managed print, mobility services and even 'everything-as-a-service.' |
