New Partner Portal Launched
Infinidat offers the same training and access to content for its internal teams as for partners, with transparent sharing of intelligence and market-leading solutions. Equipping partners with the data to remain front and center, across new technology and offerings such as Infinidat’s ‘elastic pricing models,’ have made the channel partner portal more accessible than ever.
Hanan Altif, Channel Partner Director – EMEA and APJ at Infinidat: “We nurture close ties and trust with all our partners across EMEA and APJ. For Infinidat’s existing business innovations, such as elastic pricing, where the customer receives the full storage capacity immediately but only pays for the capacity they actually use, we have developed additional channel incentives. This has allowed us to give our family of partners the best tools through which they can offer their customers creative solutions that are financially worthwhile – key to success in our current uncertain economies.”
