The company recently introduced the new Panzura Guarantee, a 30-day, no-risk speed-to-implementation promise for taking the Panzura global file system live via a global network of resellers, integration and MSP partners.
In addition, Panzura offers a set of incentives to boost success and profitability including a 35% d******* on all sales, and generous SPIFFs. All have been designed to address the challenges of making money in the channel in a post-pandemic economy.
“Technology partners, systems integrators and the reseller community are pivotal to Panzura’s success,” said Brogan. “My priority is to remain tightly aligned with them, so we can continue pushing the limits together, and help our shared customers move fast toward digital transformation with a smart, secure solution to manage their hybrid-cloud data.”
