original Partner Program to help partners create a sustainable,
profitable business model including focus on value-added
services, enhancing technology-specific expertise, providing a
balanced approach to technical staffing and improving
customer satisfaction. Changes included new guidelines for
Premier, Silver and Gold based channel partner's ability to
fulfill a minimum set of requirements: core requirements
(personnel, support infrastructure and customer satisfaction);
specialization requirements, and extra credit requirements,
exceeding the minimum requirements. The program also
included two new introductions:

  • specializations to encourage partners to focus their
    expertise around a specific technology and have the
    expertise to plan, design, implement and support that
    technology.
  • customer satisfaction measurement for partners thus
    enabling channel partners to improve customer
    satisfaction and break away from the competition.
