MONTREAL, Canada – March 29, 2021 – Accedian, a leader in performance analytics and end user experience solutions, is being acknowledged by CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, in its 2021 Partner Program Guide. This annual guide provides a conclusive list of the most distinguished partner programs from leading technology companies that provide products and services through the IT Channel. The 5-Star rating is awarded to an exclusive group of companies that offer solution providers the best of the best, going above and beyond in their partner programs.
Given the importance of IT vendor channel programs, each year CRN develops its Partner Program Guide to provide the channel community with a detailed look at the partner programs offered by IT manufacturers, software developers, service companies, and distributors. Vendors are scored based on investments in program offerings, partner profitability, partner training, education and support, marketing programs and resources, sales support, and communication.
Accedian’s Skylight 4X Partner Program was selected to receive the 5-Star rating based on the breadth of services, consulting, and training available through the program to partners, the substantial business growth opportunities, and its flexible as-a-Service offerings, built around performance visibility, cyber resiliency, and experience monitoring. The program was also commended for its MSP Advantage featuring the unique 4X SNAP managed service creation methodology. The 4X SNAP methodology helps MSPs and MSSPs create and deliver a new managed service in just a few weeks through four specialized engagement workshops: service identification and strategy, service creation, service enablement, and service go-to-market.
“Our Skylight 4X partners are essential in bringing our performance visibility, experience monitoring, and cyber resiliency solutions and services to customers worldwide,” said Sergio Bea, VP of Global Enterprise and Channels at Accedian. “We are extremely proud to have landed on CRN’s prestigious 5-Star Partner Program list such a short time after the launch of the Skylight 4X Program. It is truly a testament to the unmatched partnership experience our team has built and the competitive offerings and consultative services we are offering our partners to differentiate their services, grow their business and profit margins, and get an edge in their respective markets.”
“As innovation continues to fuel the speed and intricacy of technology, solution providers need partners that can keep up and support their developing business.” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. “CRN’s 2021 Partner Program Guide gives insight into the strengths of each organization’s program to recognize those that continually support and push positive change inside the IT channel.”
The 2021 Partner Program Guide will be featured in the April 2021 issue of CRN and online at www.CRN.com/PPG.
