Annual Guide Recognizes the Best Channel Partner Programs in the Market
IRVINE, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — March 23, 2015 — Toshiba’s Business Solutions Division (BSD), a division of Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., today announced it has been awarded a 5-Star rating in The Channel Company’s CRN 2015 Partner Program Guide. This annual directory is the definitive listing of technology vendors that service solution providers or provide products through the IT channel. The 5-Star Partner Program rating recognizes an elite subset of companies that offer solution providers the best partnering elements in their channel programs.
Through the Toshiba Preferred Partner Program, Toshiba offers a full line of smart and reliable mobile computing solutions built for business, including Portégé® laptops, Tecra® notebook computers, Encore tablets and a complete line of accessories. The program gives channel partners a full spectrum of programs, services, marketing support tools, discounts, resources and value-added extras to help partners find, win, retain and grow customers.
To determine the 2015 5-Star recipients, The Channel Company’s Research team assessed each vendor’s application based on investments in program offerings, partner profitability, partner training, education and support, marketing programs and resources, sales support and communication.
“Solution providers have a lot of choices when it comes to selecting vendor partners. Identifying the right vendor, with the right technologies, and the right approach can make all the difference,” said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. “Our annual Partner Program Guide and 5-Star rating recognizes the best channel programs available in the market today to help solution providers determine which vendors deliver the best partner elements for their individual business goals.”
“The channel has always been immensely important to our business and we’ve worked hard to further invest in our partner program, increase partner profitability, expand our reseller base, and deliver even more value to our channel partners and their end users,” said Richard Vaughn, Director of Channel Sales, Business Solutions Division, Toshiba America Information Systems. “Receiving the 5-Star rating in The Channel Company’s CRN 2015 Partner Program Guide is a testament to the quality of our program and the value we bring to partners.”
The 2015 Partner Program Guide will be featured in the April issue of CRN, and online at www.CRN.com.
