WATERLOO, Ont., April 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- BlackBerry Limited
(NYSE: BB; TSX: BB) today announced the BlackBerry Enterprise
Partner Program and the BlackBerry Cylance Partner Program both
received a 5-Star rating from CRN®, a brand of
The Channel Company, in its 2020 Partner Program Guide. The annual
guide is the definitive listing of the most rewarding partner
programs from technology companies that provide products and
services through the IT channel. This is the fourth consecutive
year both programs have received the 5-Star rating awarded to an
elite group of companies that offer solution providers the best of
the best in their partner programs.
The Channel Company's research team analyzed each vendor's
partner program to determine the 2020 5-Star ratings. Each was
scored based on several factors, including investments in program
offerings, partner profitability, partner training, education and
support, marketing programs and resources, sales support, and
communication. Based on that assessment, the partner program with
BlackBerry stands among the elite technology suppliers in the IT
channel, providing maximum value and support for solution
providers.
"With the speed and complexity of technology today, solution
providers need partners that can keep pace and support their
growing business," said Bob Skelley,
CEO of The Channel Company. "CRN's Partner Program Guide features
insight into the strengths and benefits of each company's program
to identify those that truly support and drive positive change
within the IT channel."
The BlackBerry Partner Program offers prevention-first
predictive security solutions and a broad spectrum of consulting
services supported by field sales and marketing support, technical
support, training and tools. BlackBerry offers the most
comprehensive suite of software and services for securing and
enabling the Internet of Things (IoT), allowing partners to support
changing customer needs in an increasingly fragmented world of
endpoints.
"Partner protection, enhanced margins, incumbency with renewals
and continued enablement are the foundation of the BlackBerry
Partner Program," said May Mitchell,
Vice President of Global Channel Sales and Field Marketing at
BlackBerry. "Our partner programs' four consecutive 5-star ratings
are a testament to the passion our team has for enabling partners
to grow."
The 2020 Partner Program Guide will be featured in the April
issue of CRN® and online at www.CRN.com/ppg.
