Ribbon’s Partner Programs Both Receive 5 Star Rating in CRN’s 2018 Partner Program Guide

To determine the 2018 5-star ratings, The Channel Company’s research team assessed each vendor’s partner program based on investments in program offering, partner profitability, partner training, education and support, marketing programs and resources, sales support and communication. “The Channel has always been a key component in our strategy, so getting this recognition for both of our partner programs from CRN is a tremendous validation,” said Patrick Joggerst, CMO and EVP of Business Development, Ribbon. “We’re laser-focused on empowering our partners with the tools and solutions that help create compelling solutions for their customers.” Ribbon’s two Partner Programs support resellers with a highly competitive business value proposition that, leveraged with their own unique capabilities, allow them to design customized solutions for their customers.

• The Advantage Partner Program offers network communication and transformation solutions including UC applications and services, application servers and high density switched and gateways.
• The Assure Program offers a comprehensive portfolio of Edge and Core SBCs as well as intelligent routing and management solutions.

“Finding the right technology vendor to partner with can be a daunting task, given the vast array of choices now available to solution providers,” said Robert Faletra, Executive Chairman of The Channel Company. “CRN’s Partner Program Guide and 5-Star ratings help them narrow the field and find the best fit, identifying the most rewarding partner programs and providing crucial insight into their strengths and benefits. We are please to present our 2018 PPG list, recognizing the strongest and most successful partner programs in the channel today.”
