Infoblox Introduces New Channel IP (Invest & Profit) Program to Increase Partner Pipeline and Opportunities
February 2012 by Marc Jacob
Infoblox Inc. announced its new Channel Invest & Profit (IP) program designed to empower Infoblox channel partners to maximize profit associated with today’s pressing enterprise IT initiatives, including virtualization, cloud, data center consolidation, security, compliance and IPv6-readiness.
Conventional approaches to operating and managing an enterprise IT network – often manual, time-consuming, error-prone and siloed – have been pushed to their limits by the proliferation of IP-connected devices, the increasing mobility of end users and new virtual and cloud-application delivery models that are driving the need for a dynamic network. The network now needs to conform to a constantly changing computing and application delivery environment. As a result, automated network tools and purpose-built systems are quickly becoming a necessity for enterprise IT departments.
Infoblox is empowering its channel partners to help enterprise IT departments weather this transition by narrowing the automation gap with its automated network control solutions and offering the new Infoblox Channel IP program.
Unique Infoblox Program Offerings Set New Channel Program Standard
The new program includes a host of industry-standard offerings, including tiered discounts, deal registration, partner portal, training and enablement tools as well as several unique opportunities for partners to:
• Achieve Expert Knowledge Transfer – through access to free training programs for advanced certifications that enable their representatives to better educate customers.
• Improve Prospect Pipeline – through qualification for dedicated marketing funds and tailored lead generation programs.
• Increase Customer Awareness – through qualification for pre-configured demo kits, an online demo environment and live systems in a partner’s environment subsidized by Infoblox.
The program also includes opportunities for close alignment of Infoblox sales and channel team members with Infoblox Elite partners, a new select group of Infoblox top 50 partners around the world, to help perform targeted joint marketing, education and demand-generation events.
