According to the company, the expanded worldwide partner program provides Veritas Software partners with benefits in the areas of technical and online support, certification, as well as increased financial opportunities.

The company said exams are administered at professional testing centers located around the world. Candidates are required to pass a specific number of exams within a track to achieve a Veritas Certified Professional designation. Future phases of the program will offer Storage Management and Disaster Recovery exams based on broader Veritas Software solutions.
Veritas said the Veritas Partner Program provides the following key benefits: A high quality, consistent program that supports Veritas Software partners virtually anywhere in the world; Sales tools, training, and authorization across heterogeneous platforms for maximum customer satisfaction; The opportunity to be officially recognized through the Veritas Certified Professional Program as a highly regarded industry expert in the area of VERITAS Software storage management software products; and a dedicated, secure partner Web site, the Veritas Partner Network, available late February.
