Dell Technologies offers four different partner program tracks. They are Solutions Providers, Cloud Service Providers, System Integrators, and OEM. Each track has its own goals and purposes, but in general, Dell seeks storage management partners that enable customers to build their own cloud solutions as digital transformation sweeps the enterprise market.
The partner programs are designed to help providers expand their offerings to gain a competitive edge and create new revenue streams. Partnering with a large company like Dell Technologies comes with perks, like accelerated time to service and extended sales resources.
Here are some examples of a few of their partners:
Xerox: specializing in storage, servers, and Dell Endpoint Security.
Advantage Technology: specializing in storage, servers, and core clients.
Sterling Computers Corp: specializing in storage, servers, networking, converged/hyperconverged infrastructure, and data protection services.
Dell Technologies has hundreds of partners from all over the world, so that customers can experience personalized service at the local level.
One example of a Dell Technologies partner success is leading Austrian IT solutions provider, M11 Systems and Services. This company provides both managed and cloud services as well as IT infrastructure and business solutions to medium-sized companies across the Austrian marketplace.
A few years ago, M11 Systems and Services decided to make the switch from selling services to providing end-to-end IT solutions. They wanted to be an organization that included both hardware and software solutions to meet their evolving customer demands. Company leadership concluded that the best way to expand their offerings was to work with a provider that could offer them a complete portfolio of IT solutions.
Peter Ehgartner, the company’s secretary and COO, explains that, “It was an easy decision to choose Dell Technologies’ full range of services and products. The portfolio covers everything that we and our customers need. Dell Technologies differentiates itself significantly through its comprehensive portfolio of services.”
