SEATTLE, Jan. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- WatchGuard®
Technologies, a leader in advanced network security solutions,
today unveiled the WatchGuard Learning Center – an advanced
learning management system for its worldwide channel community of
over 9,000 value-added resellers (VARs) and managed security
service providers (MSSPs). The WatchGuard Learning Center is
accessible from the WatchGuard Partner Portal, delivering
personalized educational paths in sales readiness, channel
enablement, and technical trainings through a web-based learning
environment that can be accessed at any time and from anywhere.
WatchGuardONE is a value-based incentive program for channel
partners that rewards their commitment to WatchGuard in terms of
trained resources dedicated to WatchGuard - rather than revenue
numbers – with Silver, Gold and Platinum levels. Since implementing
the WatchGuardONE partner program, WatchGuard's engaged partners
have experienced a nearly 40 percent growth in revenue. Through the
new WatchGuard Learning Center, partners can choose personalized
training paths and complete courses available both live and on
demand, enabling them to grow and maintain their WatchGuardONE
partner status, while automatically tracking their progress.
WatchGuard has made significant investments in its Partner
Portal to provide channel partners with a one-stop-shop for
enablement tools and resources. With the Partner Portal, they
benefit from a centralized hub for managing their business with
WatchGuard, including business visibility tools, marketing funds
management, integrated marketing campaigns, renewals and deal
registration, automated lead dispatch and opportunities management.
Now with the inclusion of the new advanced learning management
system, all WatchGuard channel partners can just as easily manage
their personalized training experiences.
SUPPORTING QUOTES:
Don Gulling, President,
Verteks Consulting
"The reason I chose to partner with WatchGuard over 10 years ago
is simple – they value their channel partners unlike any other
company in the industry. The level of support I get from WatchGuard
– including the account management team, the technical and sales
trainings, channel enablement tools, and so much more – is truly a
game-changer for my business. While the company has grown
significantly in recent years, their unwavering commitment to
partner relationships has not changed."
Sean Price, SVP, Worldwide
Sales, WatchGuard
"Partner training has always been the foundation of the
WatchGuardONE program. The more trainings our channel partners
achieve, the more WatchGuard rewards their efforts. As the industry
and technology continue to evolve, so do the products and services
we offer, as well as the tools and resources we make available to
our partners. The WatchGuard Learning Center sets the stage to
further enable our channel community as trusted advisors to our
joint customers, with more personalized ways to learn than ever
before."
