The company provides a full range of resources to support its business partners such as tailored pricing discounts, sales and technical support, educational and marketing materials.
VASCO’s new North American Partner Program now consists of three levels, VASCO Partner, VASCO Select Partner, and VASCO Ready Premium Partner, to provide its channel partners with tailored benefits depending on their level of commitment. Benefits offered include product training, pre-sales technical support, product demos, trial licensing, deal registration, and MDF dollars. Premium Partners also receive additional marketing support directly from VASCO. The VASCO Ready Premium Partner is the highest level in the program and provides VARs with the ability to offer maximum support to their customers based on a business plan that serves as a foundation for a successful partnership. VASCO also has developed a new partner portal to optimize partner support.
“Extending our channel is part of VASCO’s Enterprise Security strategy. We aim to maximize business opportunities in collaboration with our partners so we can expand our business together,” says Jan Valcke, President and COO of VASCO Data Security. “VASCO’s commitment is to help our partners excel in one of the fastest growing markets by providing a comprehensive Partner Program with a variety of benefits tailored to each partner commitment level.”
