A note from<\/em> Nick Tidd, Vice President of the Global Partner Organization at Poly<\/em><\/p>\n Poly is proud to introduce its reimagined partner program that combines the award-winning Polycom and Plantronics programs into one comprehensive and convenient model that is accessible for partners at all levels.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Poly strives to be the solution of choice wherever collaboration clouds reach people \u2014 delivering a breadth of smart solutions that help partners capitalize on the many ways people communicate and collaborate today.<\/p>\n Our new program unifies more than 15,000 partners, big and small and shifts the evaluation of partner levels from a focus on revenue to an emphasis on involvement with Poly to support innovation and mutual growth. The model is built around three categories:<\/p>\n The question that drove the design of our new global program was, \u201cwhy partner with Poly\u201d? From there, we plucked the best parts of our legacy programs to develop our new unified program. We took these combined insights and best practices and created our new cutting-edge portal that adds tremendous value to the businesses of those partnered with Poly.<\/p>\n The new global portal features easy, real-time access to assets, training, tools and content that partners need to successfully go to market.<\/p>\n \u201cPoly\u2019s new partner program offers new tools, business opportunities and a refreshing business mindset for the Polycom and Plantronics partners,\u201d said Ira M. Weinstein, founder and managing partner at analyst firm Recon Research. \u201cMany vendor channel programs focus on revenue only, which naturally favors large players over small ones. This new program levels the playing field by rewarding partners for investments they make in working with Poly, not just the number of devices they sell.\u00a0Poly\u2019s new partner portal and related support tools will help partners stay up-to-date and differentiate themselves in this fast-paced market.\u201d<\/p>\n For questions related to the new partner program or portal:<\/strong><\/p>\n A note from Nick Tidd, Vice President of the Global […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42,"featured_media":4087,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[547,524],"tags":[527,1584,1585,1586,1587,1588,1589],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.poly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4086"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.poly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.poly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.poly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/42"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.poly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4086"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.poly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4086\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.poly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4087"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.poly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.poly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4086"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.poly.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a><\/h4>\n
