Check Point has launched a new partner program designed to strengthen partner capabilities and drive growth, reaffirming its commitment to the channel and maximizing opportunities for joint development.
The program is tailored to enhance partner performance, satisfaction, and deal closure rates, aiming to drive business growth and expedite customer response.
Partners are encouraged to develop specialized expertise to add more value to their services, benefiting from improved access to essential tools and resources for operational efficiency.
Aligned with Check Point’s platform, the program focuses on its end-to-end AI-powered, cloud-delivered security, enabling partners to cross-sell and up-sell advanced security solutions.
The updates emphasize leveraging cutting-edge technologies to equip partners to address diverse cybersecurity challenges.
The program includes a new consolidated tiering model, customer-focused pricing framework, and enhanced deal registration, providing a smooth journey from deal identification to closure.
Moreover, additional training and certification will be available, offering partners with specializations the opportunity to unlock further benefits associated with specialization, including a 20 percent discount.
Partners can access various types of training, including mandatory, product specialization, and add-on service provider training.
The program also offers MSSP partners access to flexible pricing, pay-as-you-go, leasing options, and early availability programs.
Check Point engaged partners early in the development of the partner program and incorporated feedback and insights from partner surveys and advisory board sessions.
Partners have expressed appreciation for complimentary training, the introduction of the MSSP route, the private early availability program, improved tiering and discount structure, enhanced transparency in pricing, and the ability to drive services and profitability through differentiation.
With the introduction of the new partner program, Check Point partners such as Six Degrees Consulting are empowered to deliver competitive solutions to clients nationally while expanding their reach.
The focus on specialization and certification aligns with their commitment to providing top-tier security services, ensuring clients receive top-notch protection against potential threats.
