Axonom Customer Wins Elite Award in 2012 CRN Magazine Partner Programs Guide

Nexsan Channel Program Awarded Five Star Rating in 2012 CRN Magazine Partner Programs Guide

CRN Magazine's Program GuideOn behalf of everyone at Axonom, I am excited to announce and congratulate our customer, Nexsan Corporation, on their recent Five Star Rating Partner Program Award by CRN Magazine.

The 5-Star Partner Program rating recognizes the elite subset of Partner Program Guide vendors that give solution providers the best partnering elements in their channel programs. This award is a direct result of Nexan’s hard work, dedication, and commitment to providing the necessary tools and resources for their channel partners to be successful.

Channel Program Award

The 2012 CRN Partner Programs Guide and CRN 5-Star Rating is the definitive listing of manufacturers and software publishers that support solution providers with exceptional products and programs. CRN’s Partner Programs Guide recognizes those vendors with business models that derive their revenue through the indirect IT Channel.

Nexsan has developed a sales environment where partners are first and foremost to its go-to-market strategy. The company provides partners with world-class products they can trust and a time-tested partner program that rewards their efforts. With a focus on the channel, Nexsan contributes significant resources to promote channel efforts, allowing partners to easily uphold their trusted advisory status. Exceptional channel support is enhanced by the Nexsan’s line of Flexible Storage Systems.

The 5-Star Partner Program Guide is assembled by UBM Channel Research using a methodology it developed for assessing information provided in vendors’ PPG applications. The objective criteria include vendor investments in program offerings, partner profitability, partner training, education and support, marketing programs and resources, sales support and communication.

“Nexsan gets the channel and recognizes its dynamic nature which is increasingly important as solution providers address an increasingly diverse range of customer challenges,” said Lisa Mehl, President, DKAMSI. “As a longstanding Nexsan channel partner, we have benefitted from the company’s partner organization and now deploy their flexible storage products in 90% of our accounts. Nexsan’s responsiveness to customer requirements and their ability to turn market insight into sales is a real win for the company and its partners.”

“The Powertrak Partner Portal and Product Configurator gives Nexsan a platform to easily and quickly add the necessary information and resources our channel partners need to succeed. With Powertrak, our team provides partners with training, education and support, marketing programs and resources, sales support and communication in one central location.”
