Recently, RSA, the Security Division of EMCÂ has announced enhancements to the RSA SecurWorld reseller program providing an ongoing framework to facilitate profitable relationships among its channel partner ecosystem.
The changes to the new program are intended to make it easier than ever before for resellers to learn about, and sell RSA’s portfolio of leading-edge technology by increasing the depth of enablement, tools, and support available.
A key component of these enhancements is the revamped RSA SecurWorld Academy training program, which now leverages online sales and presales curriculums and encompasses solution whiteboards, product demonstrations, and role plays. In addition to being equipped with these training resources, channel partners have access to a range of revenue opportunities ranging from product sales, recurring revenue from maintenance, professional services, training and customer support. This is in addition to multiple financial incentives that RSA SecurWorld partners enjoy based on achieved tier status.
