Black
Box Corporation (NASDAQ:BBOX), a leading technology solutions
provider, today announced it has been awarded a 5-Star rating in The
Channel Company’s CRN® 2015 Partner Program Guide. This annual directory
is the definitive listing of technology vendors that service solution
providers or provide products through IT channels. The 5-Star Partner
Program rating recognizes an elite subset of companies that offer
solution providers the best partnering elements in their channel
programs.
The Black Box Channel Program starts with differentiated Black Box
products, reseller profitability, a dedicated reseller support team, and
free technical support experts. Program highlights include aggressive
reseller discounts, deal registration programs, SKU database feeds and
downloads, unmatched product warranties, fast delivery, exclusive
promotions, custom builds, and event and trade show support.
To determine the 2015 5-Star recipients, The Channel Company’s research
team assessed each vendor’s application based on investments in program
offerings, partner profitability, partner training, education and
support, marketing programs and resources, sales support and
communication.
“Solution providers have a lot of choices when it comes to selecting
vendor partners. Identifying the right vendor, with the right
technologies and the right approach can make all the difference,” said
Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. “Our annual Partner Program
Guide and 5-Star rating recognizes the very best channel programs
available in the market today to help solution providers determine which
vendor delivers the best partner elements for their individual business
goals.”
“We’re honored to receive the 5-Star rating from CRN for three
consecutive years,” said Steve Runkel, Vice President of Sales,
Technology Products Solutions at Black Box. “We care about our channel
partners, and CRN’s Partner Program rating system highlights our
commitment to provide our channel partners with the support, resources,
tools, and award-winning networking technologies they need to grow their
business and remain profitable.”
The 2015 Partner Program Guide will be featured in the April issue of
CRN, and online at www.CRN.com.
