Acronis Added 3,000 Partners Last Six Months

Acronis, Inc. announced that it has added 3,000 new partners in the last six months of 2011, following the introduction of its new Global Partner Program, bringing its worldwide total to over 25,000 partners.

The increase in the number of registered channel partners has been partly attributed to the introduction of the new Global Partner Program which improves the tools, assets and support available to partners. It is a multi-tier progression-based programme offering financial benefits, expanded use of support tools, special pricing, technical training and marketing collateral.

"The value proposition of the partner programme appears to be resonating. More resellers are choosing Acronis, which as coupled with good satisfaction rates of our current partners in Europe1, is demonstrating that our strategy is working. Acronis continues to be a company which truly cares about its partner community," commented Isabelle Delcuvellerie, Country Manager for France and Mediterranean regions at Acronis.

Acronis is focused on recruiting virtualization specific partners to match its product set which enables simple and fast backup. By registering on the partner portal and becoming an Acronis Authorised partner, resellers are entitled to certain benefits, such as receiving a free Acronis vmProtect 6 NFR covering 4 CPUs.
