BlackBerry improves solution provider partner programme

BlackBerry has revamped its Enterprise Partner Program for solution providers. The enhancements to the programme aim to reward those partners that invest in their relationship with the company, the company said.

By enhancing the partner programme on several levels, BlackBerry says it will help partners build new capabilities around the multi-OS EMM platform strategy BlackBerry is pursuing.

The programme includes an integrated and simplified pricing structure along with enhanced partner discounts through deal registration. Solutions providers that want to mobilise their own business by showcasing Good Secure EMM Suites to customers are supported with discounted licenses from BlackBerry.

Richard McLeod, vice president global channels at BlackBerry, said: “BlackBerry aims to help partners growing their business by empowering them to increase their value and improve competitive differentiation through building and developing services around our comprehensive multi-OS EMM platform.”

The new Good Secure EMM Suites from BlackBerry provide partners with a recurring, subscription revenue model. Customers can leverage simple and flexible options to deploy security across devices, apps, content and data, using BES 12, Good Dynamics and WatchDox technology.

The BlackBerry Enterprise Partner Program for solution providers is split into three distinct tiers – Authorised, Gold and Platinum.
