Parallels doesn’t draw line on new partner benefits for RAS

Parallels has launched its upgraded Parallels Partner Programme and portal for resellers of Parallels Remote Application Server (Parallels RAS).

Parallels RAS is billed as a cost-effective way for IT departments to deliver virtual desktops and applications to any device.

New Partner Programme reseller benefits include margins of up to 40 percent for Premier partners on new customer deals, when they use the firm’s portal deal registration engine.

There is also free online technical and sales training and certification, sales materials and guides to identify and drive new customer business, a demand generation campaign and other marketing “campaigns in a box” materials, and a visibility and notification engine on upcoming renewals.

Channel resellers will also benefit from updated Parallels Partner Programme portal centralised tools. The Parallels RAS Distribution partner programme has also been updated, with new benefits such as structured joint demand generation initiatives management on the partner portal, visibility to resellers’ pipeline, including renewals, and higher margins on both traditional and service provider licensing.

Parallels RAS version 15.5 has just been launched, with new features that make it simpler to securely deploy virtual desktops and applications to any device.
