Micro Focus Featured in CRN's 2019 Partner Program Guide

Annual Guide Recognizes the IT Channel’s Top Partner Programs

1 April 2019

SUNNYVALE, CA – Micro Focus announced today that its Partner Program has earned a 5-Star rating from CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, in its 2019 Partner Program Guide. This annual guide identifies the strongest and most successful partner programs in the channel today, offered by the top technology suppliers for IT products and services. The 5-Star rating recognizes an elite subset of companies that offer solution providers the best partnering elements in their channel programs.

To determine the 2019 5-Star ratings, The Channel Company's research team assessed each supplier's partner program based on investments in program offerings, partner profitability, partner training, education and support, marketing programs and resources, sales support, and communication.

The new, integrated Micro Focus Partner Program was designed and recognized for its ability to deliver on three core principles:

  • Ease of Use: Simplified program structure and streamlined partner portal make it easier for Partners to work with Micro Focus
  • Accessibility: Recognize and reward partners' expertise in Micro Focus' broad product portfolio
  • Opportunity: Drive partner growth and profitability

"With new technologies emerging every year, evaluating which IT vendors to partner with grows increasingly more complex for solution providers," said Bob Skelley, CEO, The Channel Company. "We are proud the CRN Partner Program Guide has become the trusted resource to identify the most rewarding partner programs and provides crucial insight into their strengths and benefits for the channel."

"We are thrilled that CRN has recognized the new Micro Focus partner program as one of the IT Channel’s top programs,” said Mike O’Neill, President Worldwide Indirect Sales at Micro Focus. “Partners are essential to Micro Focus’ business strategy and the new program represents a significant milestone in our partner acceleration strategy. Most importantly, it provides partners with increased opportunities to grow and expand their businesses."

The 2019 Partner Program Guide will be featured in the April issue of CRN and online at www.CRN.com/ppg.
