Schneider Electric Updates its Opportunity Registration Program in Europe, Providing New Financial Incentives to Drive APC Partner Sales - Seite 2

Edge ORP extended to include Alliance solutions

In today's rapidly changing IT landscape, IT channel partners need a way to navigate the complexities of digital transformation and build new revenues from edge computing. There is a growing realisation that no single organisation can "go it alone" and as the move to the edge increases, so does the importance of Alliance partnerships. Schneider Electric is today working together with its Alliance ecosystem to reduce design and configuration challenges via resilient, quick to deploy, edge computing solutions that reduce time to market and cost for end-users.

As part of today's updates, Schneider Electric has also made changes to its Edge ORP, which will grant IT channel partners new discounts for designing and selling pre-integrated Alliance solutions. This includes pre-integrated Cisco 'HyperFlex for the Edge' bundles, which are now easily ordered through a single SKU and qualify for a discount within Edge ORP.

"We're extremely proud of our Alliance partnership with Schneider Electric," said Charlotte Wilson, EMEAR DC and Cloud Sales Lead, Cisco. "With the addition of our hyper-converged technology to Edge ORP, partners have access to highly resilient, pre-integrated data centre systems that work with best-in-class Cisco IT."

"Our collaboration with Schneider Electric will also offer Cisco and APC channel partners access to a greater breadth and depth of edge computing technologies," said Elisabeth De Dobbeleer, EMEAR VP, Channels, Cisco. "We believe this step shows continued commitment to our long-term partnership and will help partners drive revenue through digital transformation."
