Ipswitch Network Management Division, developer of the WhatsUp Gold suite of innovative IT management software, announced that it has signed its 100th channel partner in the UK, just over a year since the launch of its new channel partner programme. Edinburgh based Grant McGregor, provider of corporate-quality IT expertise and network computer support services is the 100th reseller.
Ipswitch Network Management Division’s channel programme provides partners with clear communication channels and technical support, coupled with first-class marketing support and initiatives that provide Ipswitch’s UK channel with ample opportunities to capitalise on market drivers and demands. Since revamping the channel programme in 2011, Ipswitch Network Management Division has clearer partner categorisation with accreditation levels of Gold, Silver and Authorised partners.
Grant McGregor joins the Ipswitch Network Management Division’s channel programme as a silver partner and will bolster the line up of seven Gold, 15 Silver and 78 Authorised partners. Grant McGregor is capable of serving as its client’s entire IT department with support, project and IT consultancy services. The addition of WhatsUp Gold to its range of products enables Grant McGregor to provide technical prowess in delivering enterprise level service, regardless of the organisation size.
“Ipswitch Network Management Division’s suite of solutions was something that we felt would perfectly complement our existing portfolio of products. This accompanied by the comprehensive and mature approach of the programme made it really attractive to us,” says Grant McGregor director Jon Towers. “WhatsUp Gold delivers real, tangible benefits to the end user and is capable of monitoring the physical network as well as the virtualised environment through the various plug-ins. We are delighted to be working with Ipswitch Network Management Division and will look to introduce WhatsUp Gold to our ever expanding customer base.”
The Ipswitch Network Management Division channel programme is designed to facilitate the company’s engagement with customers and prospects on a local and international level by providing a host of partner benefits such as an extensive partner portal, streamlined deal registration processes, market-leading margins, a plethora of sales and marketing resources, extensive updated training certification programmes and a wealth of exclusive channel promotions.
