Acronis offers partners opportunity to win up to £100,000
London 30 July 2009 - Acronis is today launching a new partner incentive designed to increase reseller margins by up to 30 % by protecting and rewarding business opportunities.
The Acronis Opportunity Registration Programme (AOR) allows Acronis Certified Partners and Enterprise Solutions Partners to benefit from additional margin for each new opportunity they introduce to Acronis.

That's the reason why we are investing in developing more tools and programmes to help them," says Kevin Moreau, General Manager for Acronis UK and Ireland.
