Acronis
#CyberFit Partner Program kicks off 2024 with new incentives and innovations to
fuel rapid growth
BURLINGTON, Mass. - February 5, 2024 - Today,
Acronis is honored to announce that CRN®, a brand
of The Channel Company, has yet again
recognized Alex Ruslyakov on its Channel Chiefs list. The 2024 list marks the
third consecutive year that Ruslyakov has achieved this recognition. The
Channel Chiefs list, released annually by CRN, showcases the top leaders
throughout the IT channel ecosystem who work tirelessly to ensure mutual
success with their partners and customers.
As a channel-first
organization, Acronis continues to evolve it’s #CyberFit Partner Program to best fit the needs of
its dedicated partners. In 2024, Acronis is introducing new updates to the
program with a focus on helping its partners increase ARR and embrace the wide
range of Acronis security offerings.
Most recently, Acronis announced
the native integration of its Advanced Security and Endpoint
Detection and Response (EDR) solutions. Tailored for MSPs, the single solution is offered at a very
competitive price point. The Sales Development Funds (SDF) Program, which
helps support MSPs achieve their growth goals and objectives, provides MDF and
rebates with the partner's commitment to fast growth.
The #CyberFit Partner
Program has also introduced an additional 10% rebate for MSPs who hit their
targets on security offerings, as well as other Acronis Advanced Packs. Partner
Program incentives have been adjusted for distributors to be focused around ARR
growth and incremental active MSPs, rewarding distributors for performance
achievements in that area.
Ruslyakov’s inclusion on
the 2024 Channel Chiefs list is a testament to the 17-year Acronis veteran’s
leadership, partner-first approach, and his team's effectiveness in helping
MSPs accelerate their business growth with robust sales, marketing, and technical
support day in and day out.
"It’s a huge honor to
make CRN's Channel Chief's list three years in a row,” Ruslyakov said. “We
prioritize our partners, and the success of the program reflects the mutual
trust and commitment to joint channel development. Leveraging our market
position and extensive knowledge in cyber protection, we're dedicated to
delivering the safest and most cost-efficient options. This recognition
underscores our commitment to partner success and growth."
Building on the success of
the #TeamUp Program, which has seen
extraordinary growth since launched in February 2021, Acronis introduces the ‘Sports
Ignite’ program providing sports benefits to mid-size and smaller partners with
a unique opportunity for MSPs to deliver Acronis Cyber Protection solutions to professional
sports teams across the globe.
“These channel evangelists
are dedicated to supporting solution providers and achieving growth by
implementing robust partner programs and unique business strategies,” said
Jennifer Follett, VP, US Content, and Executive Editor, CRN, at The Channel
Company. “Their efforts are instrumental in helping partners bring essential
solutions to market. The Channel Company is pleased to acknowledge these
prominent channel leaders and looks forward to chronicling their achievements
throughout the year.”
CRN’s 2024
Channel Chiefs list will be featured in the February 2024 issue of CRN®
Magazine and online at www.CRN.com/ChannelChiefs.
