Redesigned portal delivers an enhanced Content Hub, marketing
automation tools, and easier navigation to ensure a superior, more
rewarding partner experience
SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland, April 13, 2020 - Acronis, a global leader in
cyber protection, today introduced a new partner portal that
delivers greater support and enhanced marketing and sales
capabilities to the service providers, distributors, and resellers
in the #CyberFit
Partner Program. The new portal was developed to enhance
partner enablement, providing easy access to the content, tools,
and training that will help them build a successful cyber
protection business.
Given the dramatic growth of the Acronis cloud ecosystem - which
has doubled since 2018, including a 30% increase in partners last
year - the company wanted to revitalize its partner portal with a
familiar, easy-to-use interface while providing new capabilities
that help partners maximize the potential and profitability of
their cyber protection portfolio.
"Acronis knows that our success is tied directly to the success
of our partners, which is why we do all we can to accelerate their
business growth. We recently introduced our flagship Acronis Cyber
Protect Cloud with a no-charge
licensing model to allow for incremental margins, as well as
enhanced incentives for our newly announced #CyberFit Partner
Program," said Jan-Jaap "JJ" Jager, Chief Revenue Officer, Acronis.
"With our new partner portal, we're making it even easier to
leverage those initiatives, putting the knowledge, tools, and
support needed to deliver comprehensive cyber protection at our
partners' fingertips."
Available in six languages and accessible through the existing
partner portal URL, the
new portal puts even more power in the hands of Acronis' service
provider, reseller, and distribution partners. Among the featured
enhancements are:
- Easier navigation with a central dashboard that provides a partner an account overview at a glance with customizable widgets that show support cases, MDF, deal registration, renewal opportunities, and more. Partner program benefits and requirements are immediately accessible, as are special promotional offers. With an interface that mirrors the existing Acronis Management Console, access can be set based on roles and responsibilities.
- Enhanced marketing and sales support, including built-in marketing automation tools that streamline the ability to promote and sell, share email blasts, and offer renewals pipeline management for resellers. Partners also gain access to Acronis' NFR Program as well.
- Ready-made and DIY marketing content that can be executed directly from the portal, including campaigns-in-a-box, email nurture flows, social media content, email blasts, customizable web banners and landing pages, and more provide partners with flexible, self-service marketing opportunities.
- Increased support visibility for both technical and sales tickets with a new Support section that streamlines case submission and provides easily tracked support tickets. Managing sales and renewals opportunities is also made easier.
- Specialized training from the Acronis #CyberFit Academy - including product training, technical certifications, etc. - can also be accessed directly through the new partner portal.
Partners who have participated in testing the new portal agree
that the new capabilities will benefit their go-to-market efforts
and help them streamline their sales and marketing initiatives.
"Acronis has created a seamless and exceptional user interface
with its new Partner Portal. From product management to technical
support, we feel more connected than ever to Acronis' team of
advisors and continue to learn how to improve our own sales
experience on the new platform," said Evangelos Tselios, Cloud
Product Manager at interworks.cloud. "This outstanding development
is well-organized and filled with useful content and information,
truly honoring one of Acronis' true core values of transparency.
This new portal is a great example of how Acronis values its
partners."
All Acronis partners immediately gain benefits through the new
portal. More advanced capabilities are also available to
higher-level partners through the portal.
Anyone interested in seeing a demo of the new Acronis Partner
Portal is encouraged to attend the launch webinar that will be
taking place on Wednesday, April 28. To register and for additional
