Fortinet revamps International FortiPartner Program

Fortinet announced that it has enhanced its FortiPartner Program for the EMEA and APAC regions. The new program, including new certification and re-aligned partner levels, is designed to help partners build expertise on the full range of Fortinet’s network security products, extend service offerings and expand into new areas of the security market.

Jitendra Ghughal, National Channel Manager, India & SAARC at Fortinet, comments: “Trends for mobility, agile infrastructures and cloud set alongside the evolution in advanced cyberthreats, means organizations increasingly demand high-performance, integrated security solutions and experienced partner support. Our new program will support our resellers to increase expertise and leverage our end-to-end network security solutions to better align their services with the needs of these customers, and ultimately boost value.”

In addition to the NSE and new partner levels, Fortinet has invested in further marketing support across its International channels, including locally-aligned content and multi-lingual telemarketing teams to provide qualified leads for extending sales reach and profitability for partners.

“The contribution of our channel in supporting our growth is paramount,” said Jitendra Ghughal. “This is why we’re committed to constantly improving our partner program strategy in order to foster the business opportunities of all our resellers and distributors."
