“The PowerUp Partner Program represents a unique opportunity for channel partners to bring an established yet innovative solution to their customers,” said Jeff Abramowitz, CEO of PowerCloud Systems. “PowerCloud’s Wi-Fi solution offers exceptional value to customers and a profitable service business for our partners. The PowerUp program makes it easy for partners to learn how to sell and support the solution, and it includes meaningful incentives for success.”
PowerCloud products and business model are built with the channel in mind. The CloudCommand platform includes MSPview™, a multi-network dashboard specifically designed for channel partners. The PowerCloud business model enables managed service providers, VARs and system integrators to profitably deliver an enterprise-class Wi-Fi solution to customers in an eminently affordable package with tiered service options.
PowerUp partners use the CloudCommand platform to deliver intelligence, security and control to a network of access points without an expensive, on-site controller. By employing this cloud-based model, partners minimize support costs through rapid, zero-touch deployment and efficient management of PowerCloud’s portfolio of access points. MSPview enables channel partners to centrally manage many end-customer networks, while maintaining the security and logistical isolation of each.
“We’ve deployed the PowerCloud Wi-Fi solution with more than 20 accounts and could not be more pleased with their product and their support,” said Chris Edwards, vice president of Valley Expetec. “We’re excited about the PowerUp program because it will accelerate our growth in the cloud networking market.”
The PowerUp Partner Program has two tiers and enables partners to leverage CloudCommand to deliver a managed service. Services and resources include:
- Dynamic sales support
- Webinars for partners and end-user customers
- Product training
- Demo and evaluation units
- Marketing support
- Lead generation
