CHICAGO – April 3, 2024— Nitel, a leading next-generation technology service provider, has been honored by CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, with inclusion in its 2024 Partner Program Guide. This annual guide provides essential information to solution providers exploring technology vendor partner programs that offer high value and align with their business needs and goals.

According to CRN, the breadth and depth of support and resources technology vendors offer through their partner programs is a critical consideration for solution providers assessing which IT vendors, service providers, and distributors to team with in building world-class technology solutions. Program elements such as financial incentives, sales and marketing assistance, training and certification, technical support and more can set vendors apart and play a key role in boosting their partners’ long-term growth. That’s why for the 2024 Partner Program Guide, CRN evaluated vendors based on program requirements and offerings, such as partner training and education, pre- and post-sales support, marketing programs and resources, technical support, and communication.

“We are extremely honored with CRN’s recognition,” said Jim Glackin, executive vice president of Channel Sales at Nitel. “We work very hard to support our channel as it is the foundation of our business and brand. Our recent focus has been on customer success and our channel partners have embraced this focus to deliver the best services possible for customers.”

“Recognition on this list reflects the value of spotlighted vendor partner programs and their commitment to evolving with solution providers and supporting IT channel success,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. content and executive editor, CRN, at The Channel Company. “This

recognition empowers solution providers to discover vendors that keep pace with the evolving requirements of their business and their clients. With CRN’s 2024 Partner Program Guide, solution providers can access deep insights into the unique strengths of each partner program and the vendors who demonstrate dedication to their partner community.”

The 2024 Partner Program Guide was featured in the April 2024 issue of CRN and online at www.CRN.com/PPG.
