The cloud and connectivity sales leader celebrates its fourth year on the list recognizing best-in-class cloud partner enablement programs
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., September 14, 2020 –
PlanetOne, the IT channel and telecom industry’s preferred business partner, is pleased to announce that it is featured by CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, in the 2020 Cloud Partner Program Guide. This annual list, published this week by CRN, identifies industry-leading cloud technology vendors with innovative partner programs that empower and accelerate the growth of solution providers’ cloud initiatives.
Over the past year, PlanetOne has successfully navigated the ever-changing marketplace, reporting significant revenue growth and expanding its team through strategic new hires, including the appointment of tech and telecom industry leader, Chris Werpy, as COO in August 2020. The relevance and continued expansion of PlanetOne’s cloud services portfolio, which is now comprised of 300+ providers, as well as ongoing enhancements to its white-glove pre- and post-sales and support services, demonstrate PlanetOne’s commitment to growing its cloud practice, and empowering agents and MSPs across the United States to successfully market, sell and support cloud-first solutions and services. Within a highly-competitive cloud marketplace, PlanetOne has established itself with today’s best-of-the-best cloud providers, uncovered unique solutions, created new sales opportunities, and maximized margin potential through new revenue streams for its partners.
“It’s an honor to again be recognized by CRN as one of the IT channel’s leading cloud and connectivity partners,” said Ted Schuman, Founder and CEO, PlanetOne. “2020 has been challenging year for everyone, yet as we have witnessed over the last six months, the need for cloud-based solutions has never been greater. We applaud our partners for their commitment to working quickly address the evolving needs of their customers as they transitioned to work-from-home environments earlier this year, many of whom are now just beginning the transition back into the office. It’s uncertain what the future holds, but we remain committed to our partners, and look forward continuing to drive mutual success in the coming year.”
The Cloud Partner Program Guide is a practical map for solution providers navigating the ever-changing cloud landscape, helping them to locate technology suppliers with groundbreaking cloud offerings and partner programs. To meet the requirements for inclusion, vendors must have unique partner program benefits that address critical challenges in cloud infrastructure or applications.
“With so many cloud options available today, solution providers may find it tough to find the vendor that best complements their unique business strategy,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. “The Cloud Partner Program Guide identifies the vendor partners with a strong combination of technology, training, support, and financial incentives to help cloud initiatives succeed.”
