Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), an innovator at the front line of business with solutions and partners that deliver a performance edge, is being celebrated by CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, with a prestigious 5-star rating in its 2022 Partner Program Guide.
CRN’s annual Partner Program Guide provides a definitive list of the most notable partner programs from industry-leading technology vendors that provide innovative products and flexible services through the IT channel. The 5-star rating is achieved only by select vendors that deliver the best of the best, going above and beyond in their partner programs to help push growth and positive change.
The Partner Program Guide provides the channel community with a deep dive into the partner programs offered by IT vendors, service providers and distributors. Companies are scored based on their investments in program offerings, partner profitability, partner training, education and support, marketing programs and resources, sales support, and communication. A 5-star rating helps narrow the field to find the best fit, identifying the most rewarding partner programs and providing crucial insight into their strengths.
Zebra’s PartnerConnect Program is a flexible program that is focused on partners’ business model whether they are reselling, distributing, influencing, integrating or developing software solutions that link teams, assets and systems in real time to deliver best next-action guidance for business-critical decisions.
“Zebra is proud to once again receive CRN’s 5-star rating for its award-winning PartnerConnect program which continues to play a strategically vital role in our route to market strategy,” said Bill Cate, Vice President of Marketing and Channels, Zebra Technologies. “With new programs like our recently announced Machine Vision, SMB and Mobile Robotics specialization programs, we will continue to innovate and make it easier for our global partner network to work with us and differentiate themselves.”
“CRN’s Partner Program Guide delves into the strengths of each organization’s partner program in order to honor those that consistently support and promote good change within the IT channel,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. “As innovation fuels the speed and complexity of technology today, solution providers want partners that can keep up with and assist their growing business.”
