The Globalscape Partner Program
The growth of the Globalscape Partner Program (GPP) is governed by the ability to support partners effectively. From the onset, a pillar of the GPP has been the commitment to continually improve upon partner enablement. Partner enablement is broken out into three tracks ranging from initial product and technical training, up to a week-long certification offering. This training, coupled with field sales, technical and channel support throughout the sales cycle gives partners a high level of confidence and real-world experience that exponentially increases their ability to drive revenue. Additionally, Globalscape delivers marketing resources to drive new-logo acquisition campaigns ensuring that Partners succeed in their specific markets.
The partner enablement program is extensive, going beyond a formal relationship. All partners participating in the program and are willing to commit to business planning are provided with:
|

Dedicated pre- and post-sales support
