AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Increasing demand for its products worldwide and an upgraded channel partner program have led LifeSize, a division of Logitech (Nasdaq:LOGI) (SIX:LOGN), to significantly boost its number of global resellers over the past two quarters, from April 1 to Sept. 30, 2010. Since implementing its enhanced Channel Partner program on April 1, 2010, LifeSize has signed up more than 370 new partners worldwide, an increase of 32 percent. LifeSize now has more than 1,500 channel partners in 80 countries reselling its line of high definition (HD) video conferencing products.
In addition, with a new product certification program as part of its expanded channel partner offerings, LifeSize has certified more than 1,300 partner sales and technical associates worldwide. More than half of these certifications are at the Expert level of the program, which requires the most in-depth training on LifeSize products.
“HD video conferencing technologies are in high demand, and the LifeSize portfolio offers high-quality products that appeal to all types of businesses, whether they need a full conference room deployment with infrastructure and management support or a desktop solution,” said Joe Quaglia, senior vice president, U.S. Marketing with Tech Data Corporation. “The new LifeSize partner program gives distributors like us the tools and training needed to deliver outstanding customer service and support to help VARs grow their businesses.”
Tech Data recently awarded LifeSize the “Growth Vendor Partner of the Year” award for doubling the number of resellers purchasing its video conferencing equipment through the distributor and more than doubling its SMB, public sector and healthcare sales.
“The LifeSize Channel Partner Program is designed to reward and support all classes of partners through value, innovation and commitment, and we are seeing increased interest and opportunities at all levels,” said Dan Sibille, director of Americas channels, LifeSize. “Working together with our partners, we are delivering the highest quality HD video experiences to customers at an unmatched level of price for performance.”
