Partner levels
eBox Partner Program offers three levels of partnership – Bronze, Silver and Gold. Whereas Bronze Partnership is considered as the entry level for resellers and it is aimed at newly founded, small local IT providers, Silver Partnership is the standard level for mature resellers that are considered as well-established local IT providers. On the other hand, Gold Partnership is aimed at Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and Value Added Distributors (VADs) who want to distribute eBox based products and services through their own countrywide reseller network.
- Bronze Partnership: Entry level for resellers, aimed at newly founded local IT providers
- Silver Partnership: Entry level for mature resellers, aimed at well-established local IT providers
- Gold Partnership: Aimed at Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and Value Added Distributors (VADs)
Partner benefits
All eBox Partners are granted access to the eBox Partner Portal: a knowledge base with materials, procedures, guidelines, best practices and hardware specifications that help to sell, analyze customers’ environments, deploy, support and maintain and manage the internal organization to provide first-class eBox based products and services.
Whereas Bronze Partners receive a Basic Sales Kit with sales materials, access to sales seminars and listing in the eBox Partner Directory, Silver and Gold Partners are entitled to a full Sales Kit that additionally includes press support, customized sales materials and local sales leads.
In regard to rebranding, Silver Partners are entitled to include their logo in the Virtual CIO and Virtual MSP reports they can periodically send to their customers and Gold Partners can additionally include their logo in the user interface of the deployed eBox servers.
Furthermore, Gold Partners are entitled to a number of additional benefits: they can turn members of their reseller network into Bronze Partners as well as invite existing Bronze Partners operating in their area to join their reseller network. Gold Partners are also considered preferential partners within their area and/or segment, meaning that eBox Technologies will not sign up with another similar Gold Partner without their previous consent.
Gold Partners also have the opportunity to have their own dedicated eBox Control Center hosted in their cloud, for a yearly fee. These eBox Control Centers will be deployed and maintained directly by eBox Technologies and will receive periodical software and security updates.
Discounts
All eBox Partners are granted generous discounts on the official list prices. The level of discounts naturally depends on the level of the partnership. For details, you must submit the Partnership Request.
