Competencies: The Veeam Partner Competency Program elevates partners that have demonstrated proficiency through training and proven go-to-market executions to deliver the best outcomes for their customers. This program offers partners the opportunity to differentiate themselves from the rest of the market with a chosen area of expertise. This brings a new level of visibility for partners and helps generate leads through listings on veeam.com. These competencies are simple and require minimal administration but carry significant weight in the marketplace with Veeam’s verification. Once verified, a partner may display their designated competency logo in accordance with Veeam brand guidelines and market their achievement with provided messaging and social media guides. A partner may also include competency credentials when responding to customer RFP’s and use their competency logo on promotional material. Learn more in the ProPartner portal.
