Technical experts will be on hand to provide in-depth product knowledge and share know-how with channel partners and their customers. 

“Moving forward, the Sun team at Aptec is completely geared-up to take our partnership to the next level by providing training, pre-sales support, promotions, and by maintaining local stock of Sun’s AMD and Intel based servers, workstations, SunRay Desktop solutions and entry level storage products,” said Ilyas Mohammed, Sun business unit manager at Aptec.

“We are working on lead generation and post-sales support arrangements with Sun to help partners conduct business more efficiently and ensure customer satisfaction. We will also announce our Partner Loyalty Program - an initiative developed by Aptec and aimed at rewarding and assisting partners who focus on leveraging Sun solutions.”

Bruno Haubertin, partner and alliances sales organisation manager at Sun Microsystems said: “Aptec brings in vast expertise in developing and growing volume businesses, and Sun capitalises on this aspect to boost its volume business in the region. We are however working together on channel development and related activities. The introduction of Aptec’s Partner Loyalty Program will drive partner selection and encourage partners to develop technical capabilities, be pro-active and work closely to develop Sun’s volume business in the region.”
