HP today extended its Always On Support with a new partnering model that expands sales and service delivery opportunities for partners to drive business growth and increase profitability.
To address customer requirements, partners need access to a broad spectrum of technology services ranging from desktop deployment to hybrid cloud, from basic maintenance to strategic consulting.
HP ServiceONE is a new specialization within the industry-leading HP PartnerONE program that enables partners to significantly expand their technology services portfolio or offer co-branded services with HP. In addition, partners can take advantage of HP’s redesigned metrics and rewards to further increase revenue opportunities and reduce risk.
“Partners want to boost their bottom line by delivering innovative services that address every customer need, whether it’s data center design or everyday support,” said Bishwanath Bhattacharya, Director, Technology Services, HP India. “With ServiceONE, HP is expanding partners’ business opportunities by enabling them to deliver high-value services while capitalising on HP sales, technical and marketing resources.”
The HP ServiceONE program enables partners to:
— Address customers’ dynamic needs and extend their market reach by selling and delivering a wide range of technology services, including professional, annuity-based services as well as HP Care Pack Services.
— Improve margins and reduce risk with HP’s automated support technologies, such as HP Insight Remote Support.
— Increase sales by working closely with HP on joint sales opportunities, including closing sales, marketing services and solving technical challenges. HP aims to serve as an extension of the partner’s team, providing technology expertise and capacity as needed.
— Boost profitability by selling and delivering higher-margin HP-branded services.
— Enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty by attaching support services to infrastructure solutions and delivering a consistent, reliable customer experience.
New, simplified partner designations
HP has also streamlined the services program to simplify contracts and reward metrics for partners. Now offering two categories -- ServiceONE Specialist and ServiceONE Expert, the premier partnering level -- partners are able to grow their services business through exclusive rebates, discounts and management tools.
HP services help businesses and governments in their pursuit of an Instant-On Enterprise. In a world of continuous connectivity, the Instant-On Enterprise embeds technology in everything it does to serve customers, employees, partners and citizens with whatever they need, instantly.
The HP ServiceONE program is expected to commence worldwide in November. More information for partners is available at www.hp.com/partners/apj/ServiceONE.
HP’s premier client event, HP DISCOVER, takes place Nov. 29 - Dec. 1 in Vienna, Austria. The event showcases how organizations can get started on their Instant-On Enterprise journeys.
