Verizon Updates Partner Program

The Verizon Partner Program (VPP) has been updated with an eye towards increased portfolio flexibility and overall agility, as well as to better address the ongoing evolution of the indirect channel.

Program updates updated channel engagement models intended to enhance flexibility; a simplified fee structure for US Agents, based on Total Billed Revenue; expanded US coverage resources; and expansion of the company’s global resale model by adding more partners and available solutions.

“We are deeply committed to helping connect our members with the right resources to address customer needs,” said Bill Hooper, director of the SMB Partner Channel for Verizon Business Markets. “As our program expands, we felt it was time to take it to the next level. Our updated model enables us to work with customers as effectively and efficiently as possible. We view this as a natural evolution to our program, and an obvious step to help our VPP members and customers. This program was designed to respond to the way companies buy technology solutions in today’s marketplace.”

Program updates began on April 2nd, and will continue throughout the year.
