PartnerOverview
Backup Direct™ has two partnering schemes, which today support over 100 active and successful partners in the UK:
Alliance Partner Program
Authorised Reseller Program
Both programs provide partners with direct access to a suite of world-class technologies positioned to take advantage of the trend towards Managed IT Services, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Cloud Computing.
Easy to sell; easy to supportOur focus is on services that are easy to sell and easy to support. This means world-class technologies under-pinned by solid financial and technical support. Our leading server backup technology, for example, is used by world-renowned enterprise companies like Microsoft for its Cloud Storage service and our core PC backup service has over three million licensed users including companies such as Google, Amazon, PwC and Hewlett Packard.
These enterprise-class companies chose to use the same technologies we provide because of the lower cost of ownership and better user experience they provide. Backup Direct gives you access to the very same technology and delivers it through a Managed Service model, fully suited to you and your customers.Increased profits; more satisfied customers
The investment behind our services is heavy, which means they are of the highest market quality. It makes them more efficient requiring less time to install and creating less support issues. The result is more value to our partner's bottom line.Fewer issues and faster resolution mean you gain more confidence from your end customers. This results in longer-term relationships and the opportunity to sell and provide more services.
Focus on the added-valueLooking after backup, security and support is not the most effective way of spending your time. Unplanned and urgent calls from customers to restore files or fix minor issues are inefficient to deal with and difficult to plan for. Often, they are also hard to bill for.
By letting Backup Direct take care of routine, yet critical services – you are free to spend your time on more value-adding and profitable services for your clients. Services such as business application design, specification and deployment or network planning and supply.
