SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Juniper Networks, a leader in secure, AI-driven networks, today announced enhancements to its global partner program designed to help Juniper partners expand their business, drive value and capitalize on the major growth areas in enterprise IT. Juniper Partner Advantage 2020 will simplify partners’ paths to growing their businesses and provide the support they need to seize the rising opportunity of the AI-driven enterprise.
Enterprises are being transformed by the cloud, both operationally with changing consumption models as well as architecturally, with applications and workloads running in multiple clouds. Artificial intelligence, software-defined networking and other management tools have proliferated throughout the enterprise, designed to help simplify operations within this new architecture. Research firm IDC estimates that the total worldwide cloud spend will more than double from $229 billion in 2019 to nearly $500 billion by 2023. As such, Juniper has developed new tools, specializations and enablement programs for partners to capitalize on this changing landscape. Juniper’s new partner program includes investment in business transformation for recurring software-based revenue models, a new managed services program, modernized sales and technical training and increased rewards for selling AI-driven enterprise solutions.“We are doing everything we can to invest in our partners in 2020. Our plan is to help our partners drive growth through new business and customer expansion, while focusing on simplicity,” said Helda Lopes, head of Global Partner Programs and Marketing at Juniper Networks. “Juniper Partner Advantage 2020 has been designed to provide partners the tools they need to capitalize on major growth trends in the enterprise through predictable revenue streams. The investments we’re making highlight Juniper’s commitment to help partners accelerate innovation, drive value and deliver an excellent customer experience.”Every enhancement to our global partner program has been driven by a desire to drive growth and decrease complexity, making it easier for partners to do business with Juniper. Key highlights of the new program include:For Partner Growth:New Specializations: With Juniper’s recent acquisition of Mist Systems, the new joint Juniper-Mist Specialization enables partners to deliver AI solutions into the enterprise, while the new SaaS and Managed Services specializations are designed to incent and enable partner transformation into recurring revenue models. Partners can choose their specialization based on their competitive differentiation and unique business models.Incentives and Rewards: New incentive programs are designed to help partners who are co-investing with Juniper to grow their enterprise business: incentives focused on driving growth of Mist and Juniper solutions and paying double-digit rebates on growth technologies such as software, cloud and SD-WAN. Additionally, Juniper is making incremental investments in partners who invest in building technical, sales and services expertise in Juniper technologies. As our partners stack up their specializations, they earn stackable rebates.Demand Creation: Juniper is providing programs and campaigns, as well as joint marketing funds, to create demand for new business and to expand existing accounts. Our partners have access to on-demand, customizable and turn-key marketing campaigns focused on differentiated product solutions and targeted vertical segments in the enterprise.Sales Enablement: To help partners upskill in emerging areas like AI, cloud and managed services, Juniper is providing a new sales enablement curriculum to accelerate partner success.To Simplify:Platform Enhancements: A new Partner Relationship Management (PRM) platform will enhance the partner business experience with Juniper.
