accreditations that empower both individuals and partner organizations

financial structures that offer increasing benefits as partners grow
within the Lenovo 360 framework.
Communities: Forums,
advisory boards, and events that foster collaboration and sharing of
best practices among partners and Lenovo experts.
Marketing:
Ready-to-use collateral and assets to help partners promote their
products, solutions, and services to their customers.
Each journey will also include channel-ready devices, infrastructure solutions, and service elements.
“As
industries increasingly turn to AI-driven solutions, flexible data
management, and cloud services, Lenovo 360 provides partners with the
tools and training needed to meet customer demand and stay ahead of
technological advancements in these dynamic segments,” said Pascal
Bourguet, Vice President, and Global Channel Chief, Lenovo. “We are
focusing our efforts initially in these high-growth areas and will
continue to bring additional pathways to new verticals, technologies,
and routes to market over time.”
Lenovo 360 for GSIs, Lenovo 360
for AI, Lenovo 360 for Data Management, and Lenovo 360 for Education

months, with easy-to-follow criteria across programs, simplification of
program qualifications, and reduced complexity between elements.

(presently 35) by February 2025, with more than 50 channel-ready
solutions supported across eight languages of English, French, German,
