It certainly hasn’t been easy doing business over the last 18 months, what with the pace of digital transformation along with the global events that have taken place. Uncertainty throughout the world has fueled the rate at which companies are adopting digital-first strategies; this, in turn, has made it difficult for solution providers to keep pace.
To support its partners, Dell Technologies has revamped a key partner program, formerly known as “Partner Preferred”, now referred to as “Power up”.
The goal in doing this is to help accelerate momentum and continue to empower the company’s partners, thereby driving a positive impact in the community — not only through technology, but through everything else Dell does.
