Premier Partner Program

Welcome to Premier Partner Program

The Premier Partner Program is designed to support VARs and Systems Integrators who are designing, building and implementing robust network solutions using the D‑Link@Work products for the SMB customer (50-250 employees).

The Premier Partner Program recognises partners that grow their skills, competencies and sales efforts around an end to end SMB D‑Link solution.

Like all good network designs, the core of the Premier Partner Program starts around a robust knowledge of the networking fundamentals i.e. the XStack switching range. The minimum entry requirement is a technical certification (DCNE) and sales certification (DSPP) on XStack, as well as a commitment to an agreed and achievable business plan on growing each other’s business in the SMB segment.

As your skills and commitment broadens to include other D‑Link@Work products such as Security, Wireless, Storage etc to in order to provide a complete SMB networking solution, so does D‑Link’s commitment back to you the partner. For additional competencies achieved and sold D‑Link will reward our partners with a range of layered financial, sales and marketing benefits that reflect the breadth of the D‑Link solution.

No matter how cost effective the network is for the SMB customer they still need to be designed, built and managed by partners that are profitable.

Unlike other programs D‑Link recognises the skills or certifications that already exist within your business as well as the investment in time and money in achieving these certifications. D‑Link will therefore fast track selected certifications where the partner can satisfactorily demonstrate both technical and product knowledge in building a D‑Link@Work solution. This is just one example of our commitment to the SMB channel.
