The 2023 chapter of the program comes with new innovations to fuel rapid growth and global expansion.
Acronis has focused heavily on improving partner services and programs over the last year. In 2022, more than 3,500 new service providers joined Acronis’ #CyberFit Partner Program – consisting of service providers, resellers, developers and ISVs, OEM, and affiliate partners. This large number of new registrants is a testament to Ruslyakov’s leadership, partner-first approach, and his team’s effectiveness in helping MSPs accelerate their business growth with robust sales, marketing, and technical support day in and day out.
The company feels that success of the program would not have been possible without team members like 16-year Acronis veteran Ruslyakov. The team’s success and growth, especially on the doorstep of Acronis’ 20th anniversary, are undoubtedly due to his dedication and diligence in helping Acronis’ partners, and their customers, redefine and achieve success year after year.
In continuation to this, Acronis shared that Alex Ruslyakov has been recognised as CRN 2023 Channel Chiefs list. “I am humbled to be featured in CRN’s Channel Chief’s List for the second year in a row. When our partners succeed, so do we. Our mission is not only to support our partners but also to become an extended business development unit for them, leveraging our leading position in the market and extensive knowledge we’ve collected over years in selling software solutions and services,” Ruslyakov said.
This year, the revised Partner Program boasts new updates including simplified requirements for partners to join the Program, extending benefits to zero-commit service providers, as well as a number of unique programs and promotions for all types of partners.
Acronis Advanced Packs promotion enables service providers to pilot a wide range of services such as advanced security, management, e-mail security, disaster recovery, and data loss prevention, and reimburse the costs for the initial 6 months of offering. The Competitive Displacement Program helps MSPs to migrate their clients to Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud with a 100% rebate on Acronis usage until the end of the remaining contract with their current vendor.
The new Sales Development Funds (SDF) Program helps support MSPs to achieve their growth goals and objectives. The program offers joint marketing investment from Acronis in conjunction with the partner’s commitment to faster growth. The #TeamUp Program has also seen extraordinary growth this past year with 15 new sports partnerships. Launched in February 2021, the program provides a unique opportunity for MSPs to deliver Acronis Cyber Protection Solutions to world-class sports teams. In 2023, Acronis looks to extend this program with smaller packaged offerings to cover a wider audience of MSPs.
Service providers interested in learning more about the Acronis partner programs are invited to join the 2023 Acronis #CyberFit Partner Kickoff, taking place on Wednesday, February 15 at 10:00 am ET. Attendees will gain valuable insight on new integration updates and learn how to reduce workloads, gain knowledge through Acronis certifications, and receive an inside look at the latest Acronis tech roadmap.
