Dell Technologies Partner Program: Seizing Opportunities to Win Together
For forty years, Dell Technologies has helped transform the world. Now, on day one of our new fiscal year, we are excited to unveil the 2024 Dell Technologies Partner Program so together, we can continue driving human progress.
Our 2024 Dell Technologies Partner Program has a consistent tiered program structure with even more focus on collaboration, acquisition and investment in critical growth areas to drive shared success.
“In today's dynamic IT landscape, it is more important than ever to have a trusted partner like Dell Technologies who can help navigate the complexities of AI, multicloud, edge and cybersecurity. Dell provides us with the technology, expertise, and support we need to drive profitable growth and success for our clients.” -- Rachel Porco, Director, Strategic Alliances, AHEAD
Grow and Modernize the Core Business
Partners are critical to our success. Over the past four quarters, our partners contributed approximately 50% of our net revenue and more than 60% of all new and reactivated buyers. With this foundation of strong partnerships, we have an opportunity to further grow and modernize the core business in the year to come.
The Partner First Strategy for Storage, announced in August, made over 99% of customers and prospective customers “partner first” for storage and quadrupled the number of accounts eligible for storage Partner of Record (PoR) status. We’re seeing even greater collaboration between Dell sales team members and partners as a result. In the new year, we’ll build on our growth strategy by further incentivizing new business acquisition, setting clear expectations and working hand in hand to deliver for our joint customers.
Our 2024 Dell Technologies Partner Program continues rewarding our partners in key areas:
Dell Technologies offers one of the industry’s broadest portfolios, from client devices to the data center, underpinned by an unwavering commitment to driving positive impact for business, people and the planet. The 2024 Dell Technologies Partner Program is investing in key growth areas aligned with customer priorities by launching three new competencies:
This year GenAI will move from proof of concept to proof of productivity and is forecasted to be a $158.6B opportunity for the channel ecosystem by 2028. GenAI is driven by data generated at the edge and hosted in the cloud. Partners that can demonstrate capability with AI, edge and multicloud solutions are the best positioned to capitalize on this market opportunity. The new Data Science & AI Competency and Edge Solutions Competency will validate partners’ expertise on Dell’s offerings.
The new Sustainability & ESG Competency assists partners in addressing customer needs through sustainability training, enablement, tools, and resources. Additionally, we offer Circular Business Solutions for convenient recycling and retirement of IT technology, with incentives for reselling. We are extending the 7% rebate for our recovery services to include storage, in addition to the existing rebate on Asset Recovery Services for client and server. We’ll also continue our quarterly Global ESG Partner Spotlight program, which recognizes partners who execute co-branded initiatives aligned with Dell Technologies' ESG priorities.
“Dell's solutions, supported by circular design, sustainable materials, and energy efficiency, are enabling us to deliver exceptional value to our customers while reducing their environmental impact. The new Corporate Sustainability and ESG Competency in the Dell Technologies Partner Program ensures we can help our customers make environmentally responsible technology decisions. By partnering with Dell, we are shaping a more sustainable future for all.” -- David Harris, Modern Infrastructure Technology Specialist – Global, Insight
Strengthen Collaboration and Streamline Experience
The 2024 Dell Technologies Partner Program furthers our investment in partner collaboration, through our continued focus on Partner First Strategy for Storage and expanding server PoR eligibility as well as acceleration on a modernized partner experience.
This year, we’re expanding server PoR eligibility for New Business Incentive server accounts when partners sell more than $15K in server revenue to one of these NBI accounts. The expansion of server PoR eligibility strengthens predictability of engagement for the datacenter holistically while rewarding partners for their investments and acquisition.
We are modernizing the online experience by expanding digital connectivity, providing partners with self-serve capabilities to reduce touch from configure to order and empowering them with future-ready tools to help unlock profit potential.
“Dell recognizes the crucial role partners play in their success. Partner First Strategy for Storage doubles down on their commitment to partners, aligning with the market shift to channel-driven sales and paving the way for even greater growth and mutual success.” -- Bob Venero, president and CEO, Future Tech Enterprise
