Solutions Advantage Program

Lexmark opens up sales opportunities for partners with the Solutions Advantage Program

Maidenhead, United Kingdom, 16 September, 2014 

• Lexmark has, today, launched the Solutions Advantage Program, providing a clear and defined path to enable its partners to find new sales opportunities.
• With the Solutions Advantage Program, Lexmark's partners are empowered to become their customers' preferred vendor for solutions that go beyond printing.
• The Solutions Advantage Program helps partners achieve their business objectives whilst enjoying exclusive advantages. These include the free provision of full-licensed software to equip demo output devices, as well as comprehensive training on Lexmark’s solutions line.
• The programme - being rolled out in many EMEA countries - is divided into three tiers: Entry, Advanced and Premier. These will run in conjunction with the Lexmark Channel Value Programme.
• The Entry level is a comprehensive offering of support. It provides partners who traditionally focus on hardware, services and supplies, with training webinars and access to the Lexmark Virtual Solutions Centre.
• The Advanced tier builds on this to include face-to-face technical training, access to more advanced solutions (such as Lexmark Print Management Premise), special bid pricing for qualified opportunities, and the ability to equip demo output devices with free software solutions.
• The top level of the programme addresses independent software vendors (ISVs). As well as all the previous advantages, the Premier tier provides ISVs with a software development platform to expand their portfolio of solutions and create whole new business opportunities.
