Tech giant Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), has unveiled dedicated relief initiatives for partners in support of business continuity during the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the company, the dedicated relief initiatives for partners in support of business continuity have been initiated in the wake of COVID-19.
The vendor noted that businesses across the world are being impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and HPE has taken action to help minimise current and future business disruption for its channel partners.
The new interim initiatives have been specifically designed to relieve financial pressure on HPE partners and assist with business continuity planning. They join a number of new financial relief programmes offered by HPE Financial Services as part of a $2bn allocation to help customers and partners.
HPE is taking action to help minimise current and future business disruption for channel partners through various schemes and financial programmes.
“Our partners are at the core of HPE, so when they are facing potential challenges, it’s our duty to step up and be a pillar of support,” said Paul Hunter, HPE worldwide head of Partner Sales. “Whether it’s helping them drive business as usual, relieve financial pressure, or simply giving them peace of mind during this time, our aim is to have a thriving ecosystem better able to meet customer needs.”
Hunter explained that the HPE Partner Ready Revenue Threshold Suspension will provide stability for partners facing financial uncertainty.
He said HPE has suspended the revenue targets required for partners to maintain their status in the HPE Hybrid IT Partner Ready programme for 2021 eligibility, as well as the Aruba Partner Ready for Networking Programme. “During 2020, both of these programmes will focus on enabling partners and helping them meet training and certification goals,” he added.
