Can you outpace the competition?

SPONSORED POST How do you fancy a trip to Bahrain next March to watch the F1 Grand Prix? The chance to win this experience of a lifetime is being offered by Lenovo to those of its partners that sell the most Lenovo 360 solutions.

You can be part of the competition if you're a leading seller of its outcome-based solutions, if you can sell across the whole Lenovo portfolio, or if you become a Lenovo Microsoft CSP Partner. There's a list of other exciting prizes on offer as well. So, can you outpace the competition and go above and beyond with your sales efforts?

A more pertinent question might be what's in it for you as a Lenovo partner. Lenovo 360 is billed as a new kind of global channel partner framework designed to offer easy access to the company's entire portfolio, spanning devices and infrastructure, as well as services and solutions. It lets partners tap into the trend for Everything-as-a-Service IT consumption and move themselves into a world of service-led and solutions-based sales opportunities.

That's probably right on the money when it comes to meeting the day-to-day needs of end user customers. You could be selling outcome-based solutions, designed for businesses whose focus isn't technology but who just want to get the best results for their organization. These ready-to‑go solutions are based around real business scenarios. For example, there are solutions focused on the enablement of remote workers, perfect for organizations adjusting to a world of hybrid working patterns.

Every vertical has individual challenges, processes and goals, and Lenovo also has industry-specific solutions to match. Its immersive design and engineering skills mean that every stage of their development can be more efficient and more tailored using technologies like augmented (AR) and virtual reality (VR).

There are Lenovo solutions for mobile workers too. These days almost 40 percent of the global workforce is on the move and organizations expect their employees to be able to work from anywhere, anytime, and in any way that they need to. And for channel partners the Lenovo Device as a Service (DaaS) platform simplifies IT management, delivering flexibility and productivity for a single, predictable monthly payment.

Partners can also benefit from the Lenovo Microsoft Cloud Marketplace, an online platform that enables organizations to purchase a wide range of software subscriptions and services, along with customer support and professional services. This could be an opportunity to turn your business into a cloud business by becoming a Lenovo Microsoft cloud service provider (CSP).
