SunGard Availability Services launches new partner program

SunGard Availability Services has unveiled a Business Partner Program designed to help companies generate new revenue sources by offering customers comprehensive availability solutions. Business Partners can expand beyond traditional hardware and software offerings by adding SunGard services to existing portfolios to create an information availability solution practice for their customers.

"Working with partners is a strategic initiative for SunGard and presents an opportunity for us to strengthen our industry presence and expand our coverage," said Eric Berg, chief executive officer at SunGard Availability Services. "We are making investments to develop a program that will support and help enable partners to deliver information availability solutions to their customers."

SunGard Business Partners can leverage the company's extensive portfolio that includes business continuity, disaster recovery, managed IT services, availability consulting, and business continuity management software. SunGard Business Partners can use these offerings to help customers achieve higher levels of performance and availability at a lower cost.

The Business Partner Program has two partner tracks: Solution Providers and Referral Partners. The Solution Provider Program allows partners to resell and integrate SunGard solutions into their existing portfolios. The Referral Partner Program rewards partners that recommend SunGard services to customers.
Designed to support varying business models and commitment levels, the program offers three participation tiers for both Solution Providers and Referral Partners. As a member of the SunGard Availability Services' Business Partner Program, partners receive the sales, marketing and technical resources necessary to help them be successful in addressing their customers' information availability needs.
