Meru is committed to ensuring that those providing the best products and services to end-users are recognised, supported and rewarded. 

Meru channel partners can now benefit from the following:

New Programme Levels

• New programme levels – Authorised, Gold and Platinum – will delineate the expertise of each reseller, reinforcing Meru’s commitment to maintaining and rewarding its most customer-focused and technically advanced partners.

Deal Registration Incentives Programme

• Meru’s Deal Registration program recognises and rewards partners for generating and bringing opportunities to Meru.

No-Cost Training Programme

• All qualifying Meru Partner Training – Instructor-led or online – will be available at no charge to Meru’s Authorised (online only), Gold and Platinum partners.  This enables partners to maintain the expertise required to specify, install and support Meru solutions.

Demo Kit Programme

• Under the new programme, Meru’s top tier partners – Gold and Platinum – will receive demonstration equipment at no charge, with Authorised resellers receiving a significant discount. The demonstration kit programme helps partners educate prospects and close sales by demonstrating Meru solutions wherever they might be required.
