company we are continually striving to build upon our Symantec Partner
Program to ensure that we bring increased revenue opportunities to our
partners

The first round of new training modules and assessments is part
of an ongoing schedule of new training modules and assessments that will be
available to partners on a quarterly basis via PartnerNet. The new training
program offers a more streamlined process for partners to achieve sales
accreditation on Symantec's security and availability products. Upon
successful completion of each assessment, partners will earn status as a SSE,
validating their extensive knowledge on that specific product offering.
"The new sales training modules are designed to impart
product knowledge and best practices to help our partners succeed," said
Ajay Verma, Director-Channels and Alliances, Symantec India. "This new
training and accreditation program leverages feedback from our part-ners to
create a globally consistent framework for validating and rewarding their
investment in our business. As a channel centric company, we are continually
striving to build upon our Symantec Partner Program to ensure that we bring
increased revenue opportunities to our partners."
"The cost-effective sales training program provides
partners with accelerated training development and validation on point products.
The training modules take into account learning style preferences in a flexible
manner to support our partners' regional requirements and market segmentation
efforts. The training modules and assessments, which take approximately one hour
to complete, will allow partners to build toward future equity and benefits in
the Symantec Partner Program" added Verma.
Partners confident in their knowledge and sales experience on a
particular Symantec product can complete the online assessment without
completing the training course to accelerate their time to accreditation as a
SSE.
