Arrow Recognition Points are awarded to partners when they find, share and recommend content. Points canthen be redeemed against benefits within the Arrow Inpartnership scheme.


“For technologies like ours that are driven by strong partnerships with vendors like VMware, Solution Station provides a fast and effective means for us to expand into new markets,” says Mike Dunbar, vice president of worldwide sales, VDI, Pivot3. “Now, we can provide channel partners with selling tips, useful links and referrals all in one place, making it easier for them to work closely with Pivot3 and realise the value of incorporating ourtechnologies into their customers’ solutions.”

It helps raise awareness of their technologies, helps them to increase their channel base and guarantees that their news, promotions, programmes, training and events are widely promoted.
