VMware has announced Solution Enablement Toolkits (SETs), a suite of tools and assets designed to enable partners to create their own packaged solutions for repeatable and scalable value selling and delivery.
VMware continues its investment in the VMware Partner Network with the new SETs, enhancements to Partner University and by creating additional training and certification options - including the VMware Certified Advanced Professional (VCAP) level – to further strengthen the Solution Competencies program. VMware is helping solution providers successfully migrate their customers to cloud computing environments by providing partners with world-class training and selling tools – and VMware solution providers remain dedicated to earning Solution Competencies to aid them in becoming trusted advisers to their customers.
“As we continue to shift toward an IT-as-a-service model, the mutual growth of VMware and our partners is imperative to guiding our customers on their virtualisation journey to the cloud,” said Doug Smith, Senior Director, Global Partner Strategy and Programs, VMware. “We created SETs to help our partners accelerate the ROI for their competency training, take their solutions to market faster and increase their strategic value with customers. The fast uptake of Solution Competencies and SETs illustrates the value they can drive for our solution provider community, and we will continue to invest in our programs and the continued success of our solution providers.”
In addition to the continued momentum of the VMware Partner Network, VMware also announced the availability of new Solution Enablement Toolkits (SETs). Designed to empower partners to take virtualisation solutions to market faster, each SET contains a specific set of critical tools, templates, rich services intellectual property (IP) and assets that partners use to create their own unique productised and branded solution around VMware technology. SETs are built into robust libraries that are created to align with VMware Solution Competencies: Infrastructure Virtualisation, Desktop Virtualisation and Business Continuity.
The following SETs are available globally to solution providers with the corresponding competencies:
