– An end customer who needs support contacts Extreme directly
– ExtremeWorks discount offer
For whom?
Mainly small Partners who do not have enough resources or prefer to direct and engage their IT employees in the implementation of more strategic projects, instead of carrying out mainly day-to-day customer network maintenance tasks.
DistriWorks support model
support provided using Versim competencies
– Partners offer their own services through and in cooperation with Versim
– lower Partner’s expenditure on training and infrastructure, because he uses the resources of the Distributor, i.e. the resources of Versim
– support services are provided to the Partner by Versim in cooperation with Extreme Networks – the end customer who needs support contacts the Partner, and the Partner contacts the Distributor, i.e. our company
– DistriWorks discount offer
DistriWorks Service Support is intended solely for Partners who have not previously joined the PartnerWorks program.
The DistriWorks model, i.e. service support provided by our company, is intended to help our Partners who do not see a justification for purchasing the service directly from the Manufacturer and want to minimize the cost of purchasing the support. In this model, the Partner gains our knowledge, experience and stock, as well as everything that it offers as part of Extreme service support as a Manufacturer.
For whom?
Mainly Partners who do not have enough resources or prefer to direct and engage their IT staff in the implementation of more strategic projects.
