Programme Structure
The new Trend Micro Partner Programme is tiered to recognise that not all partners can commit, financially or technically at the same level, or can deliver business equally. Each tier in the programme has been set with relevant requirements and benefits that match your interest, objectives and needs.
Bronze Partners:
To start working with Trend Micro, complete our registration form and you will become a Bronze Partner. There is no minimal revenue or certification requirement but we will keep you informed about our product announcements, promotions and offers. We will also provide you with free support and free demo/ Not For Resale (NFR) software for most of our product portfolio.
Silver Partners:
Once you have started generating some Trend Micro business and upon meeting the minimum revenue and training/ certification objectives, you will be eligible to become a Silver Partner. You will be able to participate in our deal registration programme, benefit from upfront discounts and access more sales and marketing programmes. Being a Silver Partner will open new doors for you, your team and your business.
