VNCprm
VNCprm is the partner relationship management product — the entire partner programme in one portal. It serves two audiences with one system: the organization’s partner team, which manages partners, deals, funds and enablement, and the partners themselves, who get a self-service portal with their own login.
A partner does not email a spreadsheet to the channel manager any more. They register a deal in the portal, it is protected and tracked, the marketing funds they request are visible, and the training they complete feeds their tier. The partner team sees the same objects from the other side.
What it delivers
Section titled “What it delivers”- Deal registration with protection. A partner registers an opportunity, the registration is approved, and the deal is protected against channel conflict.
- Lead distribution. Leads can be routed to the right partner instead of being forwarded by hand.
- Marketing funds under control. Market-development funds are requested, approved and tracked against the campaigns they finance.
- Enablement that counts. Training and certification are part of the programme, and progress feeds the partner’s tier.
- A tiered programme. Registered, Silver, Gold and Platinum tiers unlock different content, discounts and tools.
- Partner Business Acceleration. The programme that moves a partner from registered to productive, with the portal as its home.
