T1 Cloud Backup, Restore & Recovery
BURR Partner Programs
Introduction
Welcome to T1’s Partner Program! Based on your sales and support resources, the goal of the Partner Program is to offer two choices: Sell With or Sell Direct. The information contained in this document is meant to provide an overview of each program delineating T1’s and partner responsibilities.
The T1CO Cloud BURR is an efficient, cost-effective, and transformational backup solution aligned with the Cloud Computing era that makes it easy for organizations of all sizes to optimize, economize, and modernize their backup processes.
By simplifying and streamlining the backup/recovery process, T1CO Cloud BURR saves time, money and other IT resources spent on mundane backup jobs. It also protects organizations from the potential business risks associated with failed backups and recoveries.
Partner Program Overview
Why sell backup/recovery services to your customers?
First and foremost, T1CO Cloud BURR will help you make more money. This service presents an opportunity to generate a new, recurring revenue stream. Remember T1CO Cloud BURR is billed as a utility…each month the customer pays for the total amount of data they back up. Essentially, you sell once and get paid every month.
T1CO Cloud BURR also provides an opportunity for you to add value to your customers. It establishes you as a trusted advisor who can help diagnose and solve customers’ problems – problems they may not even realize they have!
Finally, introducing T1CO Cloud BURR gives you a valid reason for more in-depth discussions with current customers, re-establishing contacts at dormant accounts, and connecting with potential new customers.
