Seagate announces three new partner programs in India

NEW DELHI -- Seagate Technology, the world's leading provider of hard disk drives and a major supplier of storage products to the Indian market, has announced three new partner programs in India.

The first program is the setting up of the Seagate SCSI partners who will specialize in promoting Seagate ESG products to reseller channel and large corporates. The structure would be similar to the Seagate Import Partners. The Seagate Enterprise Partners program is targeted at organizations specializing in designing and implementing storage networks and solutions for corporates in the private and government sectors. Seagate Enterprise Partners will develop customized solutions for clients based on Seagate's technology and products.

To promote a solutions approach for SMEs and SOHO/home segments, Seagate will appoint Seagate Integrator Partners for system builder and integrator community to integrate Seagate products in their PC/server and sell HDD as part of the solution.

Seagate will also support its extended distributor network through technical training -- enabling them to qualify their engineers for the Seagate Certified Engineer Program. Seagate will support these partners through Seagate consultants who will provide marketing and business support.

Announcing these partners programs, Sharad Srivastava, country manager, Seagate India, said: " We felt the need for introducing new partner programs to understand end customers needs better and providing the right kind of tools to partners to service their customers better. The new partners will support our existing distributors and channel partners network."

Seagate also launched the Seagate warranty support "Swap Center" to better meet the needs of its large and growing customer base in India. The center will offer warranty exchange to existing services provided by Seagate distributors in India. The company recently launched the Seagate Rewards Program as well for its Import Partners and Storage Partners in India.
