Kaseya’s Unitrends Xtra channel programme offers 75% higher margins for partners
The move represents the company's commitment to the channel
Kaseya has announced its new Unitrends Xtra channel partner programme, which the IT infrastructure management firm says delivers up to 75% higher margins for partners selling Unitrends backup and disaster recovery solutions (BDR) compared with other providers.
Forming part of Kaseya’s ongoing commitment to grow the channel, the initiative also enables partners to earn recurring revenue on all additional customer purchases of products from the Kaseya IT Complete platform for the lifetime of the customer.
“The Xtra program is the latest example of what Kaseya is able to do that no one else in the industry can – give our partners a money making platform with the industry’s highest margins and best benefits,” said Fred Voccola, CEO at Kaseya. “This initiative disrupts the status quo in channel programs.
“Not only will our partners receive up to 75 percent higher paybacks when they sell Unitrends BDR solutions compared to any other competitor in the market – including Veeam and Commvault – but now they’ll also get paid when their customers purchase any product in the Kaseya IT Complete suite in the future.”
He continued: “Based on the expansion of Kaseya customers over the past several years, this equates to an annual recurring revenue stream greater than the initial margin received on the original BDR transaction.“
Kaseya says its goal with the Xtra programme is to ensure the channel’s ongoing success, making it seamless for mid-market enterprises to access the “best-in-breed” IT infrastructure management solutions that they require to run their business.
“Kaseya continues to set the standard that invigorates the channel by rewarding its partners with the highest margins available,” said Matt Auld, vice president of sales and cloud services at Peak Uptime. “The Kaseya IT Complete platform offers the most value for mid-market IT organizations and the new Unitrends Xtra program exposes our customers to the solutions they need in a way that directly impacts our business.
