Veeam Software, innovative provider of VMware data protection, disaster recovery and VMware management solutions for virtual datacenter environments, today announced that Veeam University now offers a free, online professional accreditation program for its more than 3,000 channel partners (ProPartners) worldwide. The program includes two paths and accreditation titles: Veeam Technical Sales Professional (VMTSP) and Veeam Sales Professional (VMSP).

“Our channel partners are a key part of Veeam’s current and future success,” said Ricky El-Qasem, Veeam’s Director of Global Education Services. “Veeam University’s accreditation program gives our ProPartners the opportunity to learn about our solutions in greater detail—not only from a technical standpoint, but from a sales viewpoint as well. And, their accreditation will add value to the services they deliver to their clients.”

Veeam’s professional accreditation is attainable by all ProPartners. The learning modules focus on topics ranging from designing solutions, deployment techniques and troubleshooting to Veeam messaging, positioning and frequently asked questions during the sales process. Upon completion of Veeam University’s accreditation program, ProPartners receive VMTSP or VMSP logos and certificates.
