Samsung Launches KNOX Partner Program
Resellers and ISVs Can Now Offer Enterprise Customers a Secure Android Platform with Samsung KNOX Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd, a global leader in digital media and digital convergence technologies, announced the launch of the Samsung KNOX Partner Program designed for ISVs and resellers to extend the benefits of KNOX to the enterprise market. Samsung KNOX was introduced in Barcelona earlier this year as an enterprise-ready Secure Android Platform powering new Samsung GALAXY branded devices in the market. KNOX is designed from the ground up to systematically fortify Android by leveraging the hardware to provide the highest level of security. KNOX resolves the two major enterprise mobility concerns for customers–security and manageability – in addition to addressing the ability to seamlessly separate work and play. The Samsung KNOX Partner Program creates vast opportunities for resellers and ISVs to deliver sustained value to their customers. With Samsung KNOX, for the very first time Enterprise IT can deploy Android devices, which are loved by consumers, for enterprise usage, ensuring highest levels of platform security and information protection. This excitement is shared by our Go-To-Market partners and they have signed up overwhelmingly to partner with us to resell KNOX and in turn unlock tremendous value in their Enterprise Mobility offerings. We look forward to a long-term win-win with our partners.

Quick and easy ramp to sales via a Partner Portal with assets, resources and training that allows partners to be up, running and selling to support Samsung devices. Deal registration and quick trial programs for customers to enhance margins and protect market development for the partners registering deals. Broad support for many MDMs allowing resellers to partner and sell either a holistic device solution for the enterprise that today does not have an MDM installed, or support for what is already installed. Enhanced support options allow partners to sign up to take first line or first and second line of support.
The program offers Platinum, Gold and Silver levels and is waiving minimum requirements for the first six months, allowing every partner signed to enjoy the benefits of the Platinum level. After initial recruitment and performance analysis Samsung will enforce minimums and tier benefits. Our first partner training was oversubscribed and our subsequent trainings are being filled rapidly – the next two trainings are scheduled for December 4-5, 2013 and January 14-15, 2014.
