Announcing the launch of the program, Andrew Thomson, Director, Business Development & Technology, PANDUIT Asia Pacific Japan said "System Integrators are an important element of our partner eco-system. We're rewarding them for the critical role they play in delivering value to our customers. We developed this program after carefully considering what's important to our SI Partners - LEARN MORE, EARN MORE, GROW MORE."

Elaborating on the LEARN MORE component of the Partner Accelerator Program, Mr. Thomson added, "The program is unique as it brings together incentives to our SI partners and training for them. We have already planned to provide certified training programs in Mumbai, Chennai and Bengaluru."

The PANDUIT Accelerator Program will offer three distinct types of incentives to the participating SI partners - Volume based, Solution based and Discretionary sales based incentives, thus rewarding SI partners at each and every stage of their business.

"This is the first time we are launching such a program in India. We recognize the critical role that our System Integrators play in engaging customers with our Panduit solutions & technologies so we plan to introduce these kinds of programs on a regular basis. We're taking our relationship with our key partners to a new level, deepening our engagement with them," Mr. Bruce Moore, National Sales Manager -- Network Connectivity Group, added.

More than 100 SI partners from all over India are expected to enroll in the PANDUIT Partner Accelerator Program. The program is valid from 17 Nov 2008 and will continue to run till 31 March 2009.
