“Nowadays, the structure of vendor channel programs is too often reduced to a checklist of must-have elements,” “The VARBusiness Five-Star Partner Program honor recognizes those select vendors, like Level Platforms, who have the programmatic structure to best serve their solution providers in their specific markets segments and technologies. These programs reflect vendors who have built channel programs that have the capacity to execute on key elements for channel success.” said Lawrence M. Walsh, editor, VARBusiness.

“Level Platforms remains exclusively committed to the education, development and success of our partners as they adopt and implement a Managed Services strategy,” said Dan Wensley, Vice President of Partner Development. “Receiving the 5-Star Partner designation from VARBusiness serves to validate our efforts and renews our commitment to the channel building and delivering the tools, product and resources required for success. I would also like to thank and congratulate the entire Level Platforms team, their day to day service and dedication to our partners is reflected in this accomplishment.”
