Azlan partner training recognised by leading independent expert Brandon Hall
The quality of training provided by the value-added distributor to HP partners has been acknowledged by one of the top authorities in talent development
Barcelona, 11 May, 2015 – Azlan, Tech Data Europe’s specialist brand for value-added distribution of enterprise networking, server, storage and software solutions, has been named as a high-quality delivery partner for training by renowned industry organization Brandon Hall. Azlan won a coveted Brandon Hall Group Silver award for excellence in the Best Sales Training Program for Extended Enterprise category and a Bronze award in the category of Best Advance in Learning Management Technology for External Training.
These awards were made in recognition of Azlan’s TD Academy online training platform for HP partners, which provides interactive e-learning modules, sales enablement tools and bite-sized training modules to help resellers accelerate their HP business and improve sales capability. The training modules emphasise how partners can understand customers’ needs and sell effectively, rather than focusing on products. Every reseller is provided with a tailored training plan and delegates achieve recognised sales qualifications on completion.
Commenting on the award, Stephen Cant, director of Azlan’s HP Enterprise Group, said, “Azlan is pleased to have received this independent recognition of our training program for HP partners. It is a testament of the investment, effort and commitment that we have made to providing our HP reseller customers with the knowledge, support and resources they need to develop and grow their business.”
The TD Academy resources form part of Azlan’s HP tools. As well as education and training, this comprehensive growth program offers HP partners specialist sales and technical assistance from Azlan’s own experts, lead-generation support and pro-active account management. Azlan aligns individual targets and development plans with every partner that engages on the program.
Brandon Hall Group provides insights around key performance areas, including learning and development, talent management, leadership development, talent acquisition and workforce management. (Click here for more information).
