SAN JOSE, Calif.—March 29, 2021—Panzura has achieved a 5-Star rating by CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, in its 2021 Partner Program Guide. The annual guide provides a conclusive list of the most distinguished partner programs from leading technology companies that offer products and services through the IT channel. The 2021 Partner Program Guide will be featured in the April 2021 issue of CRN and online.

Each year, The Channel Company researches and analyzes vendor partner programs, scoring them on multiple factors including investments in program offerings, partner profitability, partner training, education and support, marketing programs and resources, sales support, and communication. The most recent assessment identifies Panzura as among the elite vendors in the IT channel for the value and support received by solution providers.

“As global companies turn to an increasingly dispersed workforce, demand for instantaneous collaboration, data access and storage has never been greater. The productivity and efficiency Panzura fuels across the modern enterprise is helping our customers elevate their game and push the boundaries of competitive advantage,” said Jill Stelfox, CEO at Panzura. “Our channel partners are the backbone of our work to support our customers in this journey, and we see CRN’s 5-Star rating as yet another bold validation of that effort.”
