Quick Heal Technologies Launches SME Channel Program in North America

IT security solutions provider Quick Heal Technologies announced the launch of its North American Quick Heal Authorized Solution Provider Program this week as the company looks to bring its small-to-midsize enterprise-centric solutions to the United States and Canada.

The Maharashtra, India-based company said it expects is flagship Seqrite data security solutions to provide small businesses with a complete endpoint security solution that will give customers the resources to protect their enterprise investments.

Partners will be able to earn up to 50 percent profit margins on their sales and will have immediate access to rebates, incentives, SPIFs and deal registration/protection through the program, according to Quick Heal. The company will divide partners among Gold And Silver tiers, with a channel loyalty program expected to launch before the end of this quarter.

The channel program will be led by Farokh Karani, who formerly held executive-level positions at Kaspersky Lab USA and Cyberoam, according to the announcement.

“Having already built a successful channel partner community that is more than 15,000 members strong across Asia Pacific and EMEA, we are eager to develop quality partnerships in North America, and motivated to work in tandem with our partners to help them prosper as we do,” said Karani, in a statement. “With up to 50 percent margins at stake, our goal is to demonstrate that we mean business, and we intend to deliver on our promise of partner profitability right from the start.”

The launch of the new partner program follows Quick Heal’s entrance into the North American IT security market last month, when the company announced it would sell its Seqrite product line in the United States and Canada exclusively through the channel.

Quick Heal is the latest of several companies to unveil a new channel program this month, including fellow security solution provider Ixia’s (XXIA) Channel Xcelerate Partner Program in addition to ArcServe’s new partner program. Both Unidesk and Connected Data also showed off their latest partner efforts in the past two weeks.
