This includes Consulting and Implementation , Service Provider , Build and Resale .
Volini describes the new partner programme as a single programme where partners identify themselves based on what they want to achieve as a business .
“ The way our programme is now structured , it is one programme with these four modules . Any partner , they could be regional , local to a geography , they could be global , they could be small , they can be big , it does not matter to us ,” she explains . “ We will pick and choose which modules they want to be a part of , depending on what their business strategy is .”
