November 23, 2011 - HMS Industrial Networks announces a partner program. The program targets system integrators, machine builders and other companies wishing to include Anybus gateways and Netbiter remote management solutions in their offering. Partners joining the program will be able to leverage on some of the most capable network connectivity products on the market and benefit from lead sharing, project management and joint marketing with HMS and HMS distributors, as well as free technical support and training via the HMS Academy. “System integrators and machine builders have been key to our success within gateways and remote management.
To support the steadily growing demand for Anybus and Netbiter solutions, and to further strengthen the relationship with our partners, we are now launching a formal partner program,” says Anders Hansson, Marketing Director at HMS. “Besides being able to make money on HMS products within their solutions, partners joining the program will also gain a strong competitive edge by adding HMS's powerful industrial networking and remote management solutions to their offering.” Two levels of partnership, GOLD and SILVER, are designed to recognize and reward partner efforts. All signed partners get the right to offer and promote HMS gateways and remote management products with full assistance from HMS, but GOLD partners get more extensive product training and better discounts.
