Data erasure leader aims to increase investment in partner resources by 200%, aiming to increase channel-led deals to 70% for enterprises

AUSTIN and LONDON – June 14, 2023—Blancco Technology Group (LON: BLTG), the industry standard in data erasure and mobile lifecycle solutions, today announced a significant update to its global partner  program – a critical route to meeting aggressive growth goals. The newly refreshed program underpins Blancco’s ongoing commitment to the channel and highlights the importance of partnerships to its overall growth strategy.

As the market continues to deal with security, compliance and sustainability issues related to the growth in data in their environment, Blancco sees an opportunity to take its leadership position within the asset lifecycle market to deliver tangible security and compliance value within the data lifecycle. The new channel partner program is strategically designed to deliver on this transformation.

“There’s a huge opportunity to educate and engage enterprises on the risks of poor data management practices and how to mitigate them,” said Jon Mellon, President, Global Sales, Marketing & Field Operations at Blancco. “We can only do this by leveraging our partners’ strengths and expertise, which is why we have a laser sharp focus on improving our existing relationships and targeting new relationships with partners that manage and influence the enterprise data lifecycle.”

Blancco is committed to a channel-first strategy and aims to generate more than 70% of its enterprise deals through partners as it expands within the data lifecycle market with a goal of doubling enterprise revenues by 2025. To meet this objective, Blancco is committed to a 200% increase in its channel investment in the areas of team resourcing, product development and marketing.

“Our evolving partner ecosystem is based on Blancco’s vision for the invaluable role that partners play in our growth. This is why we’re strengthening our channel program and focusing on providing a simplified experience that will help our partners win more business and ultimately drive growth,” said Christina Walker, Global Director – Channel at Blancco. “With significantly more investment into our distribution, enablement, platform, and marketing efforts, we will be able to elevate and expand our partner resources and offer even more robust incentives. Our ultimate goal is to ensure our partners have the resources they need to be successful.”

Blancco’s transformed partner program is designed to accelerate investment in partners who are aligned with the company’s vision. It offers enhanced partner incentives for deal acquisition, adoption, expansion and retention. Some of the new partner benefits include:

The program features a new single-tier structure that focuses on four sales motions – sell, service, build, distribute – to provide a quicker onramp for companies across the channel partner ecosystem, including MSPs, solutions providers, global system integrators, distributors, resellers and OEMs.

“Blancco’s new global partner program takes into account the increasingly important and differentiated role enablement plays in the success of today’s channel partners,” said Donald Scott, Director, Emerging Business Group at Ingram Micro. “As Blancco’s longtime distributor in North America, we continue to build on our mutual success, expanding Blancco’s partner ecosystem and working together to better equip the channel with industry leading secure data sanitization and Erasure-as-a-Service, both of which provide enhanced security for the entire data lifecycle.”

“Safeguarding data at every endpoint is critical for enterprises. Our latest Lenovo Global CIO Study found that data security continues to be the number one challenge for seven in ten CIOs. Lenovo has been working tirelessly with Blancco and ecosystem partners to bring industry-standard data sanitization software to PCs, servers, and other intelligent devices,” said Abdul Hakim, Executive Director, Solutions and Services Group at Lenovo. “Through this important partnership, Lenovo will bring better end-to-end IT solutions to more customers.”
