Sophos wins Best Partner Website and Technology Innovation awards

CRNSMA16We’re delighted to announce that independent experts CRN have recognized the Sophos Partner Portal by awarding it Best Partner Website 2016!

The Sophos Partner Portal is a one-stop-shop that gives our valued channel partners everything they need to support their customers. As part of our channel-first strategy we’re constantly enhancing the portal to make it as useful as possible for our partners, and we think this award is testament to the excellence of the Portal.

Our Partner Portal is packed with useful tools to help our partners provide the best possible IT security support and resources to their customers. It’s where partners can manage their Sophos business, attend training and find great sales and marketing tools. If you’re a Sophos partner we highly recommend you browse our portal to see the benefits for your business, or request access if you haven’t done so before.

But that’s not all: we actually swiped two awards! Sophos Cloud (now Sophos Central), our unified security management platform, took home the Technology Innovation Award 2016 at the same awards ceremony in London last week.

With Sophos Central, customers and partners can manage all their products from a single interface. And it nicely ties in with the Partner Portal – the Partner Dashboard is easily accessible from the portal and lets partners manage all their customer installations from a single, intuitive interface.

You can find the list of all winners on the CRN website. We’re listed in the vendor categories.

CRN considers winning a CRN Sales & Marketing Award a sign of a prospering and forward-thinking company, and one who will almost certainly still be in the channel in 10 years’ time thanks to their investment in the talent of their sales and marketing teams.
