Telefónica Business Solutions, a leading provider of a wide range of integrated communication solutions for the B2B market, is extending its m2m Global Partner Programme to LatAm throughout 2015. The m2m Global Partner Programme is Telefónica’s approach to the m2m managed connectivity business. The Programme aims to work in collaboration with the key players in the m2m value chain such as device manufacturers, solution providers and distributors, offering a simple, structured and transparent Channel Programme that boosts both the partners’ business and Telefónica’s managed connectivity sales.
Telefónica Business Solutions claims that since its initial launch one year ago, more than 500 registered companies in Europe and the United States have contributed to build a consolidated m2m partner ecosystem. The company said that by leveraging Telefónica’s leading presence in the region, the launch will enrich the Partner Ecosystem with new players and solutions. While creating this ecosystem, Telefónica added that it will also be able to identify the best solution providers in the market that may qualify to become a Vertical Solution partner in the future.
According to Telefónica Business Solutions, the m2m Global Partner Programme has been recently launched in Peru and Mexico and is scheduled in four additional countries (Chile, Colombia, Argentina and Brazil) throughout the first half of 2015. Other countries in the region will then follow suit during the second half of 2015.
Alfonso de Andrés, Director, Telefónica Digital Channels, responsible for the m2m Global Partner Programme worldwide
The m2m Global Partner Programme has proven to be a successful model to manage the m2m connectivity business in Europe and the United States. Therefore, expanding it to LatAm was the natural next step. We look forward to having the Programme fully implemented in LatAm during 2015 as we believe it will have a great impact in developing the m2m market in the region
