    New Partner Benefits with HP Amplify Program Enhancements

    HP’s success relies heavily on the strength of the channel. Over the past year alone, partners helped drive >$6 billion dollars in revenue growth over the past year (through Q2 FY22).16 Ongoing investments in new partner benefits reflects HP’s continued commitment to the channel in ensuring partners get the insights, training, connection and engagement needed to drive greater productivity and potentially higher profits. Today HP introduced:

    HP Amplify Data Insights Enhancements: Launched nearly one year ago, HP Amplify Data Insights gives partners immediate access to a rich set of data analytics each aimed at influencing the customer buying journey and delivering a more satisfying experience. Acting on partner feedback, HP has expanded its customer-level insights available through the use of advanced analytics – resulting in customer-ready, targeted opportunities for partners to immediately act upon. New automated tools integrate directly with partner sales systems, thus simplifying the way data is collected and delivered to participating partners. Each of these enhancements is designed to create a partner sales force that can be more targeted and effective in winning business.

    HP Amplify Impact Global Expansion: Launched in early 2021, HP Amplify Impact represents a first of its kind partner assessment, resource, and training program, leveraging HP’s own extensive investments and initiatives across Climate Change, Human Rights & Digital Equity. HP today announced the global expansion of this award-winning program – across all markets – via a phased approach over the next two years. Ultimately, partners of all types (resellers, retail, and distribution partners), regardless of location, will have the opportunity to participate in this award-winning program.

    HP Amplify Impact Awards: HP also invites partners to enter its new annual HP Amplify Impact Awards, celebrating partners across 5 categories at an awards ceremony in December 2022. Winners will have the opportunity to promote their award externally with badges and promotional material. Partners can learn more on the HP Partner Portal and track their performance via the Awards Leaderboard.

    Introducing HP Curiocity: Recent studies emphasize the benefits of training and collaborative selling to the bottom line. In response to these trends and based on partner feedback, HP developed a new platform offering enhanced training, community engagement and rewards – all in a single program. Inspired by the open world concept and rewards system of renowned games, HP Curiocity will roll out via a phased approach starting later this year, providing partner sales representatives with access to this unique, collaborative community.
