- Go-to-market resources: Packaged marketing campaigns, case study opportunities, Partner of the Year Award eligibility, and more.
How do I earn this specialization?
Unlike other specializations, the Frontier Partner specialization is not aligned to a specific Solutions Partner designation. You can earn the specialization by meeting the requirements outlined below.
Note: If your business model primarily focuses on enabling resellers or managing channel distribution rather than direct customer delivery, the
Frontier Distributor designation is the more relevant offering.
