Training and Education

Amy Cox – Product Manager, HP Enterprise Solutions

With a solution portfolio as broad, and programs so diverse, as HP’s, keeping up with technologies, certifications, authorizations, and competencies can be an extraordinary challenge.

Bruce Holappa’s field account executives and our inside sales operations team ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) are equipped to help you navigate that landscape. We can assist you with planning for new enterprise authorizations appropriate for your business, maintaining those that you already have, and establishing the route to PartnerONE Elite Program qualifications.

Do you get lost within the HP Partner Portal, and particularly the HP Learning Center? We can assist with that. Do you know which certifications the employees of your company hold, and where you have gaps with authorization and program compliance? We can help you stay on top of that as well.

We are committed to ensuring that you are aware of unique training opportunities from both HP and SYNNEX. Would you like to improve customer satisfaction with the solutions you sell? Ask us how to determine which end-user education is available from HP to better equip your customer to take full advantage of that solution.

There are several important certification update deadlines of which you should be aware. HP has sent notifications to the affected certified individuals.

In the past, SYNNEX has provided courses specific to exam preparation for the APP – Enterprise Solutions [2010] certification. We are currently subsidizing tuition to the BCS Superdome road show for our BCS-authorized partners who want to attain orretain Superdome authorizations. These are back-to-back 1-day sales and 3-day technical courses, with four events still available:

DISCOVER 2011, the premier HP training event of the year will be held in Las Vegas, June 6-10, 2011. The former Tech Forum and Software Universe events have been combined this year as DISCOVER 2011.

Additionally, join us at this year’s HP Software Boot Camp. Some of the planned tracks are perfect for hardware partners who want to provide complete converged infrastructure solutions.

SYNNEX is also developing a unique,“Arm-the-VAR” program, whereby we help you garner additional services revenue through post-sales implementation of EVA and Blade System solutions. Delivered by SYNNEX, this will be hands-on training for real-life situations.
