Citrix Solution Advisor Programme

Citrix made important changes to the Citrix Solution Advisor programme on June 1, 2011.  The Authorised level has been eliminated and Citrix are now inviting these partners to become Silver partners by meeting the new Silver requirements.

All new partners will join as Silver partners going forward and have until their next membership renewal to achieve a minimum product sales goal and become certified to sell at least one product.  Sales will be measured based on product sales and influenced product sales (see guide for more details). 

Minimally engaged partners will have their membership terminated on 31st December 2011, where they will then be offered the opportunity to re-engage to remain in the programme.  All partners who meet the new requirements will continue with their Silver, Gold or Platinum membership with no distruptions. 

As a reminder, partners do not need to be a Citrix Solution Advisor to sell Citrix XenApp Fundamentals.  If you currently distribute XenApp Fundamentals, please continue to make this available to partners who are not quite ready to join as a Solution Advisor.

Citrix Solution Advisor Programme levels

Silver – all regions The Citrix Solution Advisor Silver programme is designed for resellers who are looking to add Citrix products to their vertical or specific solution offerings; either larger resellers who leverage Citrix or resellers who typically service Small and Medium Businesses (SMB), departmental or other small engagements.

Gold – all regions The Citrix Solution Advisor Gold programme targets resellers who focus on virtual computing infrastructure as a core part of their business offerings. These partners use Citrix products to deliver a set of applications for customers – designing and implementing secure networks and system management. Note: Solution Advisors are required to be Silver for a minimum of six months before they are able to qualify to move to Gold status.

Platinum - all regions The Citrix Solution Advisor Platinum programme is invitation only for resellers who build a business on virtual computing infrastructure and those that consistently execute well against revenue and customer goals. These partners are highly limited in number and are very tightly connected to the Citrix sales teams.
