KPN launches UK business partner programme

Dutch telecommunications provider, KPN International, is opening its Business Partner Programme to UK VNOs, Network Integrators and VARs, in response to a demand for cross-border networking solutions.

The programme will allow UK channel partners to extend their international business, through access to KPN’s wholly-owned fibre network across Europe.

KPN’s network reaches 180 countries globally, via 100,000 km of cables and partnerships with 30 regional carriers. The network covers 85% of the world economy and services over 26 million customers.

KPN’s Business Partner Programme allows partners to enhance their own offering to customers, with KPN International’s data services, including VPN, Ethernet, SDH, Wavelength and fibre services.

This can help companies differentiate themselves from competing offerings and generate additional business.

The programme provides a range of support to partners, including consulting and sales support and allocated account managers, sales engineers and service engineers.

A pricing tool is available, which can build a price and a quote, and generate appropriate paperwork.

The programme also includes comprehensive commercial support such as a Framework Master Services Agreement and 24/7 customer service; joint marketing programs and initiatives and a product and Sales Training Programme.
