Program Structure
To make the program simple to participate in, the EMC Business Partner Program uses a common
structure for all types of business partners. Partners fit into the program tracks based on their
business model, and they fit into program tiers based on their level of investment in EMC and the
return on that investment. Benefits accrue to business partners based on their track and tier level.
The program is designed so that partners understand what EMC expects from its business partners
and what benefits EMC provides. A single, central partner portal provides all business partners with
access to the information and resources necessary to be successful in the program.
Tracks
Business partners belong to different tracks within the EMC
Business Partner Program, based on their business model,
and products and services offered. Business partners in
each track must meet certain requirements to participate
in the program; some partners may qualify to participate in
more than one track.
•Solution Provider (VAR)
•Direct Market Resellers (DMR)
•Cloud Service Providers (CSP)
•Global Alliance (GA)
•Information Intelligence Group (IIG)
•RSA SecurWorld (RSA)
•Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM)
Tiers
Business partners belong to tiers within tracks, based on
the amount of investment they make in EMC via training,
certification, and sales of EMC products and services, as
well as the return on that investment. Business partners
receive benefits based on track and tier level.
Original Equipment
Manufacturer Track
Each business model track has three tiers – Silver, Gold,
and Platinum, as well as a track for Authorized Business
Partners. Partners can change tiers by increasing their level
of investment in the program.
Links to Federation
Businesses that partner with EMC have a unique benefit—
access to products, services, and solutions from companies
affiliated with EMC. These companies are independent but
operate closely with EMC to create solutions by combining
their products and services with EMC products and services
to better benefit EMC business partners.
VMware, VCE, Pivotal, and RSA are federated companies that
maintain their own partner programs, closely affiliated with
the EMC Business Partner Program. This alignment enables
partners to earn accelerated benefits, obtain training
credits, and fully leverage cross-federation technology and
solutions to benefit their customers.

Co-op/MDF & Eligibility
Gold and Platinum Solution Providers are eligible to receive

on investment. Eligibility for the MDF program does not
guarantee that EMC will accept a business partner’s proposal.

EMC provides eligible partners with financing solutions to
enable accelerated business growth. Financing is provided
through EMC’s Asset Management and Financial Solutions
Division, Global Financial Services (GFS) to increase
sales revenue and profit margins, accelerate revenue and
cash collection, overcome customer cost objections, and

Cross-Border Deals
EMC prefers local-to-local, in-country transactions, but we
also understand that partners sometimes identify business
opportunities that involve customers outside of their
authorized sales territory. To cover these exceptional cases,
EMC has a policy to facilitate collaboration with other EMC
Business Partners in domestic and international markets,
connect Value Added Resellers (VARs) with EMC Distributors
around the globe, and provide rewards. This offers
advantages to both the originating business partner, who
can provide greater flexibility and choice, and the in-country
partner, who can gain greater sales opportunities.

Demo Program
The demo program is designed to provide eligible Solution
Providers as well as Distributors in participating territories
with the capability to build a lab to demonstrate EMC
equipment to their customers. Eligible partners are able
to acquire EMC products at deeply discounted rates across
product families for the purposes of customer demonstration
and internal training. Partners also have the option to
resell purchased demo equipment to their customers. At
no additional cost EMC offers a virtual demo lab (vLAB) for
partners to utilize for customer demonstrations, and a virtual
training lab (ESVL) for internal training.
A cross-border deal opportunity is when a local EMC
Business Partner entity has agreed to deliver product to or
perform services in any other country. Such opportunities
must by registered by the Channel partner. In return for this,
the selling VAR is eligible for credit toward goal attainment,
and distributors involved in the deal may also receive credit.
Please review the Cross-Border Deal Policy on the Partner
