“The year 2013 will see us consolidating our partner network and working closely with them to deliver technical and sales enablement trainings in addition to supporting them with customer leads,” said Altaf Halde, Managing Director, Kaspersky Lab South Asia. “As we are a 100% channel-centric company, it is imperative that we support our partners with training and marketing to grow their business,” he added.
Kaspersky Lab has conducted several such technical sessions already in this quarter; about 5 trainings alone were conducted in the Kaspersky Lab Mumbai technical training lab. “Such technical trainings usually are conducted over a period of two days with hands-on lab sessions in deploying our solutions.
