After a successful launch in December, Canon has extended its PartnerNet online portal which gives Canon resellers access to Canon sales and marketing tools to all of its indirect business resellers. The site has been specifically designed to make doing business with Canon easier and more profitable for IT Resellers.
The site is divided into 4 distinct zones:
My Zone a great resource at users fingertips which is all about their business. In this area they will find the search facility enormously powerful - quick and simple! Just specify the product and in moments view all related materials.
Marketing Zone - contains a huge variety of valuable resources making business easier. Users can set up and run their own tailored marketing campaigns in a few simple clicks using a selection from the pre defined Canon templates in the Campaign Centre.
Sales Zone - Automates processes that were previously manual, streamlining the way partners do business. With the Tenders and Opportunities area they can tell Canon about the support they need to make the Canon offering as competitive as possible.

Pat Marlow, Distribution Channel Director says We are very pleased that PartnerNet is now live and ready. The portal will allow us the opportunity to work with new and existing customers in the IT Reseller channel. I believe that companies who sign up to the site will experience strong commercial benefits of access to the sales and marketing materials online and I look forward to jointly creating and supporting demand amongst end users for purchasing Canon products.
