General Overview: Opportunity Registration is a program that enables Partners to register opportunities with Avaya, track and manage opportunities throughout the lifecycle and potentially qualify for program benefits. Opportunity Registration enables Partners and Avaya Associates to have full visibility into the Avaya funnel and facilitates the best possible strategy and decision making for the partnership. Opportunity Registration is a Global program, available to all Authorized, Silver, Gold and Platinum-level Avaya Partners, in APAC, CALA, EMEA and NA. Partners can register Avaya opportunities using the Opportunity Registration function in PRM Partner View. There is no opportunity size limit for registration. Partners are encouraged to enter all Avaya opportunities. The Partner that registers an opportunity first and is approved by Avaya will become the "Preferred Partner" for that opportunity. The "Preferred Partner" is the only Partner that is eligible for Opportunity Registration program benefits. Partners that register an opportunity after the opportunity has already been registered and approved by Avaya will become a "Registered Partner" for that opportunity. The Registered Partner is not eligible for Opportunity Registration program benefits.
