You will be able to access required training applicable to your partnership, as well as optional materials designed to further develop your knowledge of EMC products, solutions, services, and messaging. In addition, you can also explore the enablement resources for different partner types including Federation Partners. ON-BOARDING For those new to their roles or partnering with EMC we offer a recommended orientation program, Fast Start, prior to diving into product and solution training. Fast Start provides an introduction to EMC and the storage industry, as well as information relating to the varying partner types within the Business Partner Program. Leverage this tool within your first few days selling EMC to accelerate your time to productivity. CORE DEVELOPMENT The next step in the development process is the EMC Technologies Program. Students will learn foundational knowledge of EMC products for both Sales and Technical roles, including product introductions and their associated use cases and tools. Additionally, you are provided customer facing collateral such as white board and messaging techniques, demos and other tools to assist in your selling motion. This program enables you to comfortably initiate and lead a sales conversation, while speaking confidently to EMC s portfolio of products, ultimately ensuring that you position the right solution to your customers. There are no required prerequisites for the EMC Technologies program. Once you have earned your Sales or Systems Engineer (SE) credential in the EMC Technologies you can move on to the Converged Infrastructure Program. This development program will provide you with an in-depth understanding of converged infrastructure methodologies and solutions. You will start with an overview of the three paths to the cloud, customer challenges, the market opportunity and the fundamentals of VSPEX and Vblock. With that foundation, you ll now choose if you want to learn more about EMC s VSPEX or VCE s Vblock. The VSPEX curriculum, which is available in a Sales and SE track, will introduce you to the VSPEX program and business framework and will provide you with a deep understanding of VSPEX business and application relevance. SE s will also learn how to effectively size VSPEX solutions. Available to the VCE partners, the Vblock curriculum will provide you with all the information you need to sell and architect Vblock solutions. EMC Technologies credential is a required prerequisite for the Converged Infrastructure program. At the most advanced level of core development is the EMC Solutions program. These intimate, interactive virtual workshops are based on the existing sales playbooks. The workshops will guide you through specific plays for each solution and teach you how to address your customers business challenges with solution selling. The learning format for these workshops is unlike anything else in our Sales and Presales development portfolio. You will be able to collaborate interactively with both the instructors and your peers through virtual exercises. This will allow you to experience live workshop-like interaction without taking time out of the field for travel. Both EMC Technologies and Converged Infrastructure credentials are required prerequisites for the EMC Solutions program. 4 EMC Education Services Partner Education Catalog May 2014 For the latest information visit
