Quote

"Novell PartnerNet provides new opportunities for Channel Partners to start providing Linux based solutions to their customers. The program is quite comprehensive as it covers sales and technical training, customer training tools, company certification and also fantastic pricing for Novell products besides other benefits. The most useful part would be the product certifications being offered to partners. This would be an absolute winner for partners responding to tenders, selling to government or into the enterprise space. It provides partners with a extremely strong brand like Novell certifying our PCs, thereby increasing customer confidence. I would strongly recommend this program to all partners, wishing to enter and cash in on the huge Linux opportunity."
