VADIS Systems will lead the effort to attract top VARs and MSPs to help Paragon service its fast-growing customer base for its backup and disaster recovery as well as storage management and optimization product lines throughout Australia and New Zealand.
Entirely channel focused, Paragon’s two-tiered reseller program offers great benefits such as lead distribution, competitive upgrades, aggressive margins and joint marketing. All sales and technical training and certifications are free of charge for partners.
