Trend Micro eyes channel growth

Trend Micro has set up three technology support labs (Tech Labs), known as
the 'Trend Micro Experience Labs' as part of their Affinity Partner program, to
help empower its channel partners in India. These labs are being set up in New
Delhi, Bengaluru and Mumbai.

Amit Nath, Country Manager-India and SAARC, Trend Micro said, "We decided to
setup customer/partner Trend Micro Experience Labs at Mumbai, New Delhi and
Bengaluru for the use and benefit of our channel community. These ready-to-use
Tech Labs are equipped to let our partners demonstrate the entire Trend Micro
portfolio of products to our prospective customers. For their internal training
purposes, these Labs provide enterprise class infrastructure for our partners to
experience the entire Trend Micro portfolio of products. We also provide
hands-on training where each participant gets his own dedicated hardware for
learning purpose," added Nath.

Furthermore, these 'Labs' also give the partners and customers a real-time
simulated environment where they can try and test various scenarios that they
might otherwise not be able to do onsite. With the introduction of this program,
Trend Micro expects a 50 percent growth in its number of channel partners in
India, claimed Nath.
