In the second half of 2016, we challenged our Platinum and Gold partners to Challenge the Competition with a global partner incentive focused on competitive displacement. Cash prizes were awarded monthly for deal registrations, demos and proof of concepts (POCs). Eight grand prizes were awarded for a trip of a lifetime!

Key Displacement McAfee Products One of the leading competitive displacement products in 2016 was the McAfee Endpoint Security platform. This unique platform provides a collaborative security framework that reduces the complexity of endpoint security environments, provides better performance to protect productivity and visibility into advanced threats, and speeds detection and remediation response. Real-time communication between threat defenses enables the sharing of events so IT can take action against potentially dangerous applications, downloads, websites, and files as suspicious behaviors are observed.

Challenge The Competition Again! In 2016, Platinum and Gold Partner sales representatives and sales engineers were the big winners from each region. The Trip of a Lifetime Grand Prize went to the salesperson with the largest booking within the incentive timeline. Sales engineers were selected in a random drawing for each approved demo and POC within the incentive timeline.

This popular competition runs through 2017. The Trip of A Lifetime prize package for two will be awarded in June and December with additional cash prizes for ENS 10.5 migrations, technical checks completed by sales engineers, and awards for MSP deals. Check out the 2017 Challenge the Competition Global Partner Incentive Program for details.
