While Infinigate maintains a rigorous approach for onboarding partners , the most crucial aspect is the ability to be flexible and adapt to specific needs of channel partners . For example , some partners may possess unique skills and expertise , but lack the resources to access a broad market .
In such cases , Infinigate ’ s extensive network and experience become invaluable in bridging this gap . “ Our primary requirement for any partner is that they are hungry for growth and open to new opportunities ,” indicates Ferrand-Ajchenbaum . •

Ferrand-Ajchenbaum ’ s primary advice for partners is to evolve within IT transformation , build around subscriptions and consumptions models by proposing SaaS and adding value to software offerings . To ensure channel partners remain competitive , they need to become service-focused , which is what Infinigate enables .
To succeed in this space , partners must understand that cybersecurity is rapidly evolving . Those that have the agility to pivot to the latest growth opportunities and have a comprehensive range of value-added services are the ones who will succeed .
Each partner has unique demands and a specialised focus depending on their operating region . However , the cybersecurity services that contribute the most often involve partnering with vendors to provide something complementary to their existing offering . For example , this could mean offering Level 1 and Level 2 support and maintenance , filling a critical gap in their capabilities .
