HP Expands U.S. Print Premier Channel Partner Program

HP Inc. announced a new expansion of account opportunities for U.S. print premier channel partners. Beginning immediately, thousands of Managed Print Services (MPS) Speciality accounts that were previously directly engaged by HP will begin to be made available as premier channel opportunities. The program is a next step in the company’s office printing strategy to concurrently grow contractual and channel this year, while earning incremental market share in both the A3 and A4 categories.

The expanded U.S. print premier channel partner program builds on HP’s commitment to channel partners providing MPS services and distributing the company’s A3 and A4 product lines. Over the past five years, HP has significantly strengthened its MPS partner channel, and customers today have a variety of options to acquire HP products and solutions through both regional and national partners.

Under the expansion, a larger segment of MPS accounts will be served with one dedicated HP lead account manager who spearheads print and copy solutions and one channel lead for MPS. The HP lead account manager is exclusively committed to each customer and the channel collaborates with the HP account executive to serve the customer together.
