Supporting the lifecycle of an OS partner
As part of the OS Channel Partner Programme, we’ve introduced an enablement scheme that supports the lifecycle of an OS Partner: introductory sessions, deep dives, advanced sessions, and ongoing knowledge transfer through briefings and learning sessions.
This consists of a range of training sessions with briefings on product launches, and a calendar of activities engaging partner technical staff and developers.

Ongoing knowledge transfer
Our Education and Enablement scheme focuses on technical and sales training to support your growth as an OS Partner. OS are investing so we can drive outcomes for yourselves and your clients. The Programme is accessible, modular, and tailored to individual needs. Through this exciting and educational offering, OS will work more collaboratively with you, as valued Partners.

Enablement is a key component of Partners’ innovation and product development.
Our Education and Enablement scheme will support you in acquiring new customers and accessing new markets. We will help you upskill yourself and your teams on the latest product, sales, and technical detail, straight from channel-focused sales and technical experts.
Scope to upskill you and your teams on the latest product, sales capability, and technical detail, straight from the OS experts
Technical workshops and engagement to inform the strategic and technical direction of OS and its product development
Channel-focused sales resources and technical experts to advise on accessing new markets, and acquiring new customers
You will be invited to attend Enablement Modules by your Account Manager or through email newsletters, dependent on your allocated tier and understanding of OS data and services.
The Programme Modules will be delivered by multiple teams within OS, including our Channel Sales Development Managers, Technical Consultants, Product Managers, and more. Across the Modules, you can expect to receive a variety of resources, all designed to support your growth as an OS Partner:
We recommend that all Partners start at Module One to refresh and confirm their capability and access the latest sales tools and resources. Module One will always remain available to everyone, in case you or your colleagues wish to go back to basics.
If you are a new Partner, you will likely be required to complete Module One prior to starting Module Two – this is at the discretion of your Account Manager who will be in contact and discuss this with you.
If you are more technically minded and already experienced in OS data and services, it may be appropriate to start at Module Two.

Whether you’re new to OS, or need a refresher, we provide a collection of regular webinars with Q&A sessions, introducing you to OS, the Partner Programme, and our data and services.
